Basketball Arcade Machines
Basketball games are easy to understand. Players shoot as many baskets as possible before time runs out.
They can work well for:
- School carnivals
- Family days
- Birthday parties
- Company events
- Friendly competitions
We include the Basketball Machine within our sports and skill game range.
Racing Simulators
Racing machines are a strong choice when guests want direct competition.
We offer several racing simulator choices, including F1, Daytona Deluxe, Mario Kart DX, and MotoGP.
Our F1 Racing Simulator rental includes a racing seat, screen, game console, cables, setup, and collection.
For larger events, two racing stations can create a simple head-to-head challenge.
LED Air Hockey
Air hockey is another easy two-player option.
Our LED Air Hockey Table measures 2.13m by 1.22m. It needs one 13-amp power point.
We also advise leaving about one metre of space at each playing end. That extra room helps players move without blocking nearby activities.
Claw and Gashapon Machines
Prize machines work well when you want to combine games with giveaways.
We offer claw machines in several sizes and styles. They can hold suitable toys, gifts, or campaign items.
For smaller spaces, our Small Gashapon Machine measures about 0.3m wide and uses no power. This makes it useful for registration desks and compact booths.
For larger displays, planners can also consider theLED Giant Gashapon Machine.
Retro and Rhythm Games
Add lighthearted nostalgia with Japanese rhythm machines and arcade classics:
Multi-Game Arcades: Classic upright cabinets loaded with Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Street Fighter, and digital pinball.
Party Staples: Taiko No Tatsujin (drum rhythm game), Bishi Bashi Channel (frantic button-mashing mini-games), and Dance Rush Stardom bring vibrant music and laughter to social lounges.
How to Choose Arcade Games for Your Event
Start with your venue rather than the machine list.
Check these five points before booking:
- Guest profile: Think about age groups and expected attendance.
- Floor space: Measure the machine and player areas.
- Power supply: Check each machine’s socket needs.
- Delivery access: Review doors, lifts, loading areas, and stairs.
- Game mix: Choose different play styles instead of similar machines.
Keep exits and escape paths clear when planning the layout. The Singapore Civil Defence Force states that escape routes must remain unobstructed for events covered by its temporary-use rules.
For large family events, arcade machines can also be paired with carnival games, bouncy castles, or live food stations.
