Our Arcade Machines
Classic arcade play. Instant competition. Strong event energy.
What Are Arcade Machines?
Arcade machines are interactive game units that give guests something simple, familiar and competitive to play at an event. They can include classic retro arcade cabinets, basketball arcade games, punch machines, claw machines and other arcade-style experiences designed for quick participation and repeat play.
Exponential Games supplies arcade machine hire for corporate events, expos, brand activations, staff events and product launches across Sydney and Australia. Machines can be used as open-play entertainment, highest-score competitions, branded activations or traffic-driving experiences depending on the event format.
Events That Work Well With Arcade Machine Hire
Arcade machines are a strong fit for event formats where instant recognition, competition and repeat participation matter:
– Corporate events & team days. Add familiar games that guests can play casually or turn into a score-based challenge
– Expos & trade shows. Use a visible arcade machine to stop visitors and give them a reason to engage with your stand
– Brand activations & product launches. Turn the machine into a branded attraction with custom artwork, prizes or competition mechanics
– Conferences & staff events. Add a simple entertainment option that works between sessions or during networking periods
– Retail activations. Give shoppers a reason to pause, play and interact with your brand in-store
– Community, school & sporting events. Create accessible entertainment for mixed audiences and different age groups
If you’re not sure which arcade machine suits your event, the Exponential Games team can help match the right machine to your audience, venue and event goals.
Arcade Machine Hire — Frequently Asked Questions
Can arcade machines be branded?
Yes. Many arcade machines can be customised with branded wraps, signage, artwork or event-specific graphics depending on the machine. This makes arcade machine hire a strong option for brand activations, product launches, corporate events and retail campaigns where the machine needs to feel like part of the campaign.
Are arcade machines suitable for corporate events and expos?
Yes. Arcade machines work well at corporate events, exhibitions and trade shows because they are instantly familiar, easy to understand and naturally competitive. Guests can play, compare scores and come back for another attempt, helping create movement and energy around the stand or event space.
Can you run competitions or leaderboards with arcade machines?
Yes. Selected arcade machines can be used for highest-score competitions, timed challenges, prize giveaways or leaderboard-style activations. Tell us how you want the competition to work and we can recommend the most suitable machine and setup.
Do you operate the arcade machines at the event, or can our team run them?
Both options are available. We can provide an operator to manage the machines, explain the rules and keep the activation moving, which is recommended for larger events or public-facing activations. For simpler setups, we can install the machines and brief your team so they can run them independently.
How much space do arcade machines require?
Space requirements vary by machine. Some arcade machines are compact and work well in booths or smaller event spaces, while larger arcade-style games such as basketball arcade machines need extra clearance for players and spectators. We’ll confirm the exact footprint, access and setup requirements during the booking process.
Where do you deliver arcade machine hire across Australia?
Our primary service area is Sydney, where we handle most corporate events, expos and activations. We also service Melbourne, Brisbane and other capital cities for the right events. Contact us with your location and event details and we’ll confirm availability and logistics.
