The Parafait Series: Understanding Parafait
So what is Parafait? How does it work? This post answers these 2 questions.
An FEC typically has various game machines and kiddy rides that come factory fitted with Token (coin) machines. An FEC customer buys Tokens (or coins) and plays the games by inserting tokens into the token machine. Token control for game machines have the following disadvantages:
a) The customer has to carry tokens around, which could be cumbersome
b) Customer may hesitate to buy additional tokens
c) FEC owner will not have any record of game plays and thus will not be able to run any customer loyalty programs. It is a lose-lose situation for both FEC owners and customers
d) The chances of pilferage and mis-use are high
It has been proven through research, and practical experience that card based game control can overcome all these disadvantages. The card based game management could increase collections by up to 30% and the FEC owner will have an accurate picture of his/her collections. Further, the FEC owner could design programs that can increase customer loyalty. Additionally, the revenue leakage due to pilferage and mis-use could be brought totally under control.
Parafait is a wireless card based game control system that has rich features and priced reasonably. Parafait uses RFID cards and card readers, which are robust and technically superior to the traditional magnetic cards. The diagram below depicts the various components of the Parafait wireless card system.
While installing Parafait, the coin machines in each of the game terminals are over-ridden with the card reader / wireless controller units. Data from and to the game terminals are controlled by the wireless hub. The wireless hub is in turn connected to the Parafait Server and the database. Parafait comes with rich touch screen based Point of Sale (POS) application and Redemption module. The FEC owner also has the option to integrate Biometric access controls into the POS and Redemption modules. Further, the FEC owner can view his collections and game details on a real time basis using the internet reporting feature.
In our next post, we will walk you through the Parafait feature list and benefits of using Parafait. So long…
