Customers can enjoy claw machines and other prize-based games before browsing merchandise in the same venue. This integrated model creates multiple customer touchpoints, from starting a game to collecting a prize or exploring retail products. For operators, selecting suitable digital solutions requires an understanding of how these activities work together. BAODIAN Digital works with entertainment businesses to explore solutions aligned with their operational needs and business models. Connecting Gameplay and Prize Redemption Prize-based gameplay is central to WAHOO's concept. Its token-based experience links arcade participation with opportunities to win prizes and redeem eligible winnings for merchandise. For arcade operators, game access, payment processes and prize redemption can be important parts of the customer journey. Digital solutions should be selected according to the venue's actual workflows and confirmed project requirements. Creating a More Engaging Customer Journey By combining interactive games with retail shopping, WAHOO offers guests more than one reason to explore the venue. Collectible products and prize experiences complement the arcade activities and help define its distinctive identity. A well-planned digital setup can support relevant operational processes while allowing the venue to preserve its unique customer experience. The appropriate configuration depends on the equipment, services and systems required by the operator.
