Company Profile: BuyBack Booth
This year’s annual list of manufacturers’ most recent
products includes a heap of brand new arcade games to
be released this fall and early next year.
Play Meter welcomes a new feature this month, which
focuses on the family side of the industry. The first
“Generations” profiles the Sharpe family pinball dynasty,
especially its matriarch, Ellen.
Usually not associated with the coin-operated amuse-
ment industry, a self-service smart phone-recycling kiosk
from BuyBack Booth just might be the industry’s next big
revenue stream for operators.
