Pacific Basin first for Namco Europe
Namco Europe/Brent Sales has made its first entry into the Far East amusements sector with a next generation prize vendor designed for the global marketplace. The London-based company paraded the ‘Froggit Junior' to visitors at the GTI Expo, held in Taipei, Taiwan across 10-12 May.
Namco Europe Product Manager, John Brennan explained: "We have focused our resources over the last three months on developing the small footprint version of Froggit, which made its first appearance at GTI, where it generated significant interest from operators throughout the Far East."
The high impact piece, which has been developed by Namco/Brent's in-house R&D team, is designed for high footfall destination venues including shopping malls, FEC's, theme parks and cinemas. ‘Froggit Junior' includes a bright and well-illuminated prize area capable of accommodating large high value prizes such as Sony PlayStations, digital cameras and MP3 players. Players are required to move through the segments toward the centre for a small prize, with the option to exchange for a chance of jackpot prizes.
Managing Director, John McKenzie commented on the breakthrough: "Apart from our involvement in the US market, this is the first time that Namco Europe has ventured outside its traditional EMEA region. ‘Froggit Junior' has spawned an intercontinental sales leap and we are very keen to continue exploring opportunities in markets across the world with both this and other products in the pipeline."
