Hospitality and Family Entertainment Industries' Demand
Continues to Grow
for cStar Technologies' SkyGate® Direct-to-Game
Contactless and Cashless Payment Solution
Toronto, ON - January 15, 2011 -
cStar Technologies Inc., a leader in two-way wireless
data communications solutions for M2M
(machine-to-machine, machine-to-men) and mobile-commerce
applications, confirms the successful addition of
SkyGate® Direct-to-Game Contactless and Cashless Payment
Solution to its award winning Hospitality Genie™
Solution.
Since its successful market deployment in the
spring of 2010, Hospitality/Family Entertainment
operators have been enjoying the compelling benefits of
cStar's SkyGate® Direct-to-Game Contactless and
Cashless Payment Solution - providing reliable and
trouble-free guest centric services, increased revenues,
and decreased operating expenses - with completely
cashless/token-less entertainment experience using RFID
or magnetic stripe media from wristbands to fobs to
cards.
President and CEO of cStar Technologies, Stella Yoon
said, "With the addition of SkyGate® Direct-to-Game
Contactless and Cashless Payment Solution to cStar's
Hospitality Genie™ Solution, Hospitality/Family
Entertainment operators now have the flexibility to
offer a completely cashless/token-less entertainment
experience to all of their unattended points-of-sale
such as arcade games, vending machines (coffee, soda,
snack, ice cream, souvenirs, etc.), lockers, parking,
etc. The beauty of our Hospitality Genie™ Solution
is that one powerful and versatile server handles all
unattended points-of-sale instead of several servers,
one for each point-of-sale stream.
In addition, thirteen-plus years of trouble-free
operations, backed by our powerful wireless Local Area
Network, allow our clients to benefit from reliable
wireless coverage throughout their property without the
problems associated with cellular signal dead zones and
the added costs of cellular airtime charges."
Guests enjoy the convenience of being able to play their
games without leaving machines to purchase more tokens.
Guests simply tap or wave their RFID contactless card or
wristband, or swipe their magnetic stripe card to enjoy
game play and have payment for games billed directly to
their guest billing account or to a prepaid
(stored-value) account.
With cStar's Hospitality Genie™ Solution with
the
SkyGate®
suite of products, Hospitality and Family Entertainment
Center/Arcade operators now have the convenience and
flexibility to provide a variety of cashless payment
options for the benefit of their patrons while
increasing their revenues and profits, and are
converting traditional token-operated games to cStar's
SkyGate® Direct-to-Game Contactless and Cashless Payment
Solution.
