JCM expands in non-gaming markets

In an attempt to diversify its business base away from casinos, Japan Cash Machine Company Limited (JCM) is reportedly eager to begin selling more currency-checking technology in emerging markets for non-gaming uses such as foreign exchange.

According to a report from the Nikkei Asian Review newspaper, JCM is hoping to achieve approximately US$ 44.5 million in overseas non-gaming sales by 2019, which is 40% above current levels, and is targeting Thailand as a major source of new revenues.

JCM’s currency validators can detect counterfeit cash and count money and the firm it intends to begin selling these units to currency-exchange machine manufacturers in Thailand by March of next year.

The Nikkei Asian Review also reported that JCM is keen to begin selling its validator technology for use in automated teller machines (ATMs) in Russia and intends to utilize existing casino equipment sales agents in the country, including two based in Moscow, to get a leg up on the competition. It moreover intends to offer maintenance services with all of its Russia-bound technology set to be manufactured at its plant in China.

JCM holds around a 60% global market share in currency detectors for slot machines while sales into the gaming segment, which includes casino equipment, accounted over half of the firm’s revenues for the year to the end of March.
