Mickey & Friends: Andamiro’s New 6-Player Coin Pusher Combines Cutting-Edge Gameplay Gimmicks and 2 Card Series
GOYANG-SI, South Korea, and IRVING, Texas—November 10, 2026— Andamiro Co. Ltd. and Andamiro USA Corp. today announced the release of Mickey & Friends, a new six-player coin pusher that combines lively coin play, physical bonus features and two collectible card series in a large-format game designed for high-volume locations. Making its official debut at IAAPA Expo in Orlando, Fla., in November, Mickey & Friends brings operators cross-generational IP recognition and unrivaled earnings potential.
Andamiro’s newest coin pusher presents six individually themed player stations in a striking hexagonal footprint. Its colorful, highly visible cabinet is designed as a centerpiece or island attraction, creating a Mickey & Friends theme-park microcosm on the game room floor.
Gameplay begins with a familiar pusher objective, but Mickey & Friends gives players more control over the action. A joystick positions the coin shooter, and a button fires coins onto the two-level playfield. Players work toward two objectives: moving collectible cards toward the prize edge and directing coins through checker targets.
Each successful checker advances the station’s physical balloon one step while also contributing to the game’s immediate ticket-redemption play. As the balloon rises, players encounter two Mini Spin events that award bonus plays or Auto Fire, a 15-second automatic coin-firing feature. Reaching the top of the balloon triggers the game’s central Big Spin event.
Big Spin is the centerpiece of Mickey & Friends’ collectible card system. The wheel stops at one of eight Disney character positions corresponding to eight rotating card plates. The matching plate moves into position and flips, dropping its cards directly onto the player’s pusher field. Players then work to push those cards over the pusher table edge.
After a card drop, the empty character plate is automatically replenished. Three card storage and dispensing mechanisms serve the rotating assembly: two supply Friends Series cards and one supplies the premium Super Series cards. The plates index to the appropriate dispenser, where the configured quantity and type of cards are automatically loaded for subsequent play.
The two card collections create separate redemption pursuits. The Friends Series features eight Mickey & Friends character cards and awards a 2,000-ticket bonus for a complete set. The Super Series consists of four premium character cards and awards 5,000 tickets for a complete set.
Mickey & Friends also continues an Andamiro pusher tradition: a dual-reward model combining immediate ticket redemption with the longer-term pursuit of collectible cards and completed-set bonuses. In addition to card awards, operators can configure ticket payouts associated with checker hits, coins pushed from the playfield and accumulated score.
MECHANICAL ACTION TAKES CENTER STAGE
Mickey & Friends is designed to emphasize physical movement rather than relying primarily on video displays. Its mechanical choreography moves from joystick-directed coin play to checker hits, the rising balloon, Mini Spin and Big Spin, followed by the character-plate card drop and automatic replenishment.
“Our goal was to create authentic mechanical engagement and give players more control over the experience,” said Magic Koo, Andamiro Co. ’s lead designer on the project. “The joystick-directed coin play, rising balloon, Mini Spin, Big Spin and flipping card plates all create physical movement that players can see and anticipate, while providing a show for surrounding guests. Each feature leads naturally to the next, so the game is simple to understand while giving players several objectives to pursue.”
That effect was evident during field testing. Andamiro observed that the six-player configuration encouraged group play: activity at one or two stations attracted additional players to the game. Big Spin and its card-drop sequence were particularly effective at attracting attention, while the Disney characters and collectible cards appealed to children and adults alike.
Early operating results also demonstrated the game’s earning potential. At two U.S. test locations, Mickey & Friends ranked No. 1 among games at the locations in every reported week. The tests, conducted at a Midwest FEC/food venue and a multi-attraction leisure center in the south-central U.S., showed consistently strong earnings and player engagement, with utilization at the Midwest location exceeding 70% each week. Andamiro’s pusher maintained the top ranking at both locations throughout their respective test periods.
“Mickey & Friends brings together several things that are very powerful in today’s game room: a globally recognized group of characters, familiar pusher play, collectible cards and a large mechanical attraction that people notice from across the room,” said Drew Maniscalco, president of Andamiro USA. “It has immediate appeal for families and players of different ages, but it also has the depth and repeat-play qualities operators want. The response during testing — both from players and in the earnings — gives us a lot of confidence in this game.”
For operators, the result is a game with several complementary selling points: one of the world’s most recognized groups of characters, intuitive pusher play, player-controlled coin placement, substantial mechanical action, two card-collection programs and strong early earnings.
Mickey & Friends accommodates six players and measures 72 inches wide by 73 inches deep by 102 inches high (1,830 by 1,863 by 2,581 mm). The game weighs approximately 1,653 pounds (750 kg) and consumes approximately 1,250 watts.
GROWING COLLABORATION
Andamiro’s partnership with Disney began in 2020 with the launch of its Marvel Avengers coin pusher, which remains one of the company’s bestselling pushers. The collaboration has since expanded across some of Disney’s most prominent franchises, with Spider-Man and Star Wars joining Andamiro’s pusher portfolio in 2023 and 2024, respectively. In 2026, the partnership grew further with two limited-edition game adaptations supporting major theatrical releases: The Mandalorian Coin Pusher, developed in connection with Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, and Avengers Roller Race & Battle, a novel ball-rolling redemption game tied to Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday. Mickey & Friends now extends the relationship to Disney’s classic character portfolio.
Mickey & Friends will be available exclusively through Betson Enterprises in North America. The game will make its industry debut at IAAPA Expo 2026 in Orlando, Fla., with units on display in Betson’s booth S2907 and Andamiro’s booth S1800. Following an initial limited rollout, broader availability is expected in late February 2027.
