Casino gaming and loyalty program kiosks are having a recognizable economic impact by providing winning solutions for gaming and entertainment businesses across a variety of niches, especially for player loyalty, ticketing and advertising functions.
Casino loyalty program kiosk systems are low-maintenance, high-ROI profit centers. They reduce overhead costs, create a more efficient player experience, and help to keep players fully engaged.
Today’s gaming kiosk designs offer a wide range of functions, from player loyalty and enrollment applications to redemption transactions. Olea’s casino gaming kiosk systems are flexible and customizable to meet the needs of all casino gaming platforms and business models.
Casino gaming and loyalty program kiosks
The use of casino gaming and loyalty kiosk systems is increasing rapidly, and is already having a noticeable economic impact in the brick-and-mortar gaming industry. Well-known casinos including Sands, Caesars, Hard Rock, Empire, RIO, and Riviera use kiosks to boost enrollment in their loyalty programs.
One of the key features of casino kiosks is the ability to provide guests with access to information about their player loyalty points, current special offers, and other incentives which all enhance the gaming experience, increase player loyalty, and in the end, generate more revenue for the casino.
One particularly important economic impact of casino loyalty program kiosks is in their ability to draw and hold loyal, long-term customers. Surveys have shown that players enrolled in loyalty programs spend more than the non-loyalty-program players. In addition, loyalty program members are 58%-76% more likely to return to a casino than non-members.
By enabling players to create and manage their own loyalty program accounts, casino kiosks can allow a casino to streamline their staffing requirements. Furthermore, these kiosks provide revenue-generating opportunities through the on-screen and on-device advertising options. Additionally, the ease-of-use of a loyalty program kiosk ensures greater enrollment in the loyalty program, which translates into more return visits and greater long-term revenue for the casino.
