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. IDX started its business with numerous products for the car wash market; including the model MA711 optically encoded token and quarter acceptor which utilized 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.

In 1994, IDX formally ventured into the casino gaming market by meeting with major OEMs and casinos to determine the specific needs and wants of the industry. From these meetings and follow on design reviews with the same group, the model X-10 Xeptor and X-Mark token code were developed. IDX selected and exclusively licensed Osborne Coinage as a partner to mint and market the X-Mark tokens. The X-10 Xeptor was introduced in 1997. Since then the company as introduced many other coin acceptors and added numerous features related to security.

IDX is an aggressive privately held company without corporate molasses, focused on customer service before and after the sale. Product engineering uses modern computer aided design tools. IDX holds dominant US & foreign optical encoded token/acceptor patents, and has other patents pending. The X-10 and X-50 Xeptors are approved throughout North America by gaming boards and agencies, and in many foreign countries, and have become the standard coin acceptor for production by many important slot machine manufacturers. Our built-in-test software, established written quality standards, and specially designed test equipment for both the IDX Xeptors and the minted X-Mark tokens ensures a reliable system in the field, first time - every time, and is fundamentally what sets us apart from the competition.
