Boutique Party Hire supplies and installs commercial arcade machines into suitable high-footfall venues across the UK under long-term revenue-share arrangements.
For qualifying locations, arcade machines can potentially be installed without the venue needing to purchase all of the equipment outright, with revenue generated from gameplay shared according to the agreed commercial arrangement.
We can discuss installations for:
Hotels
Pubs
Bars
Bowling Alleys
Holiday Parks
Leisure Centres
Ice Rinks
Family Entertainment Centres
Soft Play Centres
Trampoline Parks
Shopping Centres
Cinemas
Restaurants
Tourist Attractions
Student Venues
Other High-Footfall Locations
From one machine to a substantial arcade installation, every opportunity is assessed individually.
How Revenue Share Arcade Machines Work
Revenue-share arcade machines provide a commercial alternative to purchasing equipment outright.
For qualifying venues, suitable machines can be installed for an extended period.
Customers use the machines, revenue is generated through gameplay, and the income is distributed according to the commercial agreement between the parties.
This means the venue can potentially introduce arcade entertainment while avoiding the capital cost of purchasing an entire arcade setup.

Customers Using the Machines
The page should immediately look like a commercial arcade operator’s website.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Venues
Revenue-share arcade installations can potentially provide benefits for both the venue and arcade operator.
The venue provides access to suitable customer-facing space.
Arcade machines provide an additional entertainment activity.
Customers pay to play.
Revenue generated by the machines is then handled according to the agreed commercial arrangement.
The exact structure will depend on the individual venue and installation.
Arcade Machine Revenue Share Agreements
There isn’t necessarily one agreement that suits every venue.
A commercial arrangement may depend on:
Weekly Footfall
Venue Type
Available Floor Space
Number of Machines
Customer Demographics
Opening Hours
Location
Existing Entertainment
Expected Machine Usage
Maintenance Requirements
Larger opportunities can justify significantly larger installations.
No Upfront Cost Arcade Machine Installation
For qualifying venues, certain revenue-share arrangements may reduce or remove the need for significant upfront machine expenditure.
Instead of purchasing several commercial machines yourself, a suitable installation may potentially be structured around revenue generated by the equipment.
This can be particularly attractive to businesses with strong customer traffic but which do not want to invest substantial capital into arcade equipment.
Turn Empty Floor Space Into Revenue
Have unused customer-facing space?
It may have commercial potential.
Suitable areas could include:
Unused Games Rooms
Empty Corners
Large Waiting Areas
Spare Rooms
Underused Leisure Areas
Vacant Retail Units
Entertainment Spaces
Large Reception Areas
Unused Family Areas
Send us photographs, measurements and information about customer footfall and we can assess the opportunity.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Hotels
Hotels can potentially generate additional entertainment revenue from arcade machines positioned within:
Games Rooms
Family Areas
Bars
Entertainment Rooms
Leisure Areas
Large Reception Spaces
Family hotels and larger leisure-focused properties may be particularly suitable.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Bowling Alleys
ADD BOWLING / LARGE INSTALLATION PHOTO HERE
Bowling alleys are particularly natural environments for commercial arcade machines.
Customers already visit for entertainment and often have additional time:
Before Bowling
After Bowling
Between Games
While Waiting for Lanes
During Birthday Parties
While Ordering Food & Drinks
Suitable bowling centres may potentially support significant multi-machine arcade installations.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Pubs
Pubs can potentially generate additional entertainment revenue using carefully selected arcade equipment.
Suitable machines can include:
Boxing Machines
Pool
Basketball
Reaction Games
Arcade Cabinets
Competitive Games
The right machine depends on the pub’s audience and available space.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Bars
Entertainment-led bars can be particularly suitable for competitive arcade machines.
Potential equipment includes:
Boxing
Basketball
Racing
Pool
Reaction Games
Air Hockey
Retro Arcade
These games can provide customers with another reason to remain and socialise.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Holiday Parks
Holiday parks can provide strong arcade opportunities because customers remain on-site for several days.
Suitable areas include:
Entertainment Complexes
Games Rooms
Clubhouses
Family Areas
Indoor Leisure Facilities
Bars
Activity Centres
Larger holiday parks may potentially support substantial arcade installations.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Leisure Centres
Leisure centres can have significant family and sports-related footfall.
Potential machine locations include:
Reception
Cafés
Waiting Areas
Family Areas
Games Rooms
Sports Zones
Suitable locations can be assessed for long-term revenue-share installations.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Ice Rinks
Ice rinks can be particularly interesting because customers often spend time at the venue before and after skating sessions.
Machines may potentially be installed around:
Reception
Café Areas
Spectator Areas
Waiting Zones
Ice Hockey Areas
Entertainment Areas
This is another section where your real ice-rink installation photographs should be used.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Family Entertainment Centres
Family entertainment centres can potentially support substantial commercial arcade installations.
Arcade machines can complement:
Bowling
Soft Play
Trampolines
Mini Golf
Laser Tag
VR
Climbing
Food & Drink
These venues already attract customers looking for entertainment, making arcade machines a natural additional activity.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Soft Play Centres
Soft play venues can potentially generate additional revenue while providing entertainment for older children, teenagers and parents.
Suitable equipment can include:
Basketball
Racing
Air Hockey
Arcade Cabinets
Reaction Games
Skill Games
This can broaden the entertainment available beyond the main soft-play structure.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Trampoline Parks
Trampoline parks often have natural waiting and dwell periods.
