Star Wars Pusher Cab L 001IRVING, TX, November 7, 2024— Andamiro, a leader in arcade game innovation, is set to unveil its latest blockbuster title at the upcoming IAAPA Expo in Orlando this November. The STAR WARS™ Coin Pusher, developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm and Disney, brings the iconic Star Wars franchise to the arcade floor in a way that promises to captivate players and deliver solid earnings for operators.

Designed as a two-player game, the Star Wars Coin Pusher features a striking cabinet with authentic imagery and soundscapes from the legendary sci-fi series. Players shoot coins at dynamic targets, earning tickets and coins while winning a series of nine character cards featuring beloved heroes and villains from the Star Wars universe.

The game’s two player sides are themed to the iconic rivalry between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, allowing players to immerse themselves in the Star Wars story. Each side offers a standalone experience, letting players choose between the Dark Side and the Light.

How to Play Star Wars

Intuitive, feature-packed and fun! Players use their timing skills to shoot coins at targets on the rotating wheel. Targets provide opportunities to win tickets, drop character cards or dispense additional coins. A special droplight target activates the pinball skill shot mini game, a standout feature of Star Wars. After striking the “ball shoot” target, the adjacent mini game begins: the player loads the ball and launches it with the plunger, aiming to land the ball in one of the lit targets along the vertical ramp.

There’s more! Sinking the ball into a lit target during the pinball stage activates the Bonus Spin skill stop, awarding tickets or a chance to play the Super Spin game. Successfully landing shots in five lit targets also triggers the Super Spin, offering bigger ticket rewards. Both spin games use a drum-shaped wheel, with prize values displayed on the side and top. For the Super Spin game, the wheel tilts forward, adding a visually dynamic element to Star Wars’ gameplay mechanics.

A Sound Investment for Operators

For arcade operators, the Star Wars Coin Pusher represents more than just an exciting new addition to the game floor – it’s a strong investment. The combination of a legendary brand and engaging game mechanics is designed to attract players of all ages and keep them coming back, increasing foot traffic and revenue. The added element of Star Wars character cards further incentivizes repeat plays, helping operators drive long-term earnings.

“To think that we’d one day collaborate with Lucasfilm on a Star Wars arcade game is a dream come true,” said Andamiro USA president Drew Maniscalco. “Andamiro takes licensing very seriously, aiming to create products that satisfy the licensor’s requirements and deliver authenticity to an IP’s fan base. The Lucas team entrusted us with this venerable title and its iconic assets, staying fully engaged and providing valuable input, which we incorporated into the STAR WARS Coin Pusher. This game is a true collaboration.”

Fun Fact

The Star Wars saga is no stranger to arcade history. Back in the 1980s, the first Star Wars arcade game, a first-person rail shooter released by Atari, allowed players to relive the thrilling trench run from “A New Hope.” Now, the Star Wars Coin Pusher continues this legacy, letting a new generation of fans enjoy the excitement of the galaxy far, far away at their favorite FEC or in their local arcade.

Andamiro’s Star Wars Coin Pusher will be available in January through factory authorized distributors.

You can also see it at the IAAPA Expo in Orlando, FL, Nov. 19-22, in booth 1800.
