The OMR 19E and OMR 23E are the world’s most widely used readers for machine processing of betting slips in betting shops. Both at the counter and at the terminal.

Tipico has advertising partnerships with Oliver Kahn as well as FC Bayern München, RB Leipzig, the German Soccer League and ARD Sportschau.

Initial situation:
A big brother for the classic betting slip reader

At a Tipico sales point there are several ways to place a bet, among these, at the counter or at a terminal. At the counter the person placing the bet first of all marks the outcome of the event that he predicts on a betting slip. The slip is then read manually by an optical mark document reader and evaluated. Then the better pays and receives a receipt.

At the counter Tipico employs the DATAWIN OMR 19E. The device is regarded as a classic in the betting sector, it is in use a thousand times over world-wide and is esteemed because of its great recording and operating reliability.

Project aims:
Development of a betting slip reader for integration in terminals

Development of an OMR document reader for integration in terminals. Software, interfaces and documents of the terminal devices are to be adapted to correspond to the proven counter devices (DATAWIN OMR 19E), in order to simplify the handling of the bets for the partners, betting customers and employees. The slot readers are to operate just as reliably respecting recording and as disturbance-free as the DATAWIN counter devices.

Project description:
The OMR 23E becomes an instant classic in the betting office

DATAWIN designs, develops and manufactures the built-in device DATAWIN OMR 23E. The built-in optical mark reader is exactly aligned to the dimensions of the Tipico terminals and 100% compatible to the DATAWIN OMR 19E counter mark reader. Up to now a total of about 300 specimens of the DATAWIN OMR 23E have been delivered to Booxware and integrated into the terminals on site.
