We created Champions Coin Machines Services three years ago to bring the quality of a regional mall game room to truck stops and travel plazas. Too many game vendors treat these locations like they're bowling-alleys, bars or convenience stores. The games are old. They're dirty and they're serviced infrequently, if at all.

But at Champions, we bring a professionalism to the truck stop and travel plaza game room and in the process, we increase revenue for the truck stop operator.

Too many operators make the mistake of figuring they've got a captive audience in truckers and other travelers. And, yes, it's true that the trucker will throw a couple of quarters in the pinball machine to pass the time. But why not give him a really good product, so he spends more time and money in your site. Our success in the malls, where we're competing for customers with other vendors, has shown us exactly what it takes to pull people in and keep them there.

Our mall stores and truck stops are used as factory test sites for a number of different game manufacturers. We get the prototypes and provide the factory with feedback about the game. So we get an early read if there's a great game coming down the pike, and our game sites get it before anyone.
