Interface Type – Aristocrat
Redeem Tender – Select the Tender that you created for Points.
Username – POSCON
Password – POSCON unless otherwise specified.

Enter POSCON or enter the value requested/required by Aristocrat.

Go to Setup > Global Options > Gaming > Gaming Points.
Gaming Points
Configure each of the account types used for the gaming interface.
Ensure that you place a tick into the Enable option next to each account type that is configured.
When the "Combine Accounts into one Redeemable Total" checkbox is enabled, the Gaming Points accounts will be combined into one redeemable total.
When multiple points balances are configured for redemption within Idealpos and the Combine Accounts into one Redeemable Total is ticked, Idealpos will display the points as one total at the top of the POS Screen when added to the sale.
Then when a redemption occurs, a prompt to select the points account is not displayed.
The system will draw from the POS Points first, with the remainder points being pulled from the Gaming Points if there are insufficient POS points available.
Aristocrat allows for Customers to be rated using the Member Analysis that has been pre-defined with the Aristocrat software.
The ‘Description’ given for each rating must match what is set in the Aristocrat software.
A button can be used when using a Standalone system to lookup a machine through the POS to see the membership details of the person sitting at that machine.
Go to Setup > POS Screen > POS Screen Setup > Layouts > Buttons > Machine Lookup.
When pressed on the POS Screen a ‘Get Machine Number’ window will open.
Enter the machine number into the field and press Enter.
The details of the member sitting at that machine will be displayed on the POS Screen.
To be able to use this option you need to ensure you have an Aristocrat Gaming Licence on the terminal, and can receive orders from an S7000. Aristocrat will need to specify the IP Address and Port of the terminal receiving the orders.
On the POS Terminal that receives the orders go to Setup > POS Terminals > Modify > Miscellaneous Options > Gaming Override Options:
Save and restart Idealpos.
When an order is sent it will be processed as a standard transaction and saved into the journal.
Any items that are configured to print will print to any kitchen and IKM printers.
