Bell-Fruit games dominate IOA performance charts

Bell-Fruit Games’ The Banker Rings Twice is the top performing pub machine for the second successive month, according to the income performance charts produced by the IOA Group. The data, which is based on the net balance levels of 7,000 machines operated by the IOA Group across PubCo locations nationwide, reflects the current dominance in the pub sector of the BFG brand as well as the popularity of licensed gaming products with pub customers.

Confirming the data, Peter Weir, who is responsible for product development and testing on behalf of the IOA Group, said: “Seven of the top ten performing games are from the Bell-Fruit stable and nine of the top ten are licensed products. Games based on the Deal or No Deal franchise occupy four of the top five places, with Barcrest’s Indiana Jones Quest for the Holy Grail remaining in the IOA top ten performers for the second successive month.”

He added: “In terms of the biggest mover month on month, the only non-licensed game – QPS’ Bank Job – has climbed into our top ten at number two. Looking ahead, the games to watch out for include Barcrest’s Tack It Or Leave It, which has been producing fantastic figures; when machine volumes have been sited this model will certainly be in the top ten. Two other Barcrest models, Monty Python Flying Circus and Pac-Man Power Up have both produced good initial test figures.”

The IOA Group is Britain’s largest independent operator of gaming and electronic amusement equipment. Customers include JD Wetherspoon, Greene King, S&NPE, Punch and large numbers of independent multiples spread throughout the UK. The IOA has no manufacturing interests and has access to all machine types and brands.
