Elaut Cardset Kiosk

A player feeds a collection card into the slot. Tickets dispense. The top screen cycles through venue promotions the whole time.

Overview

The Elaut Cardset Kiosk is a self-service redemption station that converts collection cards and plastic tokens into tickets, processing transactions without staff involvement. It accepts both barcode and RFID cards, and the top screen runs operator-configured digital advertising while the kiosk is in use. The cabinet is fitted with an LED lighting array that makes it visible across the floor of a busy venue.

Key Features

Dual Card Format Acceptance

The kiosk reads both standard barcode collection cards and RFID cards. RFID cards carry encrypted data that barcode cards cannot replicate, which tightens the card validation chain from game to kiosk to prize counter.

Operator-Configurable Top Screen Advertising

The top screen displays operator-loaded content during idle and active states. Usable content includes collector card set promotions, local business advertisements, and venue-specific announcements. Elaut provides the tools to upload and manage this content directly on the unit.

LED Light Array

The cabinet’s LED lighting is integrated into the exterior design and functions as a locator beacon on the venue floor. The light output is visible from across the room, directing players toward the redemption station without signage.

Accounting and Anti-Pilferage Logging

Each card transaction is logged by the kiosk, creating a machine-level record of every exchange. This record can be checked against prize shop inventory to identify discrepancies between cards processed and tickets or prizes dispensed.

Plastic Token Compatibility

Beyond cards, the kiosk accepts plastic tokens for ticket exchange. Venues that distribute physical tokens as part of their card collection game ecosystem can route those tokens through the same kiosk without a separate redemption station.

How It Plays

The player brings their earned collection cards or plastic tokens to the kiosk and feeds them in. The unit reads each card — barcode or RFID — validates the value, and dispenses the corresponding ticket count automatically. From the prize shop counter, staff see a completed transaction record rather than a queue of players waiting for manual card counting.

Why Operators Love It

Self-Service Operation Frees Prize Counter Staff

Card-to-ticket exchange is handled entirely by the kiosk. Staff at the prize shop are not occupied counting cards or manually tallying values — the machine processes the transaction and produces a ticket output the player carries to redemption.

Top Screen Runs Venue Promotions Continuously

The advertising screen at the top of the cabinet displays operator-uploaded content during all operating hours — idle, active, or between transactions. This creates a second use for the kiosk’s floor presence beyond ticket redemption.

Machine-Level Transaction Log for Accountability

Every card and token processed is recorded internally. Operators can cross-reference kiosk logs against ticket inventory to detect accounting discrepancies — a check that is not available when card redemption is handled manually at the counter.

RFID Support Adds a Validation Layer Over Barcode-Only Systems

Venues that upgrade their card games to RFID-enabled cards can route those cards through this kiosk. RFID authentication is handled at the machine level, providing a credential check that printed barcode cards cannot offer.

Ideal Placement

Best suited for family entertainment centers, indoor amusement parks, and arcades that operate a collector card game program. Position near the prize redemption counter or at the exit of the main game floor where players naturally carry cards and tokens after their games.
