Crossplay & Counterfeit Law
(Federal Law & Regulations Link)
Federal Law:
• The US Constitution Article 1, Section 8 gives congress exclusive
authority to coin and regulate money… vested in the US Mint.
• The US Mint has defined the physical and usage limits for tokens,
prohibiting crossplay of tokens with other coins or tokens.
• 18 USC – 336/491 provides penalties for producing tokens intended
for use in other establishments.
• The Law: When a token is accepted in another establishment for
face value, then it has become money… and penalties may apply.
• The US Mint requires casinos to a) sell only their own tokens to
customers, and b) use only their own tokens on table games.
Crossplay Problems
(Crossplay Articles Link)
Nickel-Silver tokens in adjacent casinos.
Casinos bear cost of backroom sorting, armored truck redistribution.
US nickels & Canadian 1985-1999 nickels.
Canadian nickels could play for $.70 cents on the dollar in the US.
The 2 Euro and the Thai 10 Bhat.
The Thai 10 Bhat coin is worth about 0.16 Euros.
$5 Canadian and $1 US 1.465” tokens.
$1 US tokens in Canada are worth about $1.4 in their $5 slots.
Casino, arcade, and carwash tokens.
An arcade or carwash token may have any value… guess what?
Counterfeit Problems
(Counterfeiting Articles Link)
$1 & $5 Nickel-Silver slugged with lead.
Lead weights from car tires are melted and poured into disk molds.
HS-1 alloy and cut-penny lead slugs.
Changing the conductivity with HS-1 didn’t stop them very long.
Shaved coins fool hopper credit sensor.
Trim only .030” from the diameter and slam it in an old comparator.
$2 US tokens played in $1 machines.
Same as coin shaving… but may be legal… hoppers still empty.
Lost wax process cast tokens.
A class counterfeiting operation, fools all but X-Mark.

X-Mark Optical Codes
 The X-Mark has an array of inclined reflective facets
minted in a band about the periphery of the token.
 Many different X-Mark Codes can be made by
having different rotational angles of the facet faces.
120°
142°
30°
60°
75°
 The X-Mark is recessed below the surface of protective
“Guard Bands” on each side of the X-Mark annular band.
X-Mark Optical Codes



X-Mark Optics include one photo-transistor and two infrared LEDs.
Each unit can detect one of two possible code angles… or none at all.
The positions of the photo-elements sets which angles it can detect.

Photo-Transistor
105° / 165°

The light from the LEDs focuses through the lens molded
into the housing to the token, and then back through the lens
to focus on a phototransistor if the reflection is correct.

H-Mark vs X-Mark
 The X-Mark has an array of inclined reflective facets
minted in a band about the periphery of the token.
 When aligned with a light beam, the front and back
sides of the facets create symmetrical bright spots.
 The H-Mark produces asymmetrical bright spots
from a merged pair of virtual holographic facets that
cannot be physically minted into a metal surface.
This Makes H-Mark Virtually Counterfeit Proof.

Anti-Series Magnetic Field
As the coin falls through, separate
measurements are first taken on the
edge of the coin, and later in the
center of the coin.
The Series field penetrates through
the coin and is primarily influenced
by alloy. The Anti-Series field is
strongly influenced by thickness of
the coin because of the central null.
High Frequency For Surface
Low Frequency fields penetrate
much deeper into the coin than do
High Frequency fields. Thus, the
High Frequency field is much more
strongly influenced by the clad layer.

Question:

2. You will limit your revenue generation rate from fast players.
3. Your fast players may think the machine is defective and move on.
Built-In Credit Optics
External Credit Optics:
• Part of the slot machine, such as IGT S+.
• Located just below the coin acceptor.
• Acceptor SENSE pulse is used to activate
the machines credit optics for a moment.
Internal Credit Optics:
• Part of the coin acceptor , not the machine.
• Located just above and below the gate relay.
• Acceptor CREDIT pulse used by slot machine.
 If Neither Machine Nor Xeptor Have Credit Optics:
Installed Credit Optics
All Xeptors produce both SENSE and CREDIT pulses, so the slot
machine will function normally, but will be susceptible to stringing.
Security Question:
 If Both Machine And Xeptor Have Credit Optics:
What If I Use The Wrong Credit Optics Option?
For the same reason, the slot machine will function normally. Built-in credit sensors
provide the best stringing defense by combining sequence logic from its other sensors.
K-Key & X-Tracker
Security Questions:
1. Who Has Access To Change Coin Programming?
( Who really could get their grubby mits on the acceptor if they wanted to? )
2. Who Re-programmed This Xeptor… And When?
( When you get scammed, will there be any tracks left by the perpetrator? )
K-Key & X-Tracker
The X-Key Provides:
1. Access control for who can reprogram Xeptors.
2. A record of re-programmed Xeptor Serial Numbers.
3. A Time-Date-AuthID Stamp for the Xeptor to record.
Once an Xeptor is re-programmed

 Learn the Unwanted Coin in Coin Memory #1, Good Coin in #2.
 To identify it as a coin to reject, press button Sw-1 13 times.
 Complete the normal Coin Learn cycle as usual.
 The Xeptor will then reject / accept based on the better match.
Installation & Operation
Coin Programming Via Coin Selector
Coin Selector Web Page
How Simple Is This?
1. Plug the Coin Selector into an IDX Xeptor.
2. Press the button for the coin to accept.
3. Unplug the Coin Selector and off you go!
The Advantages?
1. Saves Time. ( That’s a no-brainer! )
2. No Learn Errors. ( Like leaving old coins in memory )
3. Complete Profile. ( Like having all three Canadian nickel coin signatures )
4. Copy & Clone. ( For those “special coins” or custom tokens )

Master Tech Question:
You have an Xeptor in a machine that stops working.
What is your short list of things to check…..
1. When the LED is
?
2. When the LED is
?


It is Dead… Check the connector, check for wire breaks, swap unit.
It is Inhibited…. Check the door open switch, coin-in limit, check Sw2=0, swap unit.
3. When the LED is

It is Sick… Turn Sw2 through positions 7 – F to determine the fault.
4. When the LED is

?
?
Check Sw2=0, check for wire harness pulling unit open, check coin programming.
