From March 15-17, Madrid will once again become the world capital of the gaming industry with the 38th edition of “Feria Internacional del Juego” – International Gambling and Gaming Trade Show. FIJMA 2022 will bring together international companies and manufacturers of slots and gaming equipment with the world’s leading representatives of the sector in Hall 7 of IFEMA.

The Spanish team at Innovative Technology will be exhibiting their latest offerings on stand #A8 and plan to have their cash recyclers and coin handling products centre stage, as well demonstrating how their biometrics solutions can be utilised to benefit the gaming industry.

Mustapha Hadj-Ahmed, ITL Sales Director commented, “FIJMAin March will be the first exhibition in the ITL calendar this year after a number of hi-profile postponements, so we are very much looking forward to meeting with other industry professionals and gaming operators in person. Usually biannual, the event this year is long overdue, the first since 2019, so it’s even more important to get all of the main players from the Spanish Gaming industry together again.”

Mustapha added, “We are looking forward to showing how combining our compact note recycler and advanced coin recycler, NV22 Spectral (NV22S) and Smart Coin System (SCS) gives Operators the best fit for cash handling efficiency for gaming machines in Spain. The compact NV22S fits into most existing gaming machines and can store and recycle up to 40 mixed denomination notes helping to reduce coin starvation to keep machines running. It is a unique product due to its multi note recycling capabilities, any note can be paid out, not just the last note in and Spectral Technology delivers outstanding protection against fraudulent and stained notes.  The SCS coin validator, mixed coin hopper and recycler in one enables bulk and single coin inserts. With a large capacity of 1400 coins (€1 coins), customers have reported significant machine uptime improvements. Using both SCS and NV22S units combined gives the Operator considerable float management savings by reducing float levels by up to 30% and a reduction in refill times by at least 50%, saving time, resources and costs for your business.”

ITL have launched several biometric solutions over the past few years. ICU Intelligent Identification uses facial analysis technology for age verification & face recognition.

Continuing Mustapha said, “We will also demo both ICU Pro and ICU Lite. Using non-intrusive facial analysis technologies customers can control access and perform age verification at entrances to gaming venues or at individual machines or betting terminals. With world leading accuracy, offline usage and no recurring transaction fees, ICU is a cost-effective biometric solution available to all.”

Concluding Mustapha said, “We have very strong relationships with our Spanish customers so will proudly have our validators displayed on several of our customers’ stands at the show too. Our team will be on stand #A8 so come along and see how ourcompact, affordable peripherals can generate more profit and real operational efficiencies.”
