Club Assistant is the definitive player registration, membership and reception system. As with all the EndX modules it is scalable from a small single-site casino to a large multi-site group. The module is totally configurable to the casino's requirements with a few simple set-up options. Club Assistant incorporates imaging, ID/Passport scanning, card printing, promotional sales, fast group reception entry, visitor statistics/analysis and player/responsible gaming restrictions. Unlike many similar products, Club Assistant incorporates a powerful reporting and marketing wizard. The wizard enables an easy interface for report generation, campaign and promotions management and mail-shot printing.

The players' details can be entered at a reception area, and/or in a back office. This ensures that sufficient information is captured quickly in order that a player can enter the casino, or receive their bonus card, and start gaming. This process allows connection to passport readers in order to gather the basic information direct from players' passports and ID cards. Definable categories and interests allow the casino to record the information that will better target future marketing promotions.

Simple photo imaging, capture from a video camera, allows for secure identification of players, through out the EndX application suite. In order to minimise the growth of the casino's data storage requirements all images are compressed prior to storage.
 
 
 
Where a reception is in operation a simple swipe of the player's card ensures the fastest possible entry to the casino. Security is maintained by the displaying of the player's image and address details. Should a player fail to present their card the casino can quickly perform a name-based search in order enter the player into the casino. The multi-image screens supplement any name-based search by offering the images of all matches to the name search; this ensures that mistaken identities are practically eradicated. Club Assistant offers a full audit of visits and any amendments to a player's record, such as lost cards.
 
 
 
ID can be recorded and scanned so that the image of the ID document can be held on the database. Club Assistant can maintain several ID checking rules to ensure acceptable ID forms are used and to deny entry to the casino for any player who has failed to provide the relevant ID. Age restrictions are also enforced including based upon nationality, where tourists are subjected to lower restrictions compared to local nationals.
 
 
 
One of the most powerful functions of Club Assistant is marketing and promotions section. Based upon our own report generation tool and wizard Club Assistant can be used for a simple mail shot up to a full-scale multi-event campaign. Utilizing links to Microsoft Word, it is a simple operation to turn the criteria into a mail shot letter. The campaigns can be used to monitor any expenses incurred, including the issuing of complimentaries to the players associated with the promotion event. The marketing section also includes a contact management system to aid managers in their quest to provide added value for the players.
