On ticket redemption machines, the gap is almost entirely in PCB firmware stability and ticket-counting accuracy. A cheap board jams and miscounts — and a miscount is a customer complaint, every single time.
Jam rate — under 0.5% is the professional standard. Ticket count accuracy — audit it yourself during factory acceptance. Remote firmware updates — if the board cannot be updated over the air, your operator is stuck with day-one bugs forever.
Ticket redemption machines are not bought on price — they are bought on jam rate and count accuracy. What fails most often in your units? Comment below and I will tell you if it is a hardware or a firmware problem.
