Cash management solutions provider Intercard has designed and installed customised iWave Readers for Al Othaim Leisure’s Snow City location in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The snow activity-themed family entertainment venue opened on July 13.
The readers have been customised to address the unique requirements of Snow City, a snow activity-themed family entertainment centre. Guests pay at the front desk and are issued RFID cards that give them timed-play access to “warm areas,” which include locker rooms for changing into snow-appropriate attire, and “cold areas,” for snow activities like skiing and snowmobiling. The readers have a timed-play feature that pauses activities for praying time - this system ensures that guests are given the full play time they purchased while allowing them to observe religious customs.
The RFID cards can also be used for equipment rentals, lockers and merchandise purchases.
There are now more than 30 Al Othaim Leisure sites using Intercard systems. Other branded site chains include: Saffori Land, Faby Land, Splash Water Park, Action Zone, My Town and Xtreme Zone. The company is planning for another Snow City in the Middle East next year.
