Debit card system specialist Sacoa of Argentina has introduced the ColorShot swiper and display unit, which provides guests with attractive visual cues indicating specific events and promotions.

The translucent housing encloses an array of high intensity LEDs which can be commanded to show static hues, marquee-like animations, fade in, fade out and crawling rainbow effects. This allows for a vast array of uses. Games may be colour-coded according to promotional discounts and age group recommendation.

E-ticket output and counting may be enhanced by flashing lights and out of order games can be flagged in red. Sacoa says that current users of the system will be offered special discounts for upgrading their swipers at the company’s booth at the upcoming trade shows AMOA/Fun Expo and IAAPA.
