Company History
IDX was founded in 1987 with
the vision of bringing an optically encoded token and acceptor to
market to eliminate counterfeiting and unwanted cross play of other
tokens. IDX started
its business in the carwash industry with the model MA711 optically encoded token acceptor
for our 0.984" injection molded polycarbonate prismatic facet tokens.
For the first time, the car wash market had the ability to eliminate
acceptance of tokens from other near by establishments. The BigTime
scrolling display timer, hinged door meter boxes, and the industries
most durable vacuum timer were introduced soon thereafter.
In 1994, IDX formally ventured into the
casino gaming market by meeting with major OEMs and casinos to
determine the specific requirements for coin acceptors and tokens for
their industry, which resulted in the design and development of the model
X-10 Xeptor and the X-Mark optically encoded tokens. IDX selected and
exclusively licensed Osborne Coinage as a partner to mint and market
the X-Mark tokens for use with the X-10 Xeptor. The X-Mark security
tokens and Xeptors quickly became the de facto standard means of
eliminating counterfeits and cross-play after their 1998 formal market
introduction. Today, it is mandated in both Nevada and New Jersey
gaming regulations for the highest value tokens.
In 2005, IDX developed its RFID based Wickets technology as an
alternate non-contact payment system for use in the casino, carwash,
and laundry markets. The TableTracker system for casino table games
was developed to integrate Wicket Readers directly into the surface of
the gaming table and provide communication between the table game and
a remote account based gaming server to enable patrons to quickly
credit or debit their gaming accounts electronically at the table. In
2007 our Stored Value Wicket technology was introduced for carwashes
and laundries without central servers where a Wicket Reader on the
equipment directly debits value from encrypted account memory on the
Wicket itself, and then produces 'coin pulses' to activate the
equipment.
