Performance Tracking – The ability to remotely track earnings as well as tickets and merchandise dispensed for all games across all locations. Operator Portal Access – An intuitive platform that allows operators to manage their games and devices; view earnings, payout and field collection reports; receive maintenance alerts; and track and solve service issues with an integrated service ticket system. Automatic Notifications – Alerts can be received as text messages, push notifications, emails or in-app notifications when a game’s prizes are low, games haven’t been played for a specified amount of time and more. Field Collection Reports – Supervise the field collection process and analyze results. Route Oversight – Map out which locations need to be serviced in the order that makes most sense. Asset Management – Track the lifetime value of each owned game. Cashless Payment – The ability to utilize RFID “tap to pay”, card swipe, EMV and QR code payment technology instead of cash, coins and tokens. E-Ticket Support – Virtual tickets saved on Player Cards replace the need for physical tickets. Player Loyalty – With a unique code associated to each Player Card, operators have the capability to track individual customer activity and create a player loyalty program that encourages repeat visits. Customizable Devices – The devices’ screens can be rebranded to match the look and feel of each location. Legacy Equipment Compatibility – Technology can be implemented with all existing and newly-manufactured games. Game Connect - Via an open API available to amusement manufacturers, Game Connect provides the following advanced features to operators: adjust game settings remotely to eliminate unnecessary location visits; and track players’ scores and achievements to nurture competition with high-score leaderboards, tournaments and leagues.
