Trade Show Lead Retrieval With AllJ Slots

AllJ Slots 3.0 can require an attendee to identify themselves before playing. An exhibitor can scan the attendee's badge using a compatible USB barcode or laser scanner, retrieve attendee information through a supported Lead Retrieval API, and then automatically grant the attendee credits to play the booth game.

The Lead Is The Price Of Admission

Most booth games entertain people and tell you nothing about them. A crowd forms, prizes go out, and at the end of the show you have a bowl of business cards and no idea who actually played. Tying play to the badge scan fixes that: the attendee gets credits and a shot at a prize, and you get a lead record for every single person who stepped up to the machine.

Because the scan happens inside AllJ Slots, there is no second device to staff and no manual data entry. Your team stays free to have the conversation the game just started.

Badge Scan To Play

How Lead Retrieval Works At The Booth

Six steps, and the attendee only experiences one of them. From where they stand, they walk up, get scanned, and the machine lights up ready to play.

1

The Attendee Approaches The Booth

The reels, the audio and the light beacon have already done their job. Someone stops walking and wants a spin.

2

The Badge Is Scanned

A compatible USB barcode or laser scanner reads the attendee's event badge. No typing, no tablet, no separate lead retrieval device.

3

The Attendee ID Goes To The API

AllJ Slots sends the identifier from the badge to a supported Lead Retrieval API for the event.

4

Contact Information Comes Back

The provider returns the attendee record it holds for that ID — the same information you would have received from the event's own lead retrieval unit.

5

The Lead Is Recorded

The record is stored with the play, so your lead list and your game activity are the same list.

6

The Attendee Gets To Play

Credits are granted automatically and the spin starts. The attendee experiences a game, not a form.

Attendee Data

Information That May Be Collected

What comes back from a scan depends on the event's lead retrieval provider and on what the attendee supplied when they registered. Fields commonly returned include:

  • Name
  • Company
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Attendee ID
  • Any other information supplied by the event's lead retrieval provider

A Note On Whose Data This Is

AllJ Slots does not create attendee records — it retrieves the record the event already holds, using the badge the attendee chose to have scanned. The scope of what you receive, and what you may do with it afterwards, is set by the show organiser and their lead retrieval provider, not by this software.

Because the software runs entirely on the PC at your booth, the lead list stays with you on that machine. Only the badge lookup itself needs to reach the provider's API.

WHY EXHIBITORS USE IT

The badge scan turns a crowd-pleaser into a measurable part of the show.

  • Every play is an identified attendee. No bowl of business cards, no guessing at who came by.
  • The attendee wants to be scanned. Credits and a shot at a prize are a far better trade than "can I scan your badge?"
  • No manual data entry. Nobody on your team is typing names into a spreadsheet between conversations.
  • One device, not two. The game and the lead retrieval unit are the same machine, using the same staffer.
  • Play is gated to real attendees. A badge requirement keeps the prize pool for the people you came to meet.
  • The show is measurable. Built-in tracking and reporting show plays, prizes awarded and your busiest hours.

Setting It Up

What You Need At The Booth

A Windows PC running AllJ Slots 3.0 and a compatible USB barcode or laser scanner. That is the whole requirement for lead retrieval. Scanners generally run from about $75 to $400, and the same scanner can also be used with the Play Code features.

Everything else is a choice about how loud you want the booth to be: a touchscreen or real IGT/Suzo-HAPP arcade buttons for play, a large screen so the reels are visible from across the hall, a USB pay line triggered light beacon, and a thermal receipt printer so winners leave with a voucher to redeem with your staff. The Hardware page covers the options and typical costs.

Prefer not to rely on badge scanning? Play Code tools do the same job of controlling, tracking and rewarding booth play without a scan — useful at events that do not offer lead retrieval, or for traffic you drive in from a pre-show email or a speaking session.

Exhibitor Questions

Lead Retrieval FAQ

What is trade show lead retrieval?

Lead retrieval is the service most events provide so exhibitors can capture attendee contact details at their booth. Each attendee badge carries an identifier, and when an exhibitor scans that badge the event's lead retrieval provider returns the attendee's contact record. AllJ Slots 3.0 performs that scan and lookup itself, so the lead is captured as part of playing the booth game rather than as a separate step.

How does AllJ Slots capture a lead before someone plays?

AllJ Slots 3.0 can require an attendee to identify themselves before playing. The attendee's badge is scanned with a compatible USB barcode or laser scanner, the attendee ID is sent to a supported Lead Retrieval API, the contact information that comes back is recorded, and the attendee is then automatically granted credits to play the booth game. The attendee gets a reason to identify themselves, and the exhibitor gets a lead.

What attendee information can be collected?

What comes back depends on the event's lead retrieval provider and on what the attendee supplied at registration. Commonly returned fields include name, company, email address, phone number and the attendee ID, along with any other information the provider makes available through its API.

What hardware do I need for badge scanning at my booth?

A Windows PC running AllJ Slots and a compatible USB barcode or laser scanner. Scanners typically range from about $75 to $400. Everything else at the booth is optional: a touchscreen or arcade buttons for play, a large screen so the reels are visible from the aisle, a USB light beacon, and a thermal receipt printer for prize vouchers. See the Hardware page for details.

Do I have to use badge scanning to control who plays?

No. Play Code tools are the alternative. You can issue codes and use them to control, track and reward booth play without a badge scan, which is useful at events that do not offer lead retrieval, or for traffic you drive to the booth from a pre-show email or a speaking session.
