Semnox just keeps winning awards. This years 2nd place award was given for their groundbreaking new reader; the LuminOS.
Have you ever watched your guests swipe or tap multiple times, only to get frustrated that they have to do it over and over. Or how about the wait time the guest has between tapping, playing, and then tapping again. With the new LuminOS, this is no longer an issue. With its latest technology, Semnox now offers the guest the option to choose how many games they want to play. To take this up a notch, the LuminOS also has a card slot, where the guest can leave their card in the reader and the game will continue to "replay" after it prompts the guest for balance deduction. And this is just the highlights of the new reader. To learn more about the advances, read the release below or contact Semnox today.

2nd Place Winner - IAAPA Brass Ring Exhibitor Awards: Best New Product (Services,

With family entertainment centres gearing up for a massive shift to cashless and

higher. With LuminOS supporting multi-game play and variable costing, users can not only
play without having to tap the card each time, but also be able to take the advantage of
lower pricing for higher game plays.

go and Repeat Play allowing guests to play again without having to tap the card each
time. Initial data shows
2. Variable pricing – Allows the operators to make guests spend more by enticing them
with discounts for a greater number of plays. That is, if 1 play costs 1 USD, 2 plays on
a single selection can be set at discounted price say at 1.5USD and so on. This
entices customers to spend more seeing the value for higher spends.

playing. The reader prompts for balance deduction as long as the card is in the slot.
