James Ko, president of Andamiro USA, has left the company with immediate effect, having been with the manufacturer since 2000. During his time at the company, Ko built Andamiro into a well recognised brand in the coin-op industry and his decision to leave the company was a surprise to all, according to Satinder Bhutani.

In a separate statement Ko explained he will be setting up his own company - Pipeline - which he will introduce some "very viable coin-op products" through at the upcoming Amusement Expo in Las Vegas.
