CashClub Wallet™ is a sophisticated, interactive wallet that consolidates payment options for players when integrated with Everi’s CashClub® software and full-service Xchange kiosks. CashClub Wallet allows players to store multiple payment methods, easily move funds in and out of the casino, and manage their spend limits, thus supporting responsible gaming initiatives. CashClub Wallet also creates consistency across payment types through a convenient and efficient patron interface.

CXC 5.0 is Everi’s newest full service kiosk offering enhanced security features including self-frosting glass and a real-time rear view camera to give casino patrons a more private and secure cash access experience.  Built with the operator in mind, the CXC 5.0 kiosk provides ample branding and marketing space on the second screen as well as on custom fit LCD panels between each kiosk in wall or pod configurations.  Everi’s newest kiosks offer the Company’s same great functionality such as ATM, bill break, ticket redemption, QuikTicket™, and Giving Module with a more sophisticated, secure and appealing look.  CXC 5.0 L offers smaller properties similar security features and marketing opportunities on a smaller footprint device.

AML Intelligence  for Everi Compliance™ combines the Company’s deep experience in gaming AML with VizExplorer’s industry-proven analytics platform to help operators quickly identify potentially suspicious activity. As casino systems create an ever-increasing amount of data, proper tools are necessary to sift through this data to extract meaningful intelligence and insight.  AML Intelligence provides operators with easy-to-use tools for searching, case management, subject management and monitoring that are needed for federal mandate compliance.

Bringing Innovation to Floor-Wide Cash Access With an unmatched focus on helping operators save both time and money, Everi’s innovative funds access products provide players with the options they need to manage their funds for use on the casino floor.  These solutions also create unique user experience efficiencies for players and represent a bridge to the casino of the future as they bring cashless and other payment types to the slot floor.  Everi Payments will showcase QuikTicket , which expands the funds to the floor options provided by Everi kiosks by allowing operators to dispense gaming tickets in lieu of cash along with CashClub Concierge , which offers personalized cage access services for VIP customers, table games players and high limit room players that are fully integrated with Everi’s CashClub software, eliminating the need for a player to stop gaming in order to access additional funds for play.

Everi Improves Casino Floor Cash Handling In today’s environment, casino operators are continually looking for ways to improve the efficiency of their operations, reduce overhead and manage rising labor costs. Everi’s industry-leading cash handling solutions are ideally positioned to automate and even eliminate certain tedious cash handling functions, allowing operators to focus their attention where it is needed most: on the player.  Everi will showcase several unique offerings: CageXchange™ improves cash accuracy and provides for secure cash storage, allowing operators to protect their funds and reduce counting and balancing times; RecyclerXchange™ offers automatic sorting, counting and storage of cash, and eliminates the need for manual currency counting and verification by cage staff; and JackpotXchange® Lite (JXC-L) with Jackpot Xpress™ , a full-service jackpot payout solution built to help operators improve guest service, increase player time on device and streamline operations. Utilizing JXC-L, Everi’s smaller footprint jackpot kiosk device with integrated ID scanner, and Jackpot Xpress, which leverages mobile device capabilities to allow for the secure and efficient collection of patron information, operators can now pay out jackpots directly at the gaming machine.
