Clena-Flex

Clena-Flex is a unique, 100 per cent skill game from the Namco Bandai Games stable. The biggest selling merchandising device in Japan, Clena-Flex asks players to nudge/push/pull prizes of varying value and size onto a pre-determined drop zone, selected by the operator, using a two-finger grab mechanism. Any combination of nine different tiles in a 3x3 grid can be placed on Clena-Flex's playfield to make a bespoke platform. For example, larger pieces of swag can be placed across a three-tile front, middle or rear strip. A real step forward in prize vending design, this two-player vendor has passed a rigorous technical and income test programme to provide a 'unique display of fun retail'. One of Clena-Flex's key attributes is the longevity of its appeal to players. The product is kept new and vibrant by the introduction of a series of different set-up options, which deliver a new experience and challenge to players, maintaining income levels to their optimum. Taking the total to 15, no fewer than eight new set-ups were released at the start of 2009, with more currently under development.
