Our Exhibition Arcade Machine Hire service is designed for exhibitors who want to create attraction, energy and steady engagement on their stand. Arcade machines are visually striking, easy to use and appeal to all ages, making them one of the most effective ways to draw visitors in and keep them interacting with your team.
Whether you're exhibiting at ExCeL London, Olympia, the NEC or any major UK venue, arcade machines help you stand out in busy halls and make your stand feel lively and memorable.
Arcade machines are instantly recognisable. Visitors understand exactly what they are and how they work, so there’s no barrier to participation. The lights, sounds and competitive gameplay naturally pull attention from across the exhibition floor.
Arcade machines help you:
• Increase stand footfall
• Hold visitor attention for longer
• Create natural conversation starters
• Encourage friendly competition
• Make your stand more interactive
• Keep people returning to beat their score
• Add movement and colour to your space
They are an ideal choice for both small and large exhibition stands.
We supply a wide selection of arcade machines suited to different stand sizes, audiences and layouts.
Retro Arcade Machines
Classic titles that everyone recognises, such as Pac-Man, Street Fighter, Donkey Kong and multi-game cabinets.
