Acres Gaming products are
used in casinos worldwide. Highly crafted management tools and creative
merchandising themes are essential aspects for staying in the gaming market.
If you are new to the gaming
industry, you might find yourself a bit confused. What types of data are
collected? What is slot merchandising?
Acres Gaming started with
a patented and licensed technology to collect play data from slot machines.
We call it Concept
III.
This enables the casino to track profits, automate payment, account for
bonusing programs, monitor jackpot sharing, and track how customers play
and are rewarded.
Reel
Money
A common casino promotion
is to give out money to players for different events. This money is used
to entice the players to come to the casino and play. Acres Bonusing Technology,
using its innovative Concept III system, provides players with this incentive
without the money issuing problems and liability for the casino.
Reel Money is a promotion
allowing casinos to give money to a customer, in the form of a player tracking
card, and the customer can use that money on any of the participating machines
in the casino. The casino determines how much money is available to each
customer. There may be a limit placed on the amount of time the Reel Money
is available. In addition, because Reel Money requires the
customer to use a player tracking card, valuable play data can be collected.
To utilize Reel Money,
the customer takes their player tracking card and inserts it into a card
reader on a slot machine. The system checks to see if this customer is
eligible for Reel Money and that the time qualifications are met. If the
customer qualifies for Reel Money, then the balance is displayed to the
customer using the player tracking vacuum fluorescent display (VFD). As
the customer uses the credits, the Reel Money amount is changed accordingly.
Match
Play
Another common casino promotion
is to provide each player with a certain amount of matching funds to encourage
play. For example, a customer might present a coupon and $20 to receive
an extra $20. Concept III technology provides this option. Only after customers
bet their own money is match play allowed. The casino determines how much
money is available to each customer.
The Match Play award can
be a one-time award or an award for each time the player reaches a specified
amount of play. Time restraints can be used to limit the amount of time
the match play credits are available. In addition, Match Play requires
the customer to use a player tracking card, providing valuable play data.
