Arcade Machines for Soft Play & Indoor Centres – FAQs
Are arcade machines suitable for soft play centres and indoor play centres?
Yes. Arcade machines for soft play centres and indoor play centres are a proven way to increase customer engagement and generate additional revenue. They work especially well in café areas, waiting zones, entrance spaces and exit areas where children and families naturally spend time before and after using the main play facilities.
What is Nayax profit share for soft play centres?
Nayax profit share for soft play centres is a long-term machine placement model where we install contactless arcade machines fitted with Nayax card readers at your venue with no large upfront investment. We manage the installation, servicing and support, and the revenue generated is shared with your soft play centre under an agreed profit share arrangement.
Is there an upfront cost to install arcade machines in a soft play centre?
In many cases, no. We offer arcade machines for soft play centres on a profit share basis, which means suitable venues can benefit from professionally installed machines without the need to buy them outright. This makes it a low-risk way to add an extra income stream to your venue.
Do Nayax arcade machines work well in soft play centres?
Yes. Nayax arcade machines are particularly effective in soft play environments because families increasingly prefer card and contactless payments over coins. Contactless arcade machines make it easier for parents to pay quickly, which can help increase usage and improve the customer experience.
What payment methods do Nayax arcade machines accept?
Our Nayax arcade machines accept debit cards, credit cards, contactless payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay. This makes them ideal for soft play centres, indoor play centres and family entertainment venues where quick and convenient payment options matter.
Are the arcade machines suitable for children?
Yes. We supply family-friendly arcade machines for soft play centres that are suitable for children while still being engaging for older siblings and parents. We focus on machines that work well in family venues and complement the wider indoor play experience.
What types of arcade machines work best in soft play centres?
The best arcade machines for soft play centres are usually easy to use, visually engaging and suitable for family venues. Popular choices include basketball arcade games, skill and reaction games, simple competitive games, compact arcade machines for smaller spaces and family-friendly redemption and amusement machines. We recommend the best machine mix based on your layout, available space and customer footfall.
Where are arcade machines usually placed in soft play centres?
Arcade machines in soft play centres are commonly placed in areas where families naturally pause or wait, including café and seating areas, waiting zones for parents, entrance and reception areas, exit areas to encourage last-minute play and underused corners away from active play equipment. Machine placement is planned carefully to maximise usage while fitting naturally within the venue.
Do you handle maintenance and servicing?
Yes. All of our arcade machines for indoor play centres and soft play venues are fully managed. We handle maintenance, repairs, servicing and support, so your staff do not need to manage the machines day to day.
How does arcade machine profit share work?
With arcade machine profit share, the revenue generated by the machines is tracked through the Nayax system and shared based on agreed terms. This provides a clear and transparent way for soft play centres to earn extra income from arcade machines without the burden of ownership, cash handling or maintenance.
Do staff need to manage the arcade machines?
No. Our fully managed arcade machine service is designed to be hands-off for your team. Payment systems, monitoring, servicing and technical support are all handled by us, allowing your staff to focus on running the venue.
How long are arcade machines installed for?
Most arcade machine installations for soft play centres are long-term, allowing the machines to generate steady revenue over time. Long-term placements also help venues build a stronger entertainment offer for children and families.
Can we start with one arcade machine?
Yes. Many venues start with one arcade machine for a soft play centre and add more machines later once performance is proven. This can be a good way to test the opportunity while keeping the setup simple.
Do you supply arcade machines to soft play centres across the UK?
Yes. We supply and install arcade machines for soft play centres across the UK, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Glasgow, Bristol, Sheffield, Nottingham, Leicester, Newcastle, Cardiff, Southampton, Brighton, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and surrounding areas nationwide.
Why are arcade machines a good fit for indoor play centres?
Arcade machines for indoor play centres are a strong fit because they help create additional entertainment for children, encourage longer visits and provide extra revenue from areas that may otherwise be underused. They can also improve the overall family experience by giving siblings and parents more to do around the main play space.
Can contactless arcade machines increase revenue in a soft play centre?
Yes. Contactless arcade machines can improve convenience for families and reduce the barrier to play, especially in venues where customers may not carry coins. In many cases, contactless payment options can help increase machine usage and overall revenue.
What are the benefits of arcade machines for soft play centres?
The main benefits of arcade machines for soft play centres include additional revenue from unused space, improved customer experience, longer dwell time, family-friendly entertainment, no need for staff to manage machines, fully managed servicing and support, and contactless Nayax payment options. This makes them a practical and scalable addition to many indoor play venues.