Arcade machines can provide entertainment:
Before Sessions
After Sessions
While Waiting
During Birthday Parties
Around Café Areas
For Parents & Siblings
Suitable venues can be assessed for commercial installations.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Shopping Centres
Shopping centres can provide substantial footfall.
Potential opportunities include:
Vacant Retail Units
Family Entertainment Zones
Food Courts
Leisure Areas
Dedicated Arcade Spaces
Temporary Entertainment Units
Larger spaces may potentially support complete arcade concepts.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Cinemas
Cinema customers often arrive before their film starts.
Arcade machines can provide entertainment during this natural waiting period.
Suitable areas may include:
Cinema Foyers
Food & Drink Areas
Waiting Zones
Family Areas
Leisure Complexes
Large multiplex cinemas can potentially accommodate multi-machine installations.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Restaurants
Entertainment-led restaurants and food halls can potentially generate additional revenue from arcade equipment.
Suitable games may include:
Retro Arcade Cabinets
Racing
Basketball
Pool
Reaction Games
Boxing
The installation should complement the restaurant rather than interfere with normal customer flow.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Tourist Attractions
Tourist attractions can potentially use arcade machines as another paid visitor activity.
Suitable locations include:
Visitor Centres
Family Areas
Cafés
Waiting Zones
Indoor Entertainment Areas
Exit Areas
Strong annual visitor numbers can make these particularly interesting commercial opportunities.
Revenue Share Arcade Machines for Student Venues
Student unions and university social venues can be strong environments for arcade machines.
Potential equipment includes:
Boxing
Pool
Basketball
Racing
Air Hockey
Retro Arcade
Reaction Games
Strong evening and social traffic can be particularly relevant.
Cashless Revenue Share Arcade Machines
Suitable commercial arcade machines can potentially operate using cashless payment technology.
Customers may be able to pay using card or contactless payment depending on the equipment and installation.
This can be particularly useful in venues where customers already pay electronically for:
Food
Drinks
Tickets
Accommodation
Activities
Retail Purchases
Contactless Arcade Machines for Commercial Venues
Modern arcade installations don’t necessarily need to rely entirely on coins.
Suitable machines can potentially use contactless payment systems.
This can make it easier for customers to play while providing a modern payment experience.
Managed Revenue Share Arcade Installations
A long-term arcade placement requires ongoing management.
Depending on the commercial agreement, this can potentially include:
Machine Supply
Delivery
Installation
Payment Systems
Technical Support
Maintenance
Machine Selection
Performance Monitoring
Machine Rotation
Installation Expansion
The exact responsibilities depend on the individual agreement.
Arcade Machine Maintenance
Commercial machines can receive heavy use.
Maintenance is therefore an important part of a long-term installation.
Depending on the agreement, technical support and servicing can form part of the commercial arrangement.
The aim is to keep machines operating and available to customers.
Monitoring Arcade Machine Performance
Not every machine performs equally in every location.
Machine performance can depend on:
Venue Demographics
Machine Position
Machine Type
Customer Age
Pricing
Opening Hours
Seasonality
Visibility
A machine that performs strongly in one venue may perform differently in another.
Arcade Machine Rotation
Where appropriate under the commercial arrangement, machine performance can be reviewed over time.
For example:
A boxing machine may be particularly suited to bars and student venues.
A racing machine may work strongly in family entertainment venues.
A basketball machine may suit leisure and sports locations.
A retro cabinet may work well in hospitality environments.
The machine mix should suit the venue rather than being identical everywhere.
Start With One Arcade Machine
Not every revenue-share installation needs to begin with a full arcade.
Some locations may be better suited to one carefully selected machine.
This can allow the commercial opportunity to be assessed before considering additional equipment.
3 Machine Revenue Share Arcade Installation
Three machines can create a compact games area.
Potential combinations include:
Racing + Basketball + Arcade Cabinet
or
Boxing + Basketball + Reaction Game
The combination should reflect the venue’s customers.
5 Machine Revenue Share Arcade Installation
A five-machine installation can create a meaningful entertainment zone.
A potential mix could include:
Racing
Basketball
Air Hockey
Arcade Cabinet
Reaction or Skill Game
This can provide customers with several different activities.
10 Machine Revenue Share Arcade Installation
Ten machines can create a substantial arcade environment.
Suitable high-footfall venues may potentially accommodate:
Multiple Racing Machines
Basketball
Air Hockey
Arcade Cabinets
Skill Games
Interactive Machines
Prize Machines
At this scale, layout and machine selection become increasingly important.

Revenue Share vs Buying Arcade Machines
Buying arcade machines requires upfront capital and means the venue becomes responsible for:
Machine Purchasing
Delivery
Installation
Payment Systems
Repairs
Maintenance
Replacement Equipment
Machine Selection
Ongoing Management
Revenue share provides another route for qualifying venues.
Revenue Share vs Fixed Arcade Machine Rental
Revenue share and fixed rental are different commercial models.
Fixed Rental
The venue generally pays an agreed hire fee for the equipment.
Revenue Share
The commercial arrangement is linked to income generated through machine gameplay.
The most appropriate model depends on the venue and intended use.
Revenue Share vs Short-Term Arcade Hire
Revenue-share installations are also different from event hire.
Short-term arcade hire is intended for:
Corporate Events
Exhibitions
Christmas Parties
Private Parties
Brand Activations
Temporary Events
Revenue-share arcade machines are intended for longer-term commercial installations.
Any day-hire prices shown on our event product imagery should therefore not be treated as revenue-share pricing.
We can assess revenue-share arcade opportunities throughout London and Greater London.
Potential venues include:
Hotels
Bars
Pubs
Bowling Alleys
Restaurants

Leisure Venues
Family Entertainment Centres
Tourist Attractions
