On show for the first time will be centrepiece Superdeluxe formats of the recently released video drivers, Namco’s Maximum Tune 3 and Raw Thrills’ Fast & Furious Drift, both of which comprise four-unit banks set on a purpose built platform featuring overhead displays, graphics and lighting effect.

A brand new skill vendor from Namco Bandai Games has arrived and test figures show a rise to the top of income charts at some notable seasonal locations in 2007. Another new BNG product is a 100 per cent skill two-player prize vendor, which has passed a rigorous technical and income test programme and makes its Preview debut in full production format.

Making European debuts for Brent/Namco are two modular photo booths produced by renowned US manufacturer, Fantasy Entertainment. ‘Portrait to Anywhere’ offers customers the opportunity to be photographed at over 20 world famous landmarks including the Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, Hollywood, Great Pyramids, Coliseum, Statue of Liberty and Grand Canyon. Further holiday-style treatments and artistic options are also available. ‘Foto Cube’ takes four poses and outputs a ready-cut and self-adhesive edged template ready for the customer to form their own cube. A variety of selectable themes are available with further options for operators to incorporate their own marketing messages.

Licensed from a hit TV game series and manufactured by ICE, a new ticket redemption game has also been added to the Brent/Namco range, which the company believes will be a ‘sure fire winner’. It features in a stylised cabinet incorporating 32-inch LCD screen, multi-button and rollerball console, plus further options of an illuminated platform and stool for ultra realistic show-style atmosphere.

Brent/Namco managing director, John McKenzie commented on the new line-up: “Whilst we firmly believe that our Fun Factory line was already the strongest all-round collection available anywhere on the market, we continue to scour the market and work with partners to introduce the very best innovations. These new additions will give operators plenty to consider, alongside star performers such as Super Bikes, Big Buck Hunter Pro, Jumpin’ Jackpot, Froggit, Family Bowl 2, Crow for Cash, Panzer Elite, and Wheel a Win.”
