  Currently, the Casino uses Aristocrat’s OASIS Player Card System and this client wanted to create an in-house rewards system. What was created for this client was a runtime file driven program that can be installed on a Windows PC anywhere in the Casino with a configurable venue and reward which runs against a SQL Server Database and communicates directly with the OASIS SQL Database to retrieve Player Card daily cash in and name so that a single reward can be given based on a configurable amount of play for each day. A Configuration Utility was also written so that the Casino Operator cans Add/Edit/Delete Venues, their reward and amount of play required for the rewards.
