Medical Resources Technologies is the manufacturer of TickeTrak(TM), a coinless peripheral device for the gaming industry.
TickeTrak(TM) was developed as a solution to the cost of using coins in gaming machines. It facilitates coinless processing through the use of barcoded tickets. The device is designed to print a ticket upon a customer's request to cash out. Using a patent pending process, the ticket is verified for accuracy. Customers are free to cash out or use the tickets for continued play at other machines. Tickets can be customized with greetings or individual casino advertising.
The stand alone system will provide the ability to print, redeem and verify custom printed tickets and allow the customer to cash out at various locations within the casino. The server will be configured to handle the amount of transactions in the day to day operation of the casino. To maximize server performance, the server is connected to slot machine clusters using a series of Ethernet hubs. Various stations will be provided for support, accounting, and cashier personnel. All transmissions to and from the server will be encrypted to satisfy security issues.
''This is the first complete system of its kind,'' said Dennis Sorenson, president of Medical Resources Technology, and a 29-year veteran in Bar Code design. ''Just as the bar code industry revolutionized pricing and inventory control, our system could revolutionize the gaming industry. It's fully automated and requires no third-party intervention.''
In the United States, the casino industry is a $28 billion dollar business. Globally, over $1 trillion dollars are wagered in casinos. Currently slot machines represent 83% of the average casino's gross revenue. ''Approximately, 90% of the world's slot machines could be retrofitted to use the TickeTrak(TM) system,'' added Sorenson.
