Crossplay & Counterfeit LawCrossplay & Counterfeit Law

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.

X-Mark Optical CodesX-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.

The X-Mark is recessed below the surface of protective “Guard Bands” on each side of the X-Mark annular band.

120120°° 142142°° 3030°°6060°° 7575°°


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.

60° / 120° 105° / 165° 30° / 142° 0° / 30°

Photo-Transistor

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.

Security Question: Won’t Other Mints Copy X-Mark And Defeat Its Security Value?

IDX owns world wide patents on the art of optically encoded tokens and has more than once stopped mints from making tokens that would jeopardize X-Mark’s crossplay security.

H-Mark vs X-MarkH-Mark vs X-Mark

The H-Mark produces asymmetrical bright spots from a merged pair of virtual holographic facets that cannot be physically minted into a metal surface.

When aligned with a light beam, the front and back sides of the facets create symmetrical bright spots.

This Makes H-Mark Virtually Counterfeit Proof.

The X-Mark has an array of inclined reflective facets minted in a band about the periphery of the token.

H-Mark StatusH-Mark Status

Ticket-In-Ticket-Out technology that started to emerge in 2001 took hold and reduced market interest in tokens.

The X-Mark still had not been successfully counterfeited. X-Mark’s great security record makes H-Mark not yet needed.

The H-Mark Token And Xeptor Development Were Completed In 2003.

The Market, However, Had A Mind Of Its Own

H-Mark Is On Production Hold… Until The Market Says Otherwise.

A metal alloy sensor induces eddy currents to flow in the coin using high frequency magnetic fields.

Energy lost to the current flowing through the metal resistance is measured to determine alloy composition.

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.

Low Frequency For Interior

High Frequency For Surface

Clad Coins

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.

A coin of diameter X starting at rest, falls a distance equal to its diameter in time t. The next coin can then start to fall behind it.

Built-In Credit OpticsBuilt-In Credit Optics

Installed 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.

Security Question:What If I Use The Wrong Credit Optics Option?

If Neither Machine Nor Xeptor Have Credit Optics:All Xeptors produce both SENSE and CREDIT pulses, so the slotmachine will function normally, but will be susceptible to stringing.

If Both Machine And Xeptor Have Credit Optics:For the same reason, the slot machine will function normally. Built-in credit sensorsprovide the best stringing defense by combining sequence logic from its other sensors.

Coin Programming - ManuallyLink To HyperTerminal

Xeptors Have 6 Coin Memories – Can Learn 6 Coins.

Accessed Via Rotary Switch Sw2 – Positions 1 - 6.

To Learn A Coin:

1. Turn Sw-2 To One Of Positions 1-6 To Learn.

2. Press Button Sw-1 Once To Start Learn Sequence.

3. Drop 6 Sample Coins Through The Xeptor.

4. LED Flashes Red/Green When Complete.

5. Turn Sw-2 Back To Position 0 – Run Mode.

To Erase A Coin:

1. Turn Sw-2 To One Of Positions 1-6 To Erase.

2. Press Button Sw-1 Once To Start Erase Sequence.

3. Drop NO Sample Coins Through The Xeptor.

4. Turn Sw-2 Back To Position 0 – Run Mode.

5. LED Flashes Red/Green To Indicate Erase Complete.



What is the purpose of using 6 coin samples?

Answer: Variations exist from coin-to-coin. Variations exist from reading-to-reading. Therefore, a few samples allow the Xeptor to find the average and

the distribution for each sensor reading to create the optimum value and tolerance for each coin signature parameter.

Master Tech Question 2:What Is The Purpose Of Having 6 Coin Memories?

Answer: Not all coins or tokens that look alike are alike:

- Canada has 2 quarters, 2 dimes and 3 nickels.- A second purchase of tokens is not always identical.

In order to accept all, each variation must be programmed.(Note: You can use HyperTerminal to see if you have variations in your coins)

You have an Xeptor in a machine that stops working. What is your short list of things to check…..

1. 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.

It is Sick… Turn Sw2 through positions 7 – F to determine the fault.

Check Sw2=0, check for wire harness pulling unit open, check coin programming.
