Fujitsu’s cashless betting machines use palm vein authentication to support Japan Racing Organization — Fujitsu — “The betting machines will allow users to place bets without using cash by simply holding their hands out to the machine and using their JRA-Umaca contactless membership card… The purchase information is recorded on the JRA-Umaca card making it unnecessary to print a paper betting ticket, and if they make an accurate prediction, winnings will be paid out to the JRA-Umaca card automatically.”
Fujitsu has developed biometric betting machines for the Tokyo Racecourse to help make the betting process contactless and reduce paper waste. The company is also working with a number of other companies on developing new ways to use biometrics in order to improve customer experience. The purchase information is stored on the card and winnings can be automatically paid out to the card.
