SUZOHAPP’S MFL NOTE READER HIGHLY PRAISED IN SOUTH AFRICA

Over 8,000 units continually working fine for many years.Oud-Beijerland, The Netherlands – The MFL banknote reader from SUZOHAPP has received a glowing report from customers in South Africa. The MFL offers a host of benefits – that together have created an extremely reliable, long-serving product. The proof is plain to see as there are well over 8,000 units in the field in South Africa alone. The first MFL bill readers were installed over eight years ago and are still performing very well.

It is the performance over time that makes a banknote reader stand out. The fact that the glowing reports from casino operators in South Africa continue to flow, even after eight years of enjoying daily service from the MFLs, is a convincing testimony.

The MFL is a front-load bill reader, meaning that the notes are entered from the front into the multi-sensor technology. The MFL utilises a patented alignment mechanism, so straightening the note and ensuring an even higher true note acceptance rate. The beltless bill path guarantees a very long working life – as corroborated by customers on the gaming floors. The MFL offers all that is needed of an electronic bill reader – a lockable and secured cashbox (for 600 or 1000 notes), the ability to link with multiple protocols and be simply updated (by smart-stick memory card or the machine host).

SUZOHAPP places great importance on optimal service and therefore works together with MP Gaming in South Africa. MP Gaming has great experience with currency validators and is thus the ideal partner for SUZOHAPP. This is particularly appreciated with local operators.

Mr. Markus Prader, Founding Partner of MP Gaming, comments on the popularity of the MFL in South Africa, “The MFL is a robust, reliable and solid validator. It is a workhorse and does its job extremely well. That goes to show just why we have so many MFLs still running in the field over eight years after it was first introduced”.

Mr. Harald Wagemaker, Executive Vice President Sales & Marketing of Gaming and Casino EMEA, explains the future plans for the MFL, “We have an industry-leading banknote reader in the MFL and the feedback from our customers in key markets goes hand-in-hand with our future plans for the MFL. Although we acquired the MFL line, this is now very much a SUZOHAPP product and so follows the same mandate within our corporate philosophy – namely to continue to innovate to ensure that the benefits for our customers not only remain but increase as well”.
