Here’s the Ticket!
Tower of Tickets will soon be rolling out to the industry as Elaut USA has teamed up with Bay-Tek to build the top earning merchandise dispensing game based on the Knock It off Rotary.
The game is a re-branding of a previous Elaut USA game, Knock It Off, and offers four-player, rotary-style play with round bundles of tickets as the prizes. The factory explained that the inspiration for the re-branded game came from veteran FEC operator and longtime industry columnist Frank Seninsky of Alpha-Omega Amusements, who pioneered the operation of ticket rotaries and helped design the Knock It Off Rotary. Frank also worked with Elaut on the Tower of Tickets.
Of the new manufacturing partnership, Elaut USA top exec Glenn Kramer said: “I’ve never worked with a more professional group than Bay Tek.” The Tower of Tickets is now in production and shipping has begun.
What this Could Mean? It will mean that every FEC and even street locations can make money with this great game for many years to come. Those who have been following the Redemption & FEC Report have known that the Knock It Off Rotary has been the #1 earning merchandise dispensing game in the industry for this past 9 months and has been among the Top 5 overall earning game in the industry for the past 6 months, reaching as high as #2 overall for a couple of weeks. The problem was that the Knock It Off has not been widely manufactured. We can also thank both Michael Green and Mark Horwood of UDC in the UK for moving the project of re-manufacturing the Knock It Off Rotary forward back in September 2014 after following its success in The Redemption & FEC Report.
The Tower of Tickets will show that tickets are still a big attraction and a game with a high hit frequency and fair win% can out earn almost all of the other games ever produced. Sometimes just getting back to basics can earn huge profits. New technology is not the only answer, but old technologies re-configured are also important to our industry’s success. I am proving the same concept with the Ticket Crane and currently working with a well-known manufacturer to create a specially designed ticket crane that every operator can easily use.
