Bell-Fruit takes top spot in latest IOA Group machine income chart

Bell-Fruit Games has secured itself number one spot in June’s IOA Group Pub Gaming Machine Income chart with the top earning Deal Or No Deal - Live the Dream.

In total Bell-Fruit has four entries in the chart, all variants of its ultra-successful Deal Or No Deal licence.

Devil Of A Deal, manufactured by Barcrest Group’s Red Gaming offshoot, was the next biggest earner, with Barcrest Games’ Take It Or Leave It–Crazy Trails and Rainbow Riches – Murphy’s Millions both taking up prominent positions in the top ten.
QPS, which has three machines in the chart, saw a strong cashbox performance from its latest AWP, Shoot For The Stars.

The IOA Group is the UK’s largest independent operator of gaming and electronic amusement equipment, with customers including JD Wetherspoon, Greene King, Punch and large numbers of independent multiples throughout the UK.

Because it has no manufacturing interests its Pub Gaming Machine Income Chart is regarded as the most accurate and transparent in the industry.

Peter Weir, CEO of the IOA Group, commented: “Bell-Fruit Games has secured the biggest representation of AWPs in June's IOA Top Ten with no fewer than four models including the highest income earner, Deal Or No Deal - Live the Dream. There is a healthy distribution of manufacturers with four games creators included in the chart.

“Developments outside of the top ten have seen Red Gaming’s Casino Las Vegas progressing from primary to secondary test with Bell-Fruit Games’ Deal or No Deal Red Mist going straight to secondary test. Barcrest’s Star Wars Death Star Assault has made a great start on primary test, but perhaps the most interesting gaming product to keep an eye on is Coronation Street - 50th Anniversary from the QPS stable.”
