Low Risk. No Cost. Real Results: The Case for Amusement Game Placement
BFC Enterprises • December 15, 2025
In a business climate where every penny counts and competition for consumer attention is fierce, small business owners are constantly exploring ways to boost revenue without adding overhead or operational headaches. That’s where amusement game placement
stands out. It’s a low-risk, no-cost solution that delivers real, measurable results – especially in locations where people naturally gather, wait, or socialize.
During the course of our
70+ years in business, we’ve seen firsthand how strategic game placement
increases foot traffic and
customer dwell time while creating sustainable passive revenue streams that support long-term growth.
And it’s not just traditional locations like family entertainment centers and arcades that benefit. Amusement games perform just as well in non-traditional locations, such as bars, breweries, and restaurants, where they encourage guests to stay longer and spend more. Bowling alleys and movie theaters benefit by capturing pre- and post-event traffic with easy impulse play, while convenience stores, truck stops, and travel centers are able to turn quick stops into repeat visits. Even laundromats and car washes benefit by transforming idle time into entertainment – and profit.
If people are already there, amusements give them a reason to stay, play, and spend. And if your space has foot traffic and just a few square feet to spare, amusement games can become a consistent, reliable source of passive income.

Passive Revenue that Adds Up
Amusement games do more than just entertain – they generate consistent income. Whether it’s a classic arcade game, claw machine, or interactive game station, these devices:
- Capture consumer interest in-venue
- Encourage repeat interactions
- Produce per-play earnings with virtually no ongoing effort
Over time, these small interactions turn into meaningful revenue contributions, especially when stacked across multiple machines or high-traffic locations.
Increased Dwell Time = Bigger Sales
Games don’t just earn money on their own – they influence customer behavior in ways that benefit your entire operation. Guests who stop to play tend to linger longer, which correlates with higher food, beverage, and merchandise spend. Studies show that the longer customers stay, the more they’re likely to purchase – transforming entertainment into an indirect driver of:
- Higher average check totals
- More frequent visits
- Improved customer satisfaction
