EZ Pay has been very successful at the Fiesta, SunCoast, Reserve, Barona, Casino Arizona, and every place else it's been installed. If it's a hit on the strip with the tourists, it'll really take off. For you naysayers out there, I say figure out what you're talking about before you scoff. For one thing, most of these machines have both hoppers and ticket printers. It's my belief that the best thing is to give the player a choice. People like Travis playing 2 or 3 coin slots, dropping in coins from their buckets, should be able to get coin out. But if you're playing one of the new 45 coin (or more) slots by feeding $20 bills into it, what do you want a bucket of coins for? Take them to the cashier and stand in line to turn them back into folding money? Or stand at the next machine and drop 18 or 45 coins in the slot for every pull? The customers have made it incredibly clear that they love the new 9 (or more) line video slots. But without coin in, players far too frequently find themselves stuck in a hopper empty tilt, waiting for a fill. It's a nightmare for the customers and the casinos. EZ Pay is the solution. GET USED TO IT!
