The return of Daytona - and a crop of other innovative games - ensured a successful IAAPA for Sega, the company has concluded.
Daytona Championship USA, Hoopla, Pirate Falls, Maze Escape and Magic Arrow were all newcomers to the Sega booth at the Florida show this year.
Daytona won the prestigious Brass Ring Award for the Best New Product in the Arcade and Video Games category. It had been top of the operators’ buying list because of its instant re-match feature and boost to repeat plays.
The carnival-themed Hoopla skill redemption game, video redemption Pirate Falls, mechanical redemption Maze Escape, merchandiser Magic Arrow, together with the Sega Prize International display, plus Sega Total Solutions for after sales, all combined to make the Sega booth a magnet for visitors.
