Idealpos supports multiple gaming interfaces with various companies that allow for member details and points to be accrued and redeemed through the Point of Sale software.
The member can then be rewarded for their loyalty to the business from food, beverage and gaming.
There are currently eight different interfaces that are supported which are Aristocrat, eBet, Flexi-NET, IGT, Konami, Max Gaming, Maxetag and Titan.
Each company is different and requires specific settings to work, some of which will need to be provided by the company of the interface that is being configured.
Before Idealpos will be able to communicate with any gaming software, you will be required to purchase the correct licence for each terminal that requires the link.
Idealpos and gaming communications will not operate on terminals without this module correctly licensed.
Contact Idealpos to purchase a Gaming Interface License.
