Game Never Over

Thank You & Updates Coming – May 2021

We know that you have been waiting for updates from Arcooda for such a very long time, and we will begin to show you our work and vision over this next period.
But before we start, we would like to acknowledge the very loyal and tremendous support we have received from our customers over the many years. We feel tremendous frustration and disappointment that for a variety of reasons we have not been able to ship you our machines.

We would like to acknowledge the dedicated team of both ex staff and current team members who have incredible pride in their work, often working in their own time full of commitment.
Many of our partners/suppliers are still with us. Without their belief in us, many of the project would have never been able to have been started.

We plan to have a month of updates, starting with Game Wizard, and later, our vision for pinball – something we believe will revolutionise the way pinball is played, designed, developed and manufactured.

Thank you for being a part of our family.

Arcooda is Back into Production…..

After recent setbacks, we are now in production with a number of our machines and over these next few months plan to announce major developments which include distribution in USA.

Our office has still water flowing into the building and has caused major disruptions in our work flow, but, we are happy to mention that things are almost back to normal with our China assembled machines, and expect to have Korea production up and running in these next few months. We still have major troubles with supply chain (products/logistics) but as the world slowing adapts to a working relationship with the epidemic, we should see products flowing into the market.

We are really happy to announce that our vision for the next chapter of Arcooda’s vision of home arcade gaming is ready. Just like the Game Wizard Series we started in 2012/13 and still relevant today, we are bringing our Game Wizard 2.0 vision to the market this year. One cabinet, endless gaming options.

The month of May is going to be special, we hope you can be part of our journey.

Fake Anti-Cheater Devices

We continue to receive inquiries for our anti-cheater device and technical help. Please note, we have stopped selling the product for some time now and any products in the market that look exactly like ours are fake products. We have no affiliation with any sellers.
 
Please take caution when purchasing any anti-cheater device in the market.

What Are Anti-Cheater Devices?

Anti-cheater devices are devices which have been designed to stop and deter thieves armed with EMP Jammers or Slot Jammers from robbing coin-operated gaming machines. These Jamming devices send an electronic signal to the pay in module in the machine, which is detected as a payment made by the machine and gives the cheater free credit. However, with an anti-cheater device installed, it detects the electric signal being sent from the cheater’s device and triggers a loud alarm. This alarm should alert staff of the cheater’s presence, and the device can be mounted on the interior or exterior of the machine.

Due to the number of fake products in the market misrepresenting themselves as Arcooda products, Arcooda’s anti-cheater device was discontinued and is no longer available.

Arcooda Introduces the Dynasty Vertical Pinball Machine

We have kickstarted our Arcooda Video Pinball: Take 2 Relaunch with the introduction of a new, versatile machine; the Dynasty Vertical Pinball machine.

Dynasty Vertical Pinball Machine

The Dynasty Vertical Pinball machine takes a horizontal video pinball machine and turns it into a space-saving alternative. It adds its own unique features to make it one of the most innovative products on the market. It features impressive programmable LED lighting, three high definition monitors for the backglass, playfield and DMD, side buttons for pinball games and more!

However, the Dynasty Vertical Pinball machine is more than just a pinball machine. Users can easily link their Steam accounts and PCs for arcade gameplay and access to endless games. The machine has a twin set of joystick buttons on its control panel to recreate the classic arcade feel on the one machine.

For more information, keep an eye on Arcooda’s social media channels or contact their office at sales@arcooda.com. We’ll be making periodic announcements for more product information.

Arcooda Now Offering Kinect Support Free

Arcooda are happy to announce Kinect support will now come free with their PC Steam Cabinet Mode, Generic Cabinet Standalone and Arcooda Cabinet version software. This means users who have already purchased any of these products will have access to this feature at no extra cost.

To access this capability, Arcooda have advised customers with the Generic or Arcooda Cabinet software they will need to manually update their firmware. Customers with the Steam Unlock version will have this feature automatically installed by update. Arcooda still have software packages available until sold out. 

Game play with Kinect is as easy as plugging your Kinect into your cabinet and enabling Kinect game play in the options menu. This will mean the Kinect camera will track your body movements, adjust the game play visual to the angle you are standing on and show the player a dynamic rendering of the 3D playfield.

Wired EMP Anti Cheater Device with WIFI Support

Wired EMP Anti Cheater Device with WIFI Support – our EMP Anti cheater just got better with even more advanced functions to stop the cheaters.

There are a number of cheating devices on the market, and Arcooda has been working hard to catch cheaters so that they do not effect your business. EMP cheaters work by sending an electromagnetic pulse to the coin mechanism, bill acceptor or game board in order to cheat credits from the machine. For professional cheaters, they can steal thousands of dollars from each machine on a weekly basis.
