Global VR Announces Final Run of NASCAR Racing
From Global VR:
GLOBAL VR is announcing the "last call" for one of the most popular racing games the coin-op industry has seen in many years. A staple in most locations, NASCAR Racing has been a must have since it first appeared on the scene in 2007...
We would like to thank you for the support you have shown in helping GLOBAL VR to make this product such a success. Your loyalty has been very much appreciated.
NASCAR Racing (32” standard or 42” deluxe cabinets) will be available for order until November 30, 2011. Global VR expects to ship all orders on or before 12/31/2011.
Call 1-800-4-WEINER to place your order.
REPOST: We've Lost Our Coolness. Can We Get It Back?
Our founder and namesake, Chuck Weiner, examines the "coolness factor," in coin-op, and the technologies that just might help the industry recapture some of its former glory. This is a must-read for arcade and FEC operators everywhere. Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and read about who (and what) may drive the amusement business for years to come:
Another summer arcade season has come to a close. In my location, it was a very good year, given the stagnant economy. If you’re like most amusement operators (myself included), redemption and instant prize games have driven your earnings all summer long. But you’ve probably noticed it’s harder to capture and keep people’s attention. Let’s face it: in the eyes of the public, coin-op just isn’t cool anymore....(READ MORE)

WEINER'S TIP OF THE MONTH
Arcade cabinets are pretty durable. Their job is to protect the valuable electronics and cash inside from theft, abuse, and general mayhem inflicted by thousands of young people. And they do that job pretty well, but they sure take a beating in the process. Chips, scuffs, and spills can make an otherwise perfectly functional game look like it went fifteen rounds with Muhammad Ali. So what do you do with a game like that? Toss it? Hell no!
If your children's clothes get faded and threadbare, you toss the clothes, not the kids, right? Right?! Think of the cabinet graphics on an arcade game as an outfit. The clothes make the man, as they say. A well-traveled game can sport a new set of duds and be earning for you again in no time. Our Weiner D. print shop can set you up with the custom graphics you need to make your games look like a million. And the best part is, we can do it fast, and we can do it better and for less than the competition. Call us to get a sheet of sample decals and to discuss your needs.
