LAS VEGAS - According to a news release, JCM American unveiled its Optipay BV, the first amusement bill validator with the capability of accepting barcode coupons, at the Amusement and Music Operators Association.

The Optipay BV is part of JCM's pioneering line of products targeting the amusement industry, and the Optipay System is equipped with JCM's "Smart Pay" technology. Now the Optipay BV adds barcode coupon acceptance to the mix, meaning the Optipay System is the world's first and only validator to accept notes and barcode coupons.

JCM vice president of commercial sales Dave Elich said, "When we first introduced Optipay, it immediately began transforming the vending and amusement industries, giving both operators and consumers more choices and more control over their transactions. Now, we are opening the door to a new era, allowing amusement operators to accept barcode coupons as well as notes ranging from $1 to $100. This has incredibly positive implications for operators, marketers and consumers."
