Next week’s big IAAPA trade show in Orlando, Florida, US, will see debit card company Sacoa celebrating 25 years of its Playcard system in the amusements sector.

Playcard turns 25

Although it celebrates a quarter century in the debit card business, this year the company hit the 60-year mark in terms of overall industry involvement – it has a string of FECs in Argentina.

The company will show a new Flexi-Reader 3-in-1 version of its Color Shot HDT RF that offers three features to be used with magnetic stripe cards or RFID: swipe, insert or tap.

In recent years, Sacoa has targeted North American FECs and in 2017 has a string of successes to its name, including Pinstack’s Las Colinas and Allen locations in Texas; Adventureland Amusement Park in Farmingdale, New York; Sam's Fun City in Pensacola, Florida; Atoka Railroad Adventure in Tennessee; Game On in Geneva, Ohio; Ed's Funcade in Wildwood  New Jersey; Laser One in New Jersey; Primetime´s Outer Limitz, Ka Ko Jo's locations in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Greeley Connecticut; Play & Spin in Niles. Illinois; Wild Island in Reno, Nevada; Anchor Lanes and Royal Z Lanes in South Carolina; Sussex Bowl in Sussex, Wisconsin; and Out of the Park Pizza in Anaheim, California, just to mention some of the US locations.

Internationally, the US-Argentina-based company deployed its Playcard system in several locations in Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Uruguay, Canada, Australia, Spain, the Netherlands, Turkey, Kuwait, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
