Table accepts tickets or cash. In the future, it will be able to accept smart cards.” While there may not currently be much crossover of slot players to tables and vice versa, NRT believes that Quick Table offers multiple benefits for players and operators alike. “The benefit is not just the cross pollination—the key benefits of Quick Table is chip retention at the table, better real-time reporting of cash holdings and improved systems management ,” states Art Ayow. “The casinos pay a very high price when people walk away from the tables with chips in their hands. The casinos have to replenish the chips. They lose track of those chips.When they leave the Quick Table, they will get a ticket, which they can cash or keep for future use. And from the property’s perspective, instead of having the dealer count the chips and pay the cash, the dealer’s already been able to deal another hand.” Security Another advantage of Quick Table’s TITO capability is to detect counterfeit bills at the table. “When a dealer is counting cash, he or she has no way of identifying what is counterfeit. With our product, he has that option because Quick Table has a bill validator,” points out Mr Ayow. “It slows down the process a little bit, but it depends on what the casino operator wants to do. Does he want to hold up the game? Does he want to send a message to security to say, ‘Hey, we have a guy here who’s brought in a stack of 50 bills and five of them are counterfeit’? Or does he want to process the game and allow security time to deal with the situation? Quick Table offers that flexibility.” The processing power of the Quick Table is run by the same CHS™ (Cash Handling System) software that powers NRT’s automated kiosks.Thatmeans theQuickTable’s cash andTITOhandling capability meets international banking standards as well as the regulatory requirements of the major gaming jurisdictions. A handle on handle “But our cash handling system gives them a much better chance of knowing precisely the handle. In fact, it’s so accurate it could save them the trouble of having to do a recount back in the cash room.” NRT is confident that once the Quick Table concept is fully developed, it could be sold directly to new casino properties as the next generation solution for cash handling at tableside. “We think we could sell it straight into a new casino. And if we make the value proposition attractive enough, it could be a replacement option in an existing casino. We’re very excited about its potential,” says Mr Ayow. Quick Table™
