Coinslot: How did Acos go for you – was there good footfall and business conducted during the two days?
Rich Clarke: A terrific attendance, exciting new games to showcase and explore, as well as a great social event, what more could we ask for?
The two days delivered on every level.
Coinslot: You had a number of crowd pulling innovations on stand, talk us through some of them and what was the customer reaction to your portfolio?
Rich Clarke: The growing enthusiasm for Furious Speed DX goes from strength to strength.
When a full motion, driving twin hits the market, with dual screens, delivering 130” monitor space, per player – for a headline grabbing price – it creates its own headlines and column inches!
It also benefits from top quality design from Rainbow Boy which offers players street racing at its finest.
It performed brilliantly in summer testing, and with the new, custom software tailored for the UK market it has many people extremely excited. None more so than me! It’s the driving game so many have been waiting for.
Where we have been fortunate to site test, for reliability checks and income performance analysis, across various sites in Summer 2025 – it has enabled us to bring to market a very strong game.
We’re also very lucky in our partnership with the manufacturer, which has enabled us to create UK specific, tailored, exclusive game software which adds to appeal further.
Also, the new wave of prize machines we have has many operators excited for earning potential, and chance to showcase top prizes in both the Container and Spin Box in particular.
These are superb new prize machines which have yielded incredible income figures in testing, and offer superb value.
Coinslot: Were there any notable wins from the two days – new agreements, installations, partnerships?
Rich Clarke: We were able talk about opportunities to pick up a bargain deal with some end of season USED games on offer, as well as in stock NEW games.
It’s great time to speak to us, and see how we can compliment the arcade and match customer requirements.
Coinslot: With a brief break between now and January’s EAG, what new innovations or projects can we expect at the London show?
Rich Clarke: The new game software for Furious Speed lands in December, so further testing, and modifications of that ahead of 2026 will be a focus, as well as supplying used games in our end of season clearance event too.
December will also see strong initial roll out of many of our main games for EAG too, so it’s a busy run up to the show.
