Choosing the Right Arcade Kiosk for Your FEC: the Power of Self-Service
In the fast-paced world of Family Entertainment Centers (FECs), providing exceptional customer experiences is paramount. One way to achieve this is by incorporating state-of-the-art self-service kiosks into your arcade setup. If you are operating an arcade swipe card system already, then an arcade kiosk is guaranteed to enhance the guest experience as well as sales.
With Semnox Solutions leading the way in innovative self-service technology, we offer a range of arcade kiosks designed to elevate your FEC to new heights.
In this blog, we will explore the benefits of self-service options, the importance of selecting the right arcade kiosk for your FEC, and highlight some of the top options available from Parafait, including the Klaimprize, Komplete, Klassic/Kulinary, Kinetick, and our newest Kompact kiosk.
Benefits of Self-Service Arcade Kiosks
Already operating a cashless card arcade system? Self-service kiosks can provide a variety of functions that can optimize your management system and can be implemented quickly with minimal setup time.
Kiosks can:
- Complement cashless card arcade systems.

It helps you cross-sell or up-sell based on customer needs and it’s a queue buster during peak hours. Learn all about the different benefits here.
The Klaimprize Redemption Prize Kiosk: Optimizing Prize Inventory
Managing a comprehensive prize inventory can be a challenge for FEC operators. Our IAAPA Brass Ring Award Winner, the Klaimprize Redemption Kiosk, streamlines this process by providing an automated solution for guests to manage their redemption points and prize selection while offering operators tracking, and inventory management.
Guests can redeem gifts using play cards or manual ticket receipts, print receipts for confirmed redemption orders, consolidate tickets, print new tickets, and load consolidated tickets into a new play card.
With real-time inventory updates, customers can conveniently select their desired prize, ensuring a seamless and efficient redemption experience. Mike Abecassis, the owner of GameTime Players, has had tremendous success with arcade kiosks.
“We had a positive shift in guest behavior when we implemented the self-service kiosks for game card purchases, so adding the redemption kiosks just made sense,” explains Abecassis. “About 55% of redemptions have moved to the redemption kiosks, which removes the selection process and cuts back on staffing. We were able to really impact not only labor but the guest experience because it’s a better self-driven experience.”
