Next-Generation Arcade Games & Smart Payment Systems

A Smarter Way to Operate Small-Format Arcades

Mini arcades and dedicated crane shops are becoming an increasingly attractive format for shopping centres, entertainment precincts and other high-traffic locations.

They can occupy relatively small footprints, require limited infrastructure and, when designed correctly, can operate with little or no on-site staffing.

MC Global Games combines decades of amusement industry experience with QR Pay Now technology to provide a practical, low-cost path to a completely cashless arcade.

Designed for Unattended Operation

One of the major advantages of a cashless crane shop or mini arcade is the ability to operate efficiently without requiring a permanent attendant.

Payments are processed electronically, machine activity is reported automatically, and operational information is available remotely.

This can significantly change the economics of a small arcade location.

Instead of designing the business around staffing requirements, operators can consider smaller locations, longer operating hours and sites that may not have been commercially viable under a traditional staffed arcade model.

No Cash. No Tokens. No Attendant Required.

Traditional unattended arcades often still rely on cash, token changers or dedicated card systems.

QR Pay Now changes that.

A compact payment and control device can be integrated into each machine, allowing players to pay directly using their mobile phone with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card.

For repeat play, customers can also use a phone-based Token Wallet, purchasing digital tokens and using them throughout the location without needing a physical token dispenser, plastic card or dedicated app.

The result is a completely contactless location.

There is no cash to collect, no token changer to refill and no physical payment cards to issue or manage.

Know Which Games Are Earning Their Floor Space

Every machine occupies valuable space.

QR Pay Now’s playtime graphs and machine-level reporting make it easy to see which games customers are actually playing—and which they are walking past.

Instead of waiting weeks or months to identify a poor performer, operators can quickly compare machines and make informed decisions.

  • Change the price.
  • Change the prizes.
  • Change its position.
  • Or replace it with something that performs better.
  • The location can be continually optimised around actual customer behaviour rather than guesswork.

See What’s Happening Without Being There

Removing the attendant doesn’t mean losing visibility.

The QR Pay Now platform provides detailed reporting and machine-level information from the location.

Operators can remotely understand:

  • Revenue by location and individual
  • Number of plays
  • When customers are playing
  • Peak trading periods
  • Play activity throughout the day and week
  • High-performing machines
  • Low-performing machines
  • Machine connectivity and status
  • Collection and transaction information

This turns a small unattended arcade into a measurable, data-driven operation.

One Location. Multiple Ways to Pay.

Customers can simply walk up and play.

  • Scan or tap at the machine and pay using Apple Pay, Google Pay or card.
  • Token Wallet
  • Purchase digital tokens on the phone and use them across participating machines within the arcade.
  • The operator can also create wallet pricing and promotional strategies that encourage customers to purchase more play value and remain in the location longer.
  • No app download is required.

QR PAY NOW PAYMENT SOLUTIONS

With over 100 years of combined experience in the arcade, vending, and amusement industry, our team brings together development engineers, arcade technicians, and operational experts who understand pulse-based machines to their core. That practical experience shapes everything we do, from how we design our hardware to how we support our industry. We know what works, what fails, and what really matters when machines are live, customers are playing, and venues are busy.

Core Values

Operator-Centric Innovation

We design hardware and software with the operator in mind. Whether building high-margin automated vending machines or plug-and-play cashless controllers, our goal is to increase your revenue, reduce servicing hours, and minimize operational hassle.

Our Mission

To empower venue operators, route managers, and entertainment venues by delivering high-earning amusement machines and seamless cashless payment technologies that eliminate friction, simplify management, and elevate the player experience.

Our Vision

Traditional coin and card-based payment systems haven’t kept pace with how today’s players expect to pay. We created QR Pay Now to fill that gap, a fast, flexible, and cost-effective QR code payment solution purpose-built for unattended machines.
Whether you’re operating a single pool table or managing hundreds of machines across multiple venues, QR Pay Now simplifies payments without the cost or complexity of traditional contactless terminals. It’s mobile-first, operator-friendly, and designed to get your machines earning faster.

To Powering the Future of Amusement

MC Global Games has spent decades designing and manufacturing amusement equipment.

Today we combine that experience with QR Pay Now’s payment and IoT technologies to help operators modernise arcades, pool tables, capsule machines, vending and other unattended equipment.

Whether integrating new payment technologies into existing machines or developing custom electronic solutions, our engineering heritage allows us to bridge traditional amusement equipment with today’s connected world.

Built on Experience

Technology changes.

Understanding the amusement industry doesn’t.

MC Global Games was founded on designing, manufacturing and supporting commercial amusement equipment.

Over the years we’ve worked with:

  • Arcade operators
  • Route operators
  • Family Entertainment Centres
  • Vending companies
  • Distributors
  • OEM manufacturers

This practical experience gave us an intimate understanding of machine electronics, player behavior, revenue generation and field servicing.

Today that knowledge forms the engineering foundation behind QR Pay Now.

Rather than simply providing payment solutions, we understand how machines are built, how operators collect revenue, how venues manage equipment and how to integrate technology without disrupting existing infrastructure.

That experience makes all the difference.

This makes the model particularly suited to:

Crane Shops

• Mini Arcades

• Shopping Centre Locations

• Unattended Game Rooms

• Route Locations

• Capsule & Prize Vending

Built by People Who Understand Arcade Machines

The difference is not simply the payment technology.

MC Global Games has spent many years designing, manufacturing and working with commercial amusement equipment.

We understand how arcade machines operate in the real world.

That experience supports the ongoing development of QR Pay Now—from low-cost hardware integration and machine interfaces through to remote monitoring, payment technology and the operational tools operators actually need.

We don’t approach an arcade machine as somewhere to attach a payment terminal.

We understand the machine behind it.
