Scratcher Dispenser Security Scratcher theft continues to plague retailers and lotteries. Thieves create a distraction while a counterpart removes the ticket dispenser and runs out the door. In other instances, thieves access the rear of the counter and remove tickets from the in-counter dispenser bins. Does this sound familiar?
Did You Know that Take-A-Ticket has developed solutions to address theft concerns for both in-counter and encounter dispensers?
In collaboration with the California Lottery, Washington’s Lottery and the Oregon Lottery, Take-A-Ticket developed a security feature to deter theft for their in-counter dispensers,” according to Seth Tigner, Take-A-Ticket President.
“With new ICM dispensers and with minor modifications to existing 12 to 32 game in-counter ICM dispensers, a locking security cover (see photos below) is added and slides down over the clerk side of the dispenser. This can quickly secure tickets when the clerk steps away from the counter, or for securing tickets when the store is closed,” explains Seth Tigner, Take-A-Ticket President.
To provide additional security for on-counter dispensers, Take-A-Ticket developed an aluminum powder coated security strap (see photo left) that secures the on-counter dispenser to the countertop. The security strap provides an additional layer of security by preventing thieves from removing the dispenser from the counter. The security strap can be customized to add full color and include full color logos for your lottery.
