On the eve of the 2018 DEAL show, debit card technology firm Intercard has completed installations for Robert's Group, one of its top clients in the Middle East.
Funscape Lebanon is a new 3,600sq.m FEC that opened in December 2017 in the Beirut Business Centre, an office, retail and entertainment complex in Beirut. Robert's Group designed the FEC, supplied all the equipment, trained the operations staff and will maintain the equipment. The project was completed in four months.
Funscape uses Intercard's debit card system as well as the iGuardian system that pairs a child with their guardian and monitors their activity for greater safety and security while visiting the centre.
In Africa, Império Kids is a new 1,200sq.m FEC set up by Robert's Group in the popular Belas Shopping Mall in Luanda, Angola. It features a 45-game arcade with an automatic prize redemption centre, a trampoline zone and a playground. Belas is the first modern shopping mall in Angola.
"Robert's Group is one of the leading amusement providers in the Middle East and Africa and we have partnered with them for many years," said Alberto Borrero, Intercard's senior vice-president of international sales. "All of its locations use Intercard's readers, kiosks and redemption control products."
