Smart Industries is a privately owned manufacturer of coin operated amusement games, established in 1963 by Gordon Smart as President and his son Jeff Smart as Vice President.

At first, Smart Industries consisted of a street route with 500 games and a 200 piece traveling arcade which appeared at major state fairs on the carnival circuit. In addition, they developed and managed permanent arcades in amusement parks throughout the Midwest, including Adventureland Park in Altoona, Iowa. In 1985, Smart Industries began developing and manufacturing coin operated amusement games. The Bear Claw / Clean Sweep Crane was the first game developed and put into production. Many new games have followed, to include the newest addition to the Smart game family, Hollywood Photos.

Smart Industries has grown from 3 employees to over 120 and continues to grow. The success of the company comes from a dedicated staff working together to produce quality products. Smart Industries continues to increase sales and market share throughout the world. Games are purchased by carnival circuits, amusement parks, arcades, family fun centers, and route operators.

Continued research and innovative game design ensures Smart Industries' continued growth and success.
