Show Coverage -- This month's issue of RePlay is packed with first-hand coverage from the AMOA and Fun Expos, which were held last month in Las Vegas. Literally hot off the press, you are holding a thorough look at both shows including booth-by-booth coverage, an update on association news and events including AMOA's 60th birthday celebration and a complete catalog of new games debuted at the conventions.
IAAPA on the Way -- No sooner have you unpacked your suitcase from AMOA and Fun Expos, or returned from the latest distributor open house, then it's time to start making plans for the mega-parks show that IAAPA is staging next month in Orlando, Fla.
Mr. President -- Russ Mawdsley of Russell Hall in Holyoke, Mass., became the new president of AMOA at last month's association show in Vegas. He becomes the second operator to follow his father to the group's top spot. Meet Russ and learn what he plans to do as president.
All in the Family -- Julie Nordeen shares the helm of one of the most recognized companies in coin-op, Stansfield Vending of Wisconsin. From the slopes to boardroom, get to know Julie, daughter of industry legend Jim Stansfield Jr., a little better through our portrait in Thumbnail Sketch.
Cranium Logic -- Ed Cappola of C-M Novelty-Plush explains how incorporating cranes into his operations bolstered the bulk vending company enough to make several strategic business moves, expanding its coverage from Maryland to Connecticut.
40 Under 4 -- We're in the home stretch of our Operator Interface series as five more amusement and vending professionals of the younger generation share their stories and perspectives. Then check out the discussion on iPod and Guitar Hero Nights culled from RePlay's blog.
Redemption Richers -- Skee-Ball's new Strike It Rich, this month's Spotlight Special, is an exciting, stop-action game that challenges players to stop the scrolling LED light ball in the highlighted ticket area. If a player reaches the final level, they have the opportunity to play for a progressive jackpot.
Start Your Engines -- Global VR is now shipping the new Need for Speed Carbon dedicated game. Operators can choose a standard cabinet that comes with a 32" LCD display or a deluxe version with a 42" LCD display, unique attraction marquee and molded side panel. The factory has also released team and track updates for their popular NASCAR driver.
Basketball Anyone? Sized properly for youngsters, Shirts and Skins Jr. is a kiddie basketball game where players earn points for each basket they make with more points per shot as they approach the sounding of the shot clock.
What's New? A lot! Take a look at the brand-new product on display at the AMOA and Fun Expos in RePlay's traditional post-show catalog.
