6 Tuesday, September 24, 2013 ONE CASINO'S JUNK IS ANOTHER'S TREASURE: SOLD THROUGH EAST COAST SLOTS By Chase Easterling We all know how easy it is to put things off with the intention of dealing with them later, but later never comes. If you are in the casino industry, especially the slot department, you know exactly what I am talking about. Most people who are involved in casino slot operations have a "graveyard" full of machines and equipment that they don't have room for anymore, but don't know what do to with. Don't let this treasure collect dust any longer. Turn your unused machines, software, boards, bv's, printers, etc. into cash, now! Getting rid of your unused equipment not only puts cash back into your department, but also frees up valuable space by getting clutter out of your warehouse. Machines and parts that you may think are worth nothing may have a significant value to someone in the used equipment industry, so why not check it MAXTIME HOLE CARD READER PROVIDES SPEED, SECURITY The MAXTime® hole card reader, invented by Arthur Miller of Tech Art and introduced to Nevada casinos in early 1990, is the ideal solution to a dilemma that turned up in Nevada in the 1990s, after blackjack rules were changed to provide greater security against hole card exposure and dealer tells. This rule change eliminated the problem of hole card exposure, but created another one: the loss of a dozen or so hands per hour as a result of playing out hands when the dealer had blackjack at the outset but was not aware of the fact until the players played out their hands. In addition, the new procedure irritated players, particularly if they doubled down or drew to 21, but belatedly lost their bet. Miller, who had worked in table gaming in Las Vegas casinos for many years, was convinced there was a way to address hole card security without causing delays to the game and without the loss of hands per hour caused by not allowing the dealer to check the hole card or not allowing the dealer to receive a second card at the outset of play. He went to work on a prototype at his kitchen table, perfecting it until the MAXTime hole card reader was ready for its debut in Nevada casinos.

The device came into almost universal use in Nevada casinos and the company then directed its efforts to New Jersey, where mandated rules of play precluded the dealer from checking the hole card whether the up card was an ace or a ten value card, a rule which, like the European rule of not allowing the dealer a second card until all play is concluded, has an even greater negative impact on productivity and revenue. From its beginnings in Nevada and expansion to Atlantic City, Tech Art then entered the casino market in Puerto Rico, whose gaming regulation largely mirrored New Jersey. Like New Jersey, Puerto Rico permitted a rule change to allow the use of the MAXTime device. Introduction of the MAXTime hole card reader and Las Vegas-style blackjack has led to significant revenue increases illustrations to resolve virtually any issue that may arise.
