ANDAMIRO
Andamiro USA debuted its new SpongeBob Pineapple Arcade machine, a card pusher game, at the recent American Amusement Machine Association (AAMA) Gala.
"The response to the game was really fantastic. This was the first time that distributors and (family entertainment center) operators had a chance to see and play the game in person," said Drew Maniscalco, Vice President of Andamiro.
"The reaction of our customers to the game was very rewarding. Orders received at the Gala have put us in a backorder situation. All new orders will now be shipped in early November." For more information, visit www.andamiro.com.
