LAI Games has stepped up production of its Snapshot photo booth to cope with increasing demand since its release in March.

According to CEO Alan Freimuth, 315 photo booths have already been shipped into the market and operators have reported that first collection figures are between US$400 and $600 per week.

"It’s early days," he said. "The more units we get into the market, the more we gain sales momentum. Times are generally tough for operators but they seem willing to invest in something that will add to their income and not just move coins from one cash box to another.

"A photo booth can add to a location’s income and Snapshot’s size and looks will make it easy to convince site owners they need something for the girls and groups of friends."
