Florida-based Sacoa is enabling cashless payments at Bolts, a social entertainment centre in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia.

Sacoa’s technology is helping make every interaction at Bolts simple, connected and engaging. Developed by Adventure World Entertainment (AWE), Bolts brings bowling, digital archery, clay shooting, billiards, darts, dining and live entertainment together in a venue designed around social experiences and friendly competition.

Sacoa’s technology supports the entertainment experience throughout with 38 Spark RFID readers, three PoS stations including PoS readers, RFID cards, CRM and online sales modules, and the Sacoa mobile app. The integrated installation allows visitors to access and enjoy the venue’s activities through a convenient cashless system, while giving the Bolts team connected tools to manage transactions and better understand guest activity.

“Bolts reflects our commitment to offering diverse, high-quality entertainment experiences that contribute to an improved quality of life and support the goals of Saudi Vision 2030,” said Tariq Al Aswad, COO of Saudi Marketing (www.farm.com.sa).

Hassan Ahmad, executive director of AWE (awsaudi.com), added: “Bolts represents an exciting new chapter for Adventure World Entertainment as we venture into the social entertainment space. We are pleased to have Sacoa as part of this new concept, providing the technology to support the experience we want to offer our guests and help create unforgettable moments.”

As AWE’s first social entertainment concept, Bolts marks a new chapter for the company’s growing portfolio in Saudi Arabia. By bringing competitive activities, food, music and social experiences together, the venue offers a fresh way for guests to spend time together. Sacoa’s cashless technology provides the digital infrastructure behind that experience, helping Bolts deliver a smooth and modern journey from play to payment.

Bolts is an 1850 square metre centre designed by KCC (kcc.be) for AWE.
