Many online slots players in Maine are happy to be getting a new casino there, but the new technology that is coming with it is yet another thing to be happy about. W the new Hollywood Slots opens next week in Maine, it will be the 2nd new casino in the United States that has opened in 2005 using JCM's Universal Bill Acceptor (UBA) and Sentry.

Hollywood Slots at Bangor, a Penn National Gaming property, is scheduled to open November 4, and each of the casino's 475 slots will be fitted solely with JCM's UBA and Sentry. The UBA made its world debut earlier this year at Wynn Las Vegas.

The high-tech UBA is the next creation of bill acceptors that can take multiple currencies at one time in one version of software. The UBA sports the latest sensing technology, the UBA is completed by its forward/backward-compatible, high-impact Plastic Cash Box. The well-respected Casino Journal recently named the UBA as one of the Top 20 Most Innovative Gaming Technology Products for last year.

JCM's Sentry is an extremely creative small bill acceptor designed with easy-to-read LED indicators. The brilliant lighting be seen easily seen on the casino floor, making customer service faster and problem detection fast and easy. 6 different icons show customers the type of service necessary, and a last-bill denomination indicator helps settle disputes. The Sentry's design is adaptable to nearly every slot machine out there.

No if it were only that easy at home for online slot players - some day.
