SECURE GAMING REQUIRES SECURE IDENTIFICATION
833 Reader for User Authentication – The Smart Choice for Gaming Systems. A future-proof card reader platform for arcade and
gaming machines – robust, compliant, and developer-friendly.
Gaming needs performance. SECURE GAMING REQUIRES SECURE IDENTIFICATION.
Facing these challenges in your Gaming Systems?
Complex integration between card readers, controllers, and legacy systems
Mechanical and thermal stress in true 24/7 operation
Incompatibilities between RFID standards and proprietary gaming interfaces
Security risks in cashless payment and player identification systems
Long development cycles caused by complex firmware and SDK integration
Growing compliance requirements, including secure software development, vulnerability management, and long-term update support (EU Cyber Resilience Act ready)
The Solution. Our USP.
The 833 Reader is built for gaming.
Fast, robust, intelligent – made for systems that never stop.
With its high-performance electronics, flexible SDK, and future-proof connectivity, the 833 bridges the gap between industrial reliability and gaming-grade integration.
Benefits for Gaming Manufacturers
- Easy integration into existing controllers, terminals, and payment systems
- High-speed reading performance even under heavy usage
- Maximum security through integrated encryption algorithms on the microcontroller (AES, 3DES, and secure key handling)
- Flexible SDKs for rapid software integration
- Local intelligence for autonomous communication without external hosts
- Durable construction for vibration, dust, and long-term mechanical stress
- Illuminated card entry with full RGB lighting – for clear user guidance, visual feedback, and customizable colour branding
- Integrated magnetic stripe reader – supports triple-track reading for compatibility with legacy payment and loyalty systems
- Mechanical shutter – automatically locks the card or coin slot for maintenance or anti-fraud protection
- User key or token enrolment – customers can register their own keys or tags directly on the device for personalized access or loyalty programs
- Apple Wallet and Google Wallet compatibility – supports NFC-based transactions and token emulation for fully contactless gaming experiences
- Cyber Resilience Act readiness – pre-engineered to meet EU CRA requirements for cybersecurity, secure software lifecycle, and vulnerability management, reducing certification effort and ensuring long-term legal compliance
Additional Solution: 881 RFID Reader with Integrated Display
We also offer an RFID/NFC-only reader: the 881 Reader, equipped with an integrated display. It supports both physical player cards and digital cards via RFID/NFC. The module can dynamically generate QR codes on the screen, allowing users to log in seamlessly with their player app.
The display is available in 2″ or 3.5″, delivering up to 1,000 nits brightness, with fully adjustable levels to suit any environment.
The 881 Reader will also support closed-loop cards stored in Google Wallet and Apple Wallet, eliminating the need for physical player cards in the future. Get a consultation with our engineering team for more information.
