ASI Show Coverage -- A large section of this issue is dedicated to our firsthand coverage of the Amusement Showcase International held at the end of March in Las Vegas. We've got an overview story, booth-by-booth coverage, new product catalog and close look at all the special events including seminars, the Big Bar and a special Celebrity Coin-Op Olympics.
Another Spring Show -- The Spring NAMA expo was held in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay convention center during two of the days ASI was also in town. Take a look at the news from the vending side of the business in our report.
Lucky & Good -- The operator group Club Lucky, which has raised many eyebrows across the trade as it launched a national tournament program and struck direct deals with high-profile suppliers, continues to grow and forge new partnerships. RePlay checks in on the exciting and controversial group, which recently held a national summit meeting just before ASI.
A Moment in the Sun -- AMOA returned to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, this spring for the association's mid-year board meeting. Fortunately for the association, this year's meeting was devoid of many of the stressful issues the group faced when it last met there a decade ago.
Meet Mr. Shaffer -- Andy Shaffer, a fourth generation tradester, is the AMOA's newest officer. As the head of a progressive street route operation in Ohio and with a family background in both operations and distribution, Shaffer brings a unique combination of youth and experience to his latest role.
More 40 Under 40 -- RePlay continues its discussion with young operators as part of our 40 Under 40 series of interviews. We continue to seek out the next generation for their ideas and insights on the industry today and tomorrow.
Strategic Fortress -- The transformative power of family entertainment has never been more evident than in the story of Stocktons Entertainment complex, an oasis of amusement in Fort Stockton, Texas, situated in a desert of convenient, out-of-home leisure options. Allie Slater starts the tour.
New-at-ASI Products -- As has become a tradition in post-tradeshow issues of RePlay, we've compiled the brand-new equipment in a handy reference guide. Check out our catalog.
Reviving the Vision -- The Vision jukebox, created by View Interactive, is back. The jukebox created by operators for operators had ceased production last year, but it's set to make a comeback through a partnership with Rowe's AMI music service.
Vending Vistas -- A new firm started by an Animaland industry vet came to ASI to debut its new concept in vending, a fully wired unit that can vend just about anything through its touchscreen sales interface. Get the full story on this true innovation in this month's Spotlight.
The Age of Advertising -- With over 30,000 connected units, TouchTunes is set to capitalize on two growing markets, interactive and out-of-home advertising, but they need the help of their already loyal partners, street operators. Learn more about their plans.
The Golden Years -- National Ticket has been celebrating their centennial milestone with the next generation of wristbands, along with emphasizing their variety of customized ticket options that have been implemented around the globe. Take part in the festivities in Nuts & Bolts.
