Gaming Facts

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.

DiceReel 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 theSlot Machines w/ Card Readers 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.

More DiceMatch 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.

To utilize Match Play, 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 Match Play and the time qualifications are met.
