Debit Card

At the heart of our system lies the cashless payment features which are more commonly known in the industry as a debit card or simply a "card system." The Embed System can replace traditional methods of transaction like tokens, coins, and admission tickets with a simple card. Guests use a plastic card, similar to a credit card, to make all of their transactions which leads to a much more simplified and more enjoyable experience. Owners benefit from the endless marketing and pricing opportunities that become available, while at the same time contain operating costs and improve cash control.

Guests purchase cards from either a staffed Point of Sale Station or a Self-Service Kiosk. These cards are customized for each location and become a souvenir as well as a constant reminder of the good times had at your location. The cards can be loaded with any amount, encouraging guests to "Load & Go" so they can enjoy all points of fun offered at the location. To play, the guest swipes their card through the reader attached to each game and attraction. The appropriate value or privilege is deducted, allowing the game to start or access to be granted. Upon swiping, the remaining card balance is displayed for added convenience. Guests can reload their play card with additional credit at any sales terminal or kiosk at any time.

Why a Card System


Hardware that Performs

Color-Glo Swiper

The Award Winning Color-Glo Swiper. It's a whole new way to play! As the first and only color-changing debit card reader, Embed's Color-Glo Swiper allows operators to choose and change the colors of the card readers on their games and attractions. The vibrant colors and special effects are used to quickly and easily identify game types as well as any special pricing or promotions that may be available. But the fun doesn't stop there. Color-Glo actually interacts with the guest when the play card is swiped, providing visual indication that they were successful. Color-Glo was awarded with the prestigious Impact Award by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions. This award is the highest honor given for an industry product.


 

Self Service Stations

From card dispensing kiosks, to recharge only stations, to guest registration terminals, Embed offers a full line of self-service equipment designed for facilities of varying size and scope.

At the forefront of the self-service line, the Embed Full Service Kiosk allows for unattended sales and reloads of cards and is engineered for the rugged environment which it serves. In addition, guests can view play history and card balances as well as register their card for protection against card loss or theft. This unit can be configured to accept coin, currency and credit cards as acceptable forms of payment. An integrated illuminated light box is standard and offers a highly visible location in which to display package and promotion information.

 

Embed Wireless

Say goodbye to the endless array of data cable and say hello to Embed Wireless. And when we say wireless, we mean true, long range radio based communication and not store bought wi-fi equipment. Embed's wireless communication system for games and attractions is a cost effective and flexible way to connect your readers back to the central system server. Approved for both indoor and outdoor use, Embed Wireless offers superior range, is FCC certified, and features built-in redundancy for maximum system performance.

Electronic Ticket Interface (ETI)

Exclusive to Embed, the ETI is used when the site elects to eliminate paper tickets dispensing from their redemption games. This optional device can be attached to each ticket redemption game to monitor awarded tickets paid out to the guest. The "electronic" tickets are added directly to the guest's card. The ETI emulates a standard ticket dispenser and incorporates a large format ultra bright LED display with scrolling text, animations, real-time ticket counter and audible device. At Embed, we know that re-creating the theatre of winning is critical to successful electronic ticket operation.

Consult your Embed Representative to discuss how electronic tickets may work for your facility.

Embed wins Best New Product & prestigious Impact Award at IAAPA 2006

"The Embed system has been a real asset to our facility. The setup and installation of the cardswipe units on the games and the wireless system throughout our facility was much easier than other systems I have used. The Embed staff did a fantastic job, and made sure everything was ready for our opening and was working without a hitch."

"The Color-Glo card readers make the Embed system unique. They are very attractive, and our guests, especially our younger guests, are better able to use this card system because of the feedback they get from the cardswipe units. We have been operating for 6 months and have found the cardswipe units to be very dependable."

"Overall the Embed card system has been great. It is flexable enough to meet our needs and our customers needs, and gives us the security and information we need to help us operate ourfacility better." Brian Smith
