ST. LOUIS — Cashless technology pioneer Intercard will showcase its kiosk-free Impulse Plus reader at the 2026 IAAPA Expo Europe to be held September 22-24 in London. CEO Scott Sherrod and Alberto Borrero, vice-president of international sales, will be there for the year’s top European show.
The powerful Impulse Plus reader doesn’t need to be connected to a kiosk. It accepts more types of payments (including credit cards), makes more upsells and can increase revenues by as much as 30%. It is ideal for arcade operators who want an easy way to capture credit card users while continuing to use coin-op games. The Impulse Plus allows them to do both and can deliver reports of cash and credit card revenues on demand via mobile device or at the arcade. It also includes a secure payment gateway and it’s now ready for European operations.
Intercard will also feature its Mobile iReader, an affordable app that operators can install on an employee’s handheld device. Mobile iReader turns that device into a mobile reader that scans RFID and bar-coded play cards as well as QR codes and wristbands. Guests can purchase game play with a credit card and Mobile iReader securely processes payments to the Intercard Back Office system. It’s ideal for serving customers in line at such outdoor attractions as go karts, mini-golf, playgrounds and water parks.
Visitors to booth S2730 in the South Halls can learn why such trend-setting European operators as France’s Hall U Need and SpeedPark, Spain’s Ozone Bowling and Germany’s PlayZone rely on Intercard for industry-leading arcade payment systems that boost revenues, lower costs and improve customer service.
