Suitable machines can include:

Air Hockey
Boxing Machines
Reaction Games
Pool Tables
Skill Games
Interactive Games
Prize Machines
Family Arcade Games
Multiplayer Machines
Long-term commercial arrangements are assessed individually based on the venue and installation opportunity.

Profit Share Arcade Machine Hire for Leisure Centres
Profit-share arrangements can provide another route for leisure operators interested in commercial arcade equipment.
For suitable venues, machines may be installed under an agreed commercial structure with revenue generated from play shared according to the agreement.
This can reduce the need for the leisure centre to purchase and manage an entire arcade setup itself.
No Upfront Cost Arcade Machines for Leisure Centres
For qualifying commercial venues, certain placement arrangements may reduce or remove the need for substantial upfront equipment expenditure.
Instead of investing heavily before knowing how customers will interact with the machines, we can assess the venue and discuss an appropriate long-term arrangement.

Customer Profile
Opening Hours

Commercial Potential
Send us details of your centre and proposed area.
Cashless Arcade Machines for Leisure Centres
Cashless payment technology can be useful within modern leisure environments.
Customers often already pay electronically for memberships, swimming, activities and food.
Suitable arcade equipment may therefore use cashless payment systems depending on the installation.
Arcade Machine Maintenance for Leisure Centres
Commercial machines require ongoing support.
Long-term arrangements can include appropriate:
Servicing
Maintenance
Technical Support
Machine Management
Performance Review
The exact arrangement will depend on the installation and agreement.

Long Term Arcade Hire vs Buying Machines
Purchasing arcade machines outright means taking responsibility for:
Capital Cost
Delivery
Repairs
Maintenance
Payment Systems
Machine Selection
Replacement
Ongoing Management
Long-term hire or an appropriate commercial placement arrangement provides another model.
Long Term Arcade Machine Hire vs Event Hire
Our commercial long-term service is separate from short-term event hire.
Event hire is intended for:
Corporate Parties
Exhibitions
Staff Events
Private Parties
One-Off Functions
Long-term hire is for leisure centres and commercial venues wanting machines installed for an extended period.
Any day-hire pricing displayed elsewhere should therefore not be treated as pricing for a long-term commercial installation.
