Next up on the IAAPA 2025 preview roster is UNIS. I remember first coming across them back in 2009, and they have come a long way since that time. They lean heavy into redemption & crane product, which is not our main focus here, so we’ll cover their new video titles first, then get into the prize/ticket stuff. As is often the case, they have a lot of floor space at the show, with two big booth spaces, #1035 & #1335...
Make: Community Editor David Groom will be on hand at MF SZ to get into the nitty gritty of the hardware capital of the world and the makers and innovators who drive it forward. “This will be my third Maker Faire Shenzhen in a row, and it’s easily one of my favourites! Shenzhen is an amazing city, which has to be seen to be believed. You may know the Bay Area of California as a hub of innovation, but...
Last year I decided I needed a forge so that I could advance my blacksmithing skills as another technique for my sculpting. There are many commercial models available but, being retired, I have more time than money so I decided to try my hand at making one. To start, I studied YouTube videos of DIY forges. There are many and I watched them all. None were exactly what I wanted so I set out to design a hybrid. I researched...

Back in July, the surprise story of the Summer broken by us was the quiet appearance of a Resident Evil 2 arcade lightgun shooter from Bandai Namco and Capcom on location test in the UK. Thanks to the game’s big name, it was quickly picked up by various other gaming news outlets, with the test soon ending after that. At the Tokyo Game Show in September it was then officially unveiled as Resident Evil 2/Biohazard RE:2 Arcade, with...
As a new doggo foster for Rocket Dog Rescue in Oakland, CA I had to go check out their Pop-Up Adoption Event Craft Fair at the Ellen Shershow Photography Studio this past weekend. What a great little event to check out some cool crafts from local artisans and adorable pups needing forever homes. The whole place was thriving with creatives, animal lovers, shoppers, and supporters of the community. Several of the local artisans were also giving a portion of their...
The next company we’re taking a look at for IAAPA 2025 is Andamiro USA. This year, the company is putting a little more video content out than normal; if you are new to the site, we tend to put most of our focus on video games instead of redemption, since the latter doesn’t really need a “signal boost” as such. Andamiro tends to be heavily focused on supporting the redemption side of the industry, which we will discuss briefly, but...
Arduino Team — November 10th, 2025 In particularly well-organized professional settings, you’ll find toolrooms where employees can check out the tools they need for specific jobs. The system prevents tools from walking off or going missing. Wouldn’t it be nice to have something like that in your own workshop? Bob Clagett designed an Arduino UNO Q-based system that achieves that dream. This system can’t actually locate a missing drill or 10mm socket, but it...
IAAPA Expo 2025, the premier trade show for all things related to commercial amusements, is only a week away. For today’s focus on new arcade entertainment to be found there, we have newcomers Dark Escape Games. They will debut two “5-minute escape rooms” that are in a relatively small, arcade-sized footprint there, and they are potentially the most innovative producer that we’ll see at the event. Located at the AVS Companies booth (#1918, Games & Arcade Pavilion), those two...
