Using a Magnetic Card Reader
A magnetic card reader is a device that can read the information stored on a magnetic stripe card, such as a credit card or membership card. A magnetic card reader can be used to quickly and easily log in users by swiping their membership cards. This is useful for gaming venues, and other businesses that offer membership programs and want to provide a convenient and efficient way for members to access their accounts.
