The slot machines on Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino’s casino floor are now protected by the award-winning iVIZION bill validator by JCM Global (JCM). JCM recently completed an upgrade at the property, installing iVIZION on more than 1400 games, and now the entire casino slot floor utilizes iVIZION.

“Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino is pleased to announce the recent upgrade of all UBA bill validators to the latest JCM iVIZION bill validator technology. Our partnership with JCM spans more than 20 years, dating back to the early WBA series, and this latest advancement further reinforces our commitment to delivering a superior guest experience,” said Sean Emel, Director of Slots at Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino.

“With more than 2000 slot machines now equipped with state-of-the-art iVIZION bill validators, guests at Chukchansi Gold will benefit from enhanced performance, reliability, and security. We look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with JCM as we invest in technologies that elevate our casino floor,” Sean Emel added.

Chukchansi Gold also uses JCM’s GEN5 thermal printer and ICB Intelligent Cash Box system to help deliver on their promise that excellence is part of the experience.

JCM SVP – Sales, Marketing & Operations Dave Kubajak said: “The Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino has been voted the best casino in Central California for 18 years for many reasons, and JCM is honored to continue our partnership with the property. We have worked closely with the Chukchansi Gold team for more than two decades and are thrilled to complete this latest phase of the technology road map we created for the property.”

JCM’s iVIZION is the leading bill validator in its class, unmatched in both security and performance. Its advanced Contact Image Sensor (CIS) technology enhances security by scanning 75 times more data points than any bill validator, capturing the full image of both sides of a banknote or ticket, all while maintaining the fastest and highest acceptance rate.
