Creating Rate Plans Unique to b4ubet

When creating or editing a Rate Plan that is to be used only in b4ubet and not in chameleon™, turn on the "Casino Only" check-box.

Work-Around to Offer Comp Rooms to Players

While it is possible to set up $0 Tariffs in Visual One, and also possible for chameleon™ to use $0 Tariff Rate Plans, we do not currently support $0 Tariffs, as the Agilysys stored procedure we use to request Tariff rates will not return $0, even when they exist in the database.

To accomplish zero rate availability, set up zero rate plans as Packages and assign a $0 room charge component. Do not attach a Tariff to the Package. There is no need to apply subtraction of components - just enter $0 as the room charge component price, and attach no Tariff.

Tech Notes

1. Add hotel.css file containing property styles to "/Content/hotels/{chameleon property name in URL}/" folder.
   
   
2. b4ubet app load all text tokens from chameleon™ WCF. To not load WCF service text tokens are cached. By default tokens will be retrieved every 10 minutes and stored in memory cache. Cache timeout can be tweaked in web.config: <add key="CacheTimeout" value="30"/> This value will be treated as timeout in minutes. (Current value on staging environment is 10.)
   
   
3. Optional: As every IGT request requires its own unique message ID, we can set the preferred message ID on Manage Property page, b4checkin Settings tab, the setting - B4UBET MESSAGE ID. Otherwise, the initial default value will be 1000.
