Maximizing ROI with Data-Driven Decisions.

In the modern digital era, having quality arcade data is essential to maximize the return on investment for your machines and to make well-informed decisions on how to adjust your game floor. With Amusement Connect’s ecosystem enabling access to the cloud-based Operator Dashboard, your arcade floor gets a whole lot smarter with key performance metric tracking, game analyzer features, an ROI calculator, real time alerts, and even more. Here are the top benefits having high-quality arcade software can bring to your venue.

Utilize the ROI Calculator and Game Analyzer for Smarter Spending.

Purchasing a new arcade machine is expensive, with costs often exceeding $10,000 per game. Historically, operators have relied on experience, gut instinct, or industry hype when purchasing new games. Our tools eliminate the guessing game and provide everything operators need to refresh their floor with confidence.

Built-in ROI Calculator: Predict profitability before you buy.

• Project the time-to-profitability of any machine using aggregated real-world performance data from more than 90,000 game machines in the Amusement Connect ecosystem.
• Operators can run custom scenarios that factor in commission splits, revenue share agreements, and operating expenses, eliminating all guesswork in their business decisions.
• Gain clarity before investing in games. Smart purchasing decisions ensure expected payback periods for operators and allow for greater confidence.

Industry Game Analyzer: Benchmark game performance across the industry.

• Operators can see how games are priced across comparable locations, helping them fine-tune pricing strategies from day one to maximize profits.
• Utilize anonymized cross-location data from more than 3,000 locations to show how any specific game performs at similar venues, reducing the risk of underperforming placements.
• Filters allow comparisons by region and location type to ensure relevance and accuracy.

In the above example, we’ve selected redemption games across all industries, showing us the top performing redemption games last year along with how much operators price per play.

Track True Game Performance.

Don’t rely on manual collections alone to judge your game performance. Doing so often hides trends over time and delays critical decisions that could greatly enhance your arcade’s revenue potential.

How our tools can help:

• The Operator Dashboard aggregates swipe data, revenue-per-day, and session patterns for each machine, which gives you a day-by-day performance view of individual machines as well as the entire game floor.
• Operators can quickly identify underperforming games using this data to swap, relocate, or replace them without waiting for weeks of collections to reveal the issue. Easily detect if a game is paying out too often (or not enough).
• Having this performance data over time also highlights seasonal patterns, which is valuable to inform staffing and marketing pushes, as well as determining the best off-peak times for happy hour promotions.

Run Collection Reports to Avoid Blind Spots.

Manual collections introduce human error, delays, and lead to missed revenue opportunities. Develop a regular cadence of reviewing financial reports of the prior week or month to determine your peak and off-peak times. 

How we can help: 

• Our automated collection reporting tracks every transaction, greatly reducing the labor involved and preventing any discrepancies.
• Multi-location operators get standardized reporting that enables cleaner comparison across locations and provides organization-wide insights.
• The cloud-based dashboard allows you to check cash box levels and view reports remotely on any device, reducing travel frequency and allowing you to check if an arcade needs collection before heading to the site.
