Why did Harrah's go coinless?
In Response To: HARRAH'S GOES SLOTLESS sad ()

One of the big reasons for the big order with IGT is that many of the older IGT S series slots are not compatible with TITO (which Harrah's calls Fast Cash).

In our market our competitor went TITO last year and our customers have been asking us when we are going that way, most of them love TITO. By the way our competitor has made big gains in market share since going TITO.

IMHO...I am sure that there are a few people that do not like TITO, because they like hearing the coins, but many guests dislike cashing out and waiting for a hopper fill or hand pay, since many guests do not like to feed coins into a slot machine they have to endure the line at a coin redemption with 3 or 4 full buckets of coin just to cash in and get bills to put back in the bill validator in another slot machine. That is why TITO is popular with many guests. There are many benefits on the operations side that makes TITO attractive to casinos... including reduction in Jackpots, Handpays and Hopper and Reserve fills, which reduces movement of hard currency and smaller chances of variances (errors) between the cage and slots. Which would save a casino lots of time, labor and money.
