The
2018 European Amusement & Gaming Expo
(EAG) takes place in England's capital from Jan. 16 to 18 (Tuesday-Thursday). Once again, EAG will be held at the ExCel London Exhibition Centre, near the historic Docklands, and will collocate with the Visitor Attractions Expo. Sponsored by BACTA, Great Britain's amusement machine trade association, EAG continues a seven decades-long tradition of a January coin-op trade show in London.
Bandai Namco Amusement Europe
Ltd. is among the many exhibitors and is expected to have one of the largest equipment displays. In addition to its original equipment lines, BNAE represents several major amusement machine OEMs in the UK and European Union. Andamiro is one of those manufacturers, and here's what BNAE will show for us:
Circus Ball Drop
Despicable Me Jelly Lab
Paw Patrol
Pump It Up LX
SpongeBob Soccer Stars
Tight Rope
Bandai Namco's huge hit game,
DC Superheroes
, will also be on display. The token-action game features four cabinet sides and player stations, each featuring legendary DC superheroes and villains. Making the game more interesting are trading cards that drop onto the playfield. There are seven hero cards (Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Green Lantern and Flash) and seven villain cards (Joker, Lex Luthor, Darkseid, Cheetah, Penguin, Captain Cold and Harley Quinn). Fans can collect the cards, while others can turn them in for redemption points. DC Superheroes, introduced a year ago, is powered by Andamiro's mechanical and electronic arcade systems and marketed by Bandai Namco worldwide.
You'll find these Andamiro games in Bandai Namco booth No. 620. Andamiro USA chief operating office
Min Lee
will be there to answer questions.
