A new machine should earn its place in your venue through its audience fit, game experience and operating requirements.

Look at the player fit

Consider who will play and whether the experience complements existing equipment.

Information to confirm

Observe real gameplay where possible.

Check the practical details

Review floor space, power, operation, service and the available supply package.

Do not assume a trend suits every market.

Test the concept

Use demos, supplier videos and venue feedback to explore whether the idea matches your visitors.

Revisit selections as the market changes.
