Glossary

The words below are the words of the screens. The French version is the reference; the EN column gives the fixed translation, the one used in the English version of this documentation.

Your venue's words may differ

A venue can rename some register labels (for example “Geler” (Freeze) to “Bloquer” (Block), “Grand livre” (Ledger) to another title). This documentation uses the default labels. Your venue’s words are set in the back office: Register wording and receipts.

Words we do not use

We write	And never
manual payment	handpay
counter payout	cash-out
withdrawal	cashout
device	SMIB

A screen label may keep an English word: the notification for a withdrawal requested by the player with the button on their machine is called “Cash-out joueur” (Player cash-out).

Negative amounts

A negative amount is written with the minus sign: −777,000 Ar, in red on the back office screen and in documents (PDF, Excel). A venue may prefer the accounting style in brackets, “(777,000)”: setting Montants négatifs : écriture (Negative amounts: style) in the back office. The figure does not change, only the way it is written; printed receipts keep the dash.
