An ATM (also called Cash Machine in RCT2) is a stall guests use if they run low on funds. These are very useful in pay-per-ride parks, as they allow guests to get more money to spend in a park, rather than leaving once they have spent the money they brought with them. Plus, they allow the player to raise the ride's admission fees and make their profits.

The overall use of the A.T.M. depends on the type of park : they will be useful near any expensive ride's entrance in pay-per-ride parks, while in pay-per-entry parks, they will have more use near a foodcourt or near the park's entrance.

If, however, A.T.M. are not present, guests who have spent their money will see no point in staying in the park and will return home, which can impact, if not prevent, the scenario's success.

The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 ATM

Trivia

In RCT3, if you look closely at the ATM's medallion, you can see that there is a very early RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 logo from around late 2003 to early 2004.
Much like the First Aid Room, the ATM in RCT3 is accessible from all sides at once, while in RCT2 it was only accessible from one side. Several people, however, can come and refill their wallets at once in both games.
The A.T.M. wasn't available in Roller Coaster Tycoon 1, which made any scenario quite complicated since guests had a very limited time of presence in a park.
