Scan the code on a slot machine
During shows of slot machines and casino games stickers with QR-codes are put on these games. A user can scan these stickers and get an insight into the statistics of that slot machine and the game on it.
Request insightful data from slot machines
ReelScan gives casino owners and managers insight into how a slot machine or game is performing against other games and machines. This allows them to make better choices when making new investments.

What has been developed?
iOS & Android app
Graphs and QR codes
ReelScan is an app that displays a lot of data. To display this data in an insightful way, different types of graphs are used. Next to this overviews of slot machines and other games are displayed. These overviews can be searched, filtered and sorted to keep them structured and clear.
A QR code scanner is built into the app to scan a slot machine and display its statistics. Users can easily open this scanner through a tab at the bottom of the app.
Design
Simple, goal oriented UI
With the design of ReelScan we focussed on a user interface that supports the goals of the user as best as possible. We chose to use 'bottom navigation' to make the relationship between the primary pages clear. Each page plays an important role in displaying information about the performance of games and cabinets. A library of games can be accessed to search for games and slot machines in the database. A QR code scanner provides access to data of specific machines. When a machine has been scanned a user can see this machine through the 'my lists' page.
When creating this app, RealScan's corporate identity was considered in the design. This can be seen in the colors and fonts of the app.
