funworld is selling Stacker in 14 European countries!

Since the beginning of the year funworld has been distributing “Stacker” prize vending machines from LAI Games in all of Europe, excluding Belgium, Great Britain, Spain and Norway. Meanwhile, the touchscreen innovator renowned for the brand PHOTO PLAY has already been supplying the two versions of “Stacker Club” and “Stacker Giant” in 14 European countries.

“By assuming the general distribution of Stacker in nearly all of Europe funworld has entered a lucrative partnership with LAI Games, which sets a strong course in the coin-operated entertainment branch. Stacker is meanwhile well-established in Central Europe and its market launch in many south-eastern European countries is impressive”, emphasises Josef Öhlinger, funworld ag CEO.

Highest volume countries: Germany and France

In addition to its own set-up in Austria, funworld is executing the general distribution of Stacker very successfully in Germany, Switzerland, France, Greece, Holland, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden, Czechia, Hungary and Cypress. Out of these, Germany and France are the highest selling countries.

Over 700 games are played per machine on average per week, whereas the game figures are higher in Czechia and Poland. However, the simple, Tetris-like game principle and sensational “Point-of-Play” presence guarantees excellent receipts in all European countries.

Kino centres, bowling centres & shopping centres

According to information from hosts, Stacker pays off shortly, whereby this is strongly dependent on the attractiveness of prices and the location. Film centres, bowling centres, shopping centres, railway stations and motorway service areas have proven to be ideal locations. The security system with laminated security glass, security locks and special cash register locking devices is specially adapted by funworld to European standards and has particularly proven its worth here.

Major potential

Stacker is developing in Europe into a genuine guarantee for success and according to Öhlinger is above all interesting for locations, who are already working with crane crab vending machines:

“As the optimal successor to crane machines, Stacker generates excellent profits, which clearly outshine the revenue from classic crane machines, as the balance sheet of our own set-up in Austria shows, among other evidence. Stacker is a ‘must have’ for every location and has major market potential throughout Europe.”
