SMART INDUSTRIES INTRODUCES NEW CRANE: "BONUS SPIN"
Smart Industries has been creating interesting and innovative cranes for over 20 years, and they're not stopping anytime soon. Smart's latest offering, just in time for the ASI show, is the "Bonus Spin" crane. With this crane, the only one of its kind, customers get the chance to play the standard claw game on the left side of the playfield, and if they win a prize, a wheel on the front of the game starts spinning. If the customer can stop the wheel on a "winner" space, the crane dispenses one of the bonus prizes (higher-value items like cameras, video games, iPods, etc.) from the right side to them. This generates more revenues for operators, because their customers perceive this extra chance to win as an added value to most other cranes. Bonus Spin currently comes in a 41" cabinet with a dual prize detection system, two U.S. coin mechanisms and room to add a bill acceptor, and Smart's Exclusive 1 Year Limited Warranty.

UNITED DISTRIBUTING CREATES PARTNERSHIP WITH SMART INDUSTRIES
Smart Industries is pleased to announce its partnership with The United Distributing Company. UDC, located in London, will be the exclusive distributor in the U.K. for Smart's new "Roll 2 Win" game, as well as the 4-player and 8-player "Moving Castle" cranes.
Smart Industries has been well-known in the U.S. as the leading crane manufacturer, with over 20 years of experience. They have also created many other amusement games, from photo booths to self-merchandisers to vending/redemption machines and ticket centers. "In recent years, our games have become increasingly popular in Europe," said Jeff Smart, the company's president. "We are confident that UDC will be a tremendous help in expanding our presence in the U.K."
UDC's Michael Green added,"Smart Industries latest games, especially Roll 2 Win, are perfect for us. And like Smart, we pride ourselves on not just helping customers through a sale, but with any parts or technical support they may need." UDC has plenty of experience with supporting customers, with their dedicated spares department and full diagnostic workshop, which will be of great assistance to customers in the U.K. "We make sure we provide the best support we can for our products," said Jeff Smart, "but it becomes more difficult to do that for our customers outside of the U.S. We know that UDC will be able to help us provide these services at a more local level in the U.K."
"Roll 2 Win" is a coin roll-down game where players try to line their coins up with lanes of different ticket values to win. The game features a flat-screen video monitor which plays music videos, animation, or advertising, and can be customized to an operator's needs. "Moving Castle" is a crane game where up to eight players move their claws forward and back to grab prizes from a moving playfield.
For more information or to purchase games from UDC, contact Michael Green at michael@udc.co.uk or 011-44-020-8965-707.

You can even create your own media or commercials for the video monitor, or have Smart Industries help create them for you.
With Roll 2 Win, players aim their U.S. made coin mechanisms, insert a coin or token, and let it roll down a moving conveyor belt towards ticket values at the end of the playfield (ticket values are operator-adjustable). Other features include ticket dispensers, huge coin boxes, digital displays, and an Exclusive One Year Limited Warranty on certain parts. As always, toll-free technical support from Smart Industries is also included.
Roll 2 Win was shown at the AAMA Summer Gala, and the response from distributors was amazing! In addition, beta tests of the game have shown incredible revenues, exceeding expectations of veteran operators. Roll 2 Win will be available in September, but Smart pre-sold dozens of units to distributors after the Gala, so make sure to order yours from your distributor today. This game is one for the ages!

UPDATES MAKE TOY CHEST CRANES EVEN BETTER!
You asked for it, and we've delivered! Operators have been asking Smart Industries for additional improvements to set Toy Chest cranes above the rest. We've answered by re-designing the consoles in our 31" and 45" Toy Chest cranes to include a standard Double Coin Mechanism and room for an optional Dollar Bill Acceptor. We've also re-designed the console tops to make routine servicing of these machines even easier! Just flip the clasps inside the console, and the console top swings open for easy access.
In addition, we have a new version of our 45" Toy Chest crane, designed for large prizes, which fits through standard doorways! Operators have been asking for this inexpensive crane that will handle larger prizes, yet still fits through a standard doorway. Now you can get a purple 45" Toy Chest, which still has a 45" width and large playfield, but with a 33" depth (the same as our 31" Toy Chest) so you can easily fit it into more locations.

THE SMART PRIZE CENTER: NOW WITH DATABASE AND A NEW LOOK!
Last year, Smart Industries introduced the Prize Center, which takes tickets, counts and shreds them, and vends prizes and ticket change. Now the Prize Center has a new option for locations that want an easy prize redemption solution. The latest version of the Prize Center can still do all this, but also comes equipped with a database system, which prints numbered receipts for ticket credit and remembers how many tickets each code is worth and whether or not they have been used. This means kids can print receipts for their ticket credits, save these receipts, then return later and enter in the codes from many receipts to claim bigger prizes! This encourages a lot of repeat business!
As with the original Prize Center, you can choose Bulk Dispensing Cabinets or Coil Dispensing Cabinets, and you can mix and match either type up to 4 cabinets per Master Unit. This allows you to vend a variety of sizes and types of prizes. The standard Prize Center setup, with 1 Bulk Cabinet and 1 Coil Cabinet, can hold up to 1400 prizes! The Prize Center also works with selected Card Reader Systems.
No matter what style of Prize Center you choose, Smart is now including a brand new decal package and mirrors (on the inside of the Coil Dispensing Cabinets) for no extra charge, to make the overall look more exciting. The new decals for the Database version will also make it easy for customers to understand how to use tickets or receipts to claim ticket credits. LEARN MORE

SMART LASER CRANE KITS ARE READY!
Operators are saying that this will be the next big innovation to the classic crane game! A laser beam follows the path of the claw and shines down into the playfield, so the customers can precisely line up the claw with the prize they're targeting. And now, Smart Industries has developed a patented laser beam kit for all their cranes, whether you buy a new Smart Laser Crane or want to add the laser system onto an existing crane. Each Laser Crane kit comes complete with all the parts and instructions to hook it up, and even a new decal which lets your customers know what makes this crane so different from the others they're used to! Smart is even working on ways to connect their Laser Crane Kit to other brands of cranes, so call today to request a kit for your specific type of crane! See our flyer here.

The proven Smart Ticket Center has been trusted by operators for over 10 years!
