ICE's brand new Ice Age two player video redemption game

With Ice Age’s newest movie Continental Drift set to hit the big screens this summer, our game continues to receive great reviews. The two-player, video-redemption game features two sets of interactive acorn “pads.” Players use these to try to win the big ticket bonus by timing their hit of the acorns to crack the ICE all the way through to the operator adjustable center BONUS ring.

ICE Vice President of Sales, Joe Coppola, was excited to announce that one of the world’s highest grossing animated movie licenses of all time is now a stunning two player skill redemption game. Ice Age has tested incredibly well and is on track to become one of the bestselling video redemption games of all time, following in the footsteps of the popular movies. The Ice Age brand has brought in over $1,900,000,000 billion dollars in revenue over the first three movies, with a fourth set to be released July of 2012.

Coppola stated, “We again have teamed up with Playmechanix, who created the fantastic software and game play, and we feel together we have taken video redemption to a new level with this creation. The combination of simple but challenging game play, one of the best movie licenses in the world, and a stunning cabinet with probably one of the most captivating marquees ever designed for a redemption game, makes this a great redemption game to kick off 2012!”

Coppola finished by adding, “ the next Ice Age movie, which is the due out mid July 2012, will be the 4th movie in this series so we know this property has had tremendous appeal over the years, is highly recognizable, and will be a hot license for years. As this is the fourth title, we also know Ice Age has a strong global following and appeals to all ages and demographics.”

Ice Age is a 2 player game that allows players to play simultaneously, hitting Scrat’s acorns in an attempt to crack the ice and hit the center BONUS ring on the horizontally mounted 42” LCD monitor. To further entertain the line of eager players, two 23” monitors mounted in the marquee provide previews of the 2012 release of Ice Age: Continental Drift and highlights the big BONUS. This centerpiece attraction will again pull in players from all over the arcade!

ICE VP of Sales, Joe Coppola, said the company believes that offering some higher value wheels, which better accommodate the games in the field that are being played at a higher cost per play, will be beneficial to all. ICE came up with the new wheel values after significant testing and have found these new values give the player a much more interesting “risk/reward” scenario when they reach the final case and have the opportunity to spin the MEGA Bonus wheel.

ICE is encouraging operators of the MEGA Deal or No Deal to proactively change out their wheels BEFORE the upcoming Holidays to maximize the earnings potential of this great new ugrade kit. Increase AND prolong your locations earnings on the best video redemption game ever made TODAY!
