ROLLER + Amusement Connect integration

The Amusement Connect integration is a cloud-based solution that allows guests to buy and manage their cashless game cards directly from ROLLER, eliminating the need for multiple systems. The integration ensures that data between Amusement Connect and ROLLER is synced, providing accurate and up-to-date information.

When to use

Use the Amusement Connect integration to streamline your arcade management processes and consolidate your cashless card management systems.

• Your guests benefit from using cashless cards for arcade games and attractions, enjoying seamless purchase options online and at POS, convenient pay-to-play options, and easy balance checks and top-ups.
• Cashless cards provide improved security by reducing the need for cash, offer faster transactions and allow for better tracking of balances and spending.

What you can do

Here are some key features of our integration with Amusement Connect. 

• Purchase game card cash and time values: Guests can buy game card values for cash or time from a ROLLER online checkout or at a ROLLER POS station.
• Assign values to RFID cards at POS: Staff can assign the cash or time values purchased to Amusement Connect supported RFID cards by entering the card's ID number or scanning its barcode at POS.
• Cash and time top-ups: Guests can top up both cash and time at ROLLER POS stations. While cash top ups show up at POS, time top ups won't update. This is because the Amusement Connect system does not show the additional time until the initial time has expired. 
• Purchases with cashless cards: Guests can use the cash values on cashless cards for purchasing your venue tickets, food, beverage and merchandise from ROLLER POS.
• Revenue tracking: All transactions are tracked and recorded in ROLLER, providing valuable insights into revenue performance.

Sell an Amusement Connect card via ROLLER's online checkout

Sometimes your guests want to get straight to the action—no waiting, no hassle. Whether they’re buying a card on its own, as part of a package deal, or as an add-on, ROLLER’s online checkout makes it easy for them to pre-purchase an Amusement Connect card.

Create, sell and manage cashless card products

Once you've set up the integration, follow these steps to create, sell and manage cashless card products at your venue.

1. Create your cashless card products in Venue Manager
   Create cashless card products with cash or time value variations in Venue Manager. Refer to the guide Create and manage cashless cards.
   
   
2. Add your cashless cards to your sales channels
   Add the product in ROLLER to an online checkout and/or POS menus for the POS devices you want to sell them from in venue. You can also add them as bundled items with party packages or optional upsell items for products purchased online.
   
   
3. Assign the card ID at POS
   When guests redeem online purchases or buy cashless cards at POS, assign them a physical card ID (eg Amusement Connect RFID). Guests can then easily swipe their cards at arcade games at your venue. Refer to the guide Sell and manage cashless cards 
   
   
4. Top up cards at POS
   Guests can easily top up cards at POS terminals throughout your venue. They can also balance check cash balances. When time balances are topped up, the new balance won't show up at POS as the Amusement Connect system only shows time balances once the initial balance has expired. Refer to the guide Sell and manage cashless cards
