By Phil - 4 September 2014
Gamestec has announced a significant business gain involving the biggest name in UK tenpin bowling.
National machine operator Gamestec has been appointed as sole supplier of gaming and amusement equipment for The Original Bowling Company (TOBC), operator of the well-known Hollywood Bowl and AMF Bowling tenpin bowling centres.
Under the terms of the agreement, Gamestec will supply circa 375 products comprising Category C and D gaming machines, SWPs and pool tables across all 43 sites owned by TOBC. The deal sees Gamestec take on the role of specialist gaming operator for TOBC, providing a national service via one of its strategically placed national depots which is supported by local engineers, logistics and collection teams.
More specifically on the product front, Gamestec will be introducing digital gaming into every TOBC location across the UK with its Casino slots offering. The deal also sees the introduction of Bell-Fruit Games’ iconic DEAL OR NO DEAL Winfall, a Cat C title ‘with a twist’ that has garnered a huge fan base of players in pubs throughout the UK.
Will Etherington, National Amusements Manager at TOBC, welcomed the tie-up, said: “We are delighted to announce this major new supply agreement with the UK’s biggest operator of gaming and amusement equipment. TOBC is an innovator and pioneer in tenpin bowling and is keen to engage with specialist partners like Gamestec who share similar qualities. We are looking forward to forging a great partnership with the industry-recognised specialist in machine operating.”
Gamestec Operations Director Peter Collinge added: “Understandably, TOBC demands only the best when it comes to its machine supply requirements.
