Entertainment Applications

Stand-alone or networked entertainment machines provide patrons with a variety of games and on-demand music. These games can be stand-alone machines or networked devices where players at separate tables or even in different venues can compete against each other. These are “pay for play" machines and can be found in arcades, bars, pubs, restaurants or other location where people gather. Entertainment applications include:

  • Amusement Arcade Games
  • Amusement-with-Prize Games / Skill-with-Prize Games
  • Bartop Games

Amusement arcade games are found in video arcades or game centers around the world as stand-alone machines located in public-access areas with little or no supervision.
