The Bepoz 4.6.0 Version Release includes some changes/enhancements to the pre-existing Konami Interface which are discussed here.

Prerequisites 

N/A

Konami v1.0

  • For some background, Bepoz had a pre-existing integration Konami, the Casino Management System
    • This integration allows for Member Points:
      • Earning
      • Redemption
      • Tiering
      • Vouchering
    • This integration will then comprise the majority of the loyalty database that resides in Bepoz for the purposes of Reporting, Bepoz Vouchering, Prize Rewards, etc.
  • Bepoz communicates to Konami via their Rest API using CALink (a gateway which controls all of the communications between Bepoz and CMS)
    • This utilizes multiple API calls to support the functionality

CALink Vouchers

  • Through the CALink, support has been added for bringing Konami Vouchers across to Bepoz which can be Redeemed in SmartPOS
    • This will allow Operators to lookup issued Comp Vouchers that have not yet been redeemed and are not yet expired
    • Operators can then Redeem a Comp that has already been issued to a Konami Member Account

Prerequisites

  • The following prerequisites must be met:
    1. The CALink connection to Konami must be successful
    2. A CALink Vouchers Till Function button must be configured to the Till Function Map
    3. A Card Prefix must be assigned to mimic keyboard wedge

CALink.exe Flags

  • In CALink.exe, when configuring for the Konami Server now contains additional flags to add support for Importing Members' Photos and for combining Comp and Slot Points
  • This adds support for Customer Photo to be retrieved live at the time of a Konami Member Card being swiped
  • This also adds the ability to combine the Comp and Slot points together

Steps

  1. To access these settings, run CALink.exe
  2. Select System to expand the menu options
  3. Select Settings to open the CALink configuration screen
  4. Ensure that the Server Type is set to "Konami"
  5. Locate the flags and enable
  6. Click OK to save the CALink Settings

  • Get Member Photo
    • This flag controls whether or not Bepoz will request the Member Photo once the Card is swiped or the Member is manually searched
    • If enabled, the Member photo will display in SmartPOS
  • Add Comp Points to Point Total
    • The standard Bepoz integration with Konami treats the Comp Points as a chargeable credit which is available to the Member
    • If this flag is enabled, Bepoz will instead retrieve both the Slot and Comp Point Totals and combine them to provide one Total represented to the Operator
    • When redeeming at SmartPOS, all available points are first deducted from the Comp Point allowance and then the rest is deducted from the Slot
