Benjamin Rejection

#1

Greetings

I asked for a 400 dollar marker at the Borgata. They gave me 4 one hundred dollars bills. Two of these bills were rejected by the VP machine. They were also rejected by the change machine. I did not want to go back to the cashier for different bills. I waited a rather long time till an attendant gave me replacements. Why do you think that the machines are not programmed by this time to accept all the newer bills...and why does the cashier not give you ALL playable bills in the first place. Is this too much to ask?

I've been having more and more trouble with certain 20's and 100's at the
Borgata. It must be the newer validators, because those same bills were
accepted on much older machines at the Borgata.

i agree that the cage and the bill breaker machines should only give "playable" bills.

but i'm pretty darn sure that the bill validators and bill breaker machines have been retrofitted to accept "new" bills. in my experience, the problem has been that the bills they give you are often so worn that the machine won't recognize them as legitimate. they have creases down the middle or are significantly faded or have holes in them, as if they've been chewed up previously by an uncooperative bill validator.

i think THAT may be the real problem, not that the bill validator doesn't recognize the new bills.

just curious, ralph... do you regularly take a marker for $400?

Some machines just seem to be pickier than others. I heard a story
somewhere that there is something about 2006 series bills that causes
some acceptors not to take them. Since then, if I have a machine that
takes a lot of bills, but mysteriously rejects a crisp one, it seems
like it's almost always a 2006 one. But I'm not obsessively keeping
records on this sort of thing :slight_smile: so it could be selective memory;
draw your own conclusions...
