Over 700 games per machine guarantee excellent receipts every week
July 23, 2008
Since the beginning of the year funworld has been distributing
“Stacker” prize vending machines from LAI Games in all
of Europe, excluding Belgium, Great Britain, Spain and Norway. Meanwhile,
the touchscreen innovator renowned for the brand PHOTO PLAY has
already been supplying the two versions of “Stacker Club”
and “Stacker Giant” in 14 European countries.
“By assuming the general distribution of Stacker in nearly
all of Europe funworld has entered a lucrative partnership with
LAI Games, which sets a strong course in the coin-operated entertainment
branch. Stacker is meanwhile well-established in Central Europe
and its market launch in many south-eastern European countries is
impressive”, emphasises Josef Öhlinger, funworld ag CEO.
Highest volume countries: Germany
and France
In addition to its own set-up in Austria, funworld is executing
the general distribution of Stacker very successfully in Germany,
Switzerland, France, Greece, Holland, Montenegro, Poland, Romania,
Slovenia, Sweden, Czechia, Hungary and Cypress. Out of these, Germany
and France are the highest selling countries.
Over 700 games are played per machine on average per week, whereas
the game figures are even higher in Czechia and Poland. However,
the simple, Tetris-like game principle and sensational “Point-of-Play”
presence guarantees excellent receipts in all European countries.
Kino centres, bowling centres &
shopping centres
According to information from hosts, Stacker pays off shortly, whereby
this is strongly dependent on the attractiveness of prices and the
location. Film centres, bowling centres, shopping centres, railway
stations and motorway service areas have proven to be ideal locations.
The security system with laminated security glass, security locks
and special cash register locking devices is specially adapted by
funworld to European standards and has particularly proven its worth
here.
Major potential
Stacker is developing in Europe into a genuine guarantee for success
and according to Öhlinger is above all interesting for locations,
who are already working with crane crab vending

“As
the optimal successor to crane machines, Stacker generates excellent
profits, which clearly outshine the revenue from classic crane machines,
as the balance sheet of our own set-up in Austria shows, among other
evidence. Stacker is a ‘must have’ for every location
and has major market potential throughout Europe.”
