Summarize with

Paladin Amusements has installed 100 of Intercard's Impulse Plus readers across its mobile game trucks in New Jersey, according to a press release. The kiosk-free readers accept credit cards and game cards, allowing customers to pay at individual attractions rather than finding cash or waiting at a central payment station.

The readers connect to Intercard's cloud-based management system through cellular service, helping Paladin relocate and set up its trucks at different venues. Paladin partner Marc McDonald said the technology has simplified credit card and contactless payments while allowing guests to begin playing more quickly.

Founded in New Jersey in 1987, Paladin provides amusement games and rides for carnivals, nonprofit fundraisers, corporate events, private parties and other gatherings.
