• Barron Games mentioned in Playmeter's e-newsletter

  We've been mentioned in Playmeter's July 7 e-newsletter. "Products from Barron Games International, manufacturer of air hockey tables, kiddie rides, redemption games, and walking animals, were featured in the third episode of the new TV game show, "Downfall," which aired July 6. The weekly series began June 22 and appears each Tuesday at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. The show puts contestants on the top of a 10-story building to see who has the focus and fearlessness to avoid their "downfall" over the edge. In the process, they may win cash or prizes. Episode six will feature fabricated facsimiles of all prizes placed on a conveyor belt. In each round, players will try to answer trivia questions to keep cash and prizes from going over the edge of the roof."

• Update: "The Redemption Report"

  The Challenger Neon Air Hockey table (in redemption mode) is still out-earning the other 2 Hot Flash IIs. Note that the Challenger is priced at 75 cents/play (on redemption) and the Hot Flash IIs are set at 50 cents/play. The next part of the test will be to reduce the Challenger price to 50 cents and see what happens. What has remained true is that there is a group that likes the Challenger better and a group that still likes to play the Hot Flash II.

• Hot from "The Redemption Report"

  Barron Games International has an air hockey table, the Challenger Neon, that is set up to award redemption tickets. Program options include awarding tickets to just the Winner, or more tickets to the Winner and fewer tickets to Loser. AEM is currently testing the Barron Games unit up against two Hot Flash II air hockey's. This site was chosen because AEM has the data on 3 Hot Flash air hockey's in this same location going back more than a year (one was removed for this test). AEM has reported that the Barron Games 'Challenger Neon Air Hockey' earned $513.25/week up against $252.00 and $264.25 for the Hot Flash II air hockey's. AEM is still working on making some modifications to get the ticket payout % to 20% and will have more data in next month's TRR. So far this test is very encouraging. Over a six week period (Nov/Dec) the 'Challenger Neon Air Hockey' has earned an average of 60% higher revenues than the average of the two (2) Hot Flash Air Hockey games. — Frank Seninsky, The Redemption Report

• The new redemption trend

  Manufacturers have started a trend of adding redemption tickets to what previously used to be the 'novelty' games category. Recent examples are Barron Games 'Challenger Neon' 2 Player redemption model Air Hockey (this air hockey is out earning our regular air hockey tables by an average of 60% for the past 3 months' test). — Click on Barron Games Spot Ad
