Redemption games: the machines that bring players back.
Ticket and prize games — the recurring-revenue engine of family entertainment centres, with the highest earnings per square metre in the whole room.
Redemption games are arcade machines that, beyond the fun, give the player a reward: tickets, points on a card or a prize directly. The mechanism is simple and extremely effective — the player wants to beat their score, collect more tickets and reach the prize they want at the counter. For the operator that means longer play sessions, frequent returns and revenue per square metre among the best in the venue.
Pixel Games, the arcade division of the RomBowling group, brings redemption games from Baytek, ICE and LAI Games to Romania: skill games with balls and targets, reaction and timing games, throwing games, stop-the-light machines, ticket games for kids and competitive games for two or more players. All are compatible with card payment systems and classic coin mechanisms.
Choosing the mix matters as much as the machines themselves. A family centre needs a different balance between games for children, teenagers and adults than a mall arcade or a bowling centre with an arcade zone. We start from floor area, audience and budget and propose a concrete configuration with placement on the plan.
Redemption Games: types of equipment
Ticket games
The classics with a short play cycle and tickets on every game: skill games, throwing games, light wheels — the backbone of any redemption zone.
Instant-prize games
The player wins the item on the spot, not tickets: prize boxes, stacker games, key masters — ideal for malls and cinemas.
Redemption for kids
Low-height machines with simple controls and tickets regardless of score — the zone that decides where the whole family goes.

What operators ask us
It depends on the venue, but in family centres redemption usually generates the highest takings per square metre thanks to short play cycles and a high repeat rate.
Yes. We recommend the counter structure and the ticket-to-prize ratio, and connect you with the prize suppliers we work with (PMS, Landahl).
Both: classic ticket dispensers or card integration (e-tickets) through compatible management systems.
