Boardwalk Casino and Island Breeze Casino arcades on the Sea Isle boardwalk in New Jersey recently improved sales by adding a card-based offering to customers, according to a press release.
The Kiska family, which owns and operates the arcades, wanted to maintain a traditional atmosphere with a token-based revenue system, but they realized cards provide an important option.
"We didn't realize how many sales we were missing because we were a cash-only facility," Ryan Kiska, owner of Boardwalk Casino, said in the press release.
The Parafait system from Semnox Solutions includes RFID-based debit card systems, the LuminOS reader for "tap-to-play" functionality, POS and redemption systems and on-demand roaming between the Boardwalk Casino location and Island Breeze Casino location for cross-venue play and upsell options.
With most of their indoor arcade currently on card readers, the arcades increased their gross sales and have noticed a shift in consumer behavior.
The Parafait system tracks game usage and can alert staff when a game needs maintenance.
