Features

True-Time Network Design
All gaming devices connect to KCMS through TCP/IP nodes on an Ethernet network, which virtually eliminate bandwidth limitations. By taking advantage of the strength of the Oracle Database and Java development tools, the System provides accurate, real-time game level accounting while enhancing the player's experience.

Konami has also introduced our next generation of TCP/IP player tracking hardware, NAMB2. Powered by a high-performance PC and configured with a 3x5 inch color touch screen LCD display and speaker, NAMB2 hardware is capable of delivering multi-media and streaming video applications to casino patrons.

True-Time Business Intelligence
KCMS gives you unparalleled control over the constant flow of information flowing between your gaming machines and your patrons. Enable faster, more informed decision-making through user-friendly data inquiry and graphic report generation via Oracle Discoverer.

Oracle Enterprise Database
With Oracle enterprise database technology at its core, the Konami Casino Management System has unlimited database server scalability in a high availability, high performance solution. You can maintain years of online data, perform theoretical tracking by game and by patron, and take advantage of True-time, multi-site functionality of replicated patron data.

Java-Powered User Interface
The system's Java front-end user interface enables rapid development and deployment, is platform-independent, and provides seamless wireless technology capabilities. The result is a flexible, scalable, open solution that allows for future change and growth.

True-Time Cashless
Tailor your patron's experience with cashless play. Employ Ticket In, Ticket Out to manage transactions more effectively, while providing patrons with electronic point redemption and other incentives.

True-Time Advanced Incentives
The focus on the player's experience is backed by the strength of Advanced Incentives, an extremely flexible marketing tool kit. Advanced Incentives lets the casino operator create their own marketing programs, rewarding players with point multipliers, drawing tickets, and cashable or non-cashable credits.

Players can be informed of their rewards through the Celebration Mode touch-screen LCD monitor called True Time Entertainment, which streams real-time audio and video.

Track and reward patron participation throughout your casino and hotel. Reward loyalty and build relationships by creating unique, targeted reward programs based on patron behavior and demographics to help ensure ongoing loyalty.

True-Time Patron Tracking
Real-time true multi-site patron tracking is the heart of an extensive data warehouse. Casino operators can target their most valuable patrons and create flexible marketing campaigns including group, random draw, club points, mailing lists and email blasts.

True-Time Monitoring
Stay in control of the floor in real-time with KCMS. Module features include over 800 true-time alerts that can be reported directly to surveillance or to other management by email, cell phone or PDA. Also, track all active revenue streams on the casino's floor through the Virtual Floor application.

True-Time Slot Management
Monitor every game and every machine and get true game-level accounting data from any time period (month-to-date, quarter-to-date, etc.). Remove the guesswork and receive true theoretical win, multi-game, or multi-denominational analysis to ensure optimal game mix for your patrons.

True-Time Tables
Track and manage patrons' ratings through a touch screen feature that also includes the flexibility of managing chip inventory and table accounting transaction. This consists of tracking and managing openers/closers, fills/credits, drops, markers, and buy backs through the use of touch screen technology.

True-Time Cage, Credit & Vault
Service your patrons more efficiently through the cage by establishing credit limits, increasing credit limits with approval, cashing checks, converting foreign currency and setting up many ways of establishing marker access.

True-Time Wireless
Using a wireless handheld and bar code asset number on the slot machine, patron and slot information is available to casino floor personnel in True-Time. Collect and manage patron information, issue or redeem comps, manage machine information, and provide player services.
