Why amusement and arcade operators choose Cantaloupe
Cashless payment adoption in the amusement industry is no longer a differentiator. It’s a baseline expectation. In 2024, 66% of total sales volume at amusement machines processed through Cantaloupe were cashless, with an average transaction value of $6.08. Operators still running cash-only machines are leaving measurable revenue on the table: Cantaloupe’s Engage Pulse card reader is designed to increase sales on coin-operated machines by up to 7x.
The case for cashless goes beyond transaction volume. Every Cantaloupe card reader brings a machine online with telemetry, giving operators real-time sales data and machine performance monitoring across their full fleet, without a physical visit. For amusement operators managing machines across multiple locations, that visibility is the difference between reactive maintenance and proactive fleet management.
Cantaloupe’s amusement solutions are compatible with commercial arcade games, claw machines, dart machines, pool tables, jukeboxes, electronic gaming, and amusement park rides. Both the G11 Pulse Kit and Engage Pulse card reader support pulse interface connections, making them compatible with most coin-operated machines without full hardware replacement.
According to our 2025 Micropayment Trends Report, cashless-enabled machines outperformed cash-only machines with an average ticket size increase of 645%.
Add cashless payments to your arcade machines by equipping a pulse credit card reader, such as the Engage Pulse, Engage Combo Pulse, or G11 Pulse.
Ladder pricing, or linear pricing is available on the Engage Pulse and shows multiple different purchase options at walk-up for the consumer to choose. This encourages consumers to spend more to receive more uninterrupted play attempts at your game machine, resulting in more sales and a better consumer experience.
Seed Live, a free device management tool that comes with the purchase of any Cantaloupe card reader, provides insight into sales, device health, and more for each location. All in a single platform.
Claw machines, commercial arcade games, jukeboxes, pool tables, and more.
The main difference is that the Engage Pulse reader is an all-in-one card reader and telemeter with a full color touchscreen. The G11 Pulse kit includes an individual card reader and individual telemeter.
Technology and software that work for you.
Cantaloupe’s card readers bring your machines online with telemetry, and our device management system helps you track sales data and monitor machine performance in real time. Together, our hardware and software solutions help you run your amusement business smarter than ever before.
