Bay Tek Grows Redemption Lineup With HopStar And Full Tilt

PULASKI, WI -- Bay Tek Games reports that it is shipping its two latest redemption games, HopStar and Full Tilt. They will be among the attractions taking center stage in Bay Tek's exhibit at the 2015 Amusement Expo in Las Vegas.

HopStar is a video hopscotch simulator, featuring a durable hop pad with infrared motion and position sensing that controls a 42" vertical flat screen. The player inserts a coin to bring up any of a variety of 3D courses rendered on the large-screen monitor, and is challenged to negotiate the course by hopping from one square to the next.

The images move toward the player along the display's Z axis in response to each hop. Tickets are awarded for every successful hop, with bonus awards won by hopping onto marked squares that appear at random. A countdown timer further challenges the player to hop as quickly as possible, thus landing on the greatest number of squares. Bonus time can be gained by hopping onto a square marked with a clock.

The variety of three-dimensional courses provides new challenges for every game, Bay Tek explained. The progressive jackpot feature, course time and difficulty controls are adjustable in the operator menu, allowing the game to be optimized for every location. HopStar stands 90.5" high, measures 50.5" wide x 75" deep and weighs 350 lb. Versions are available for 110V. and 220V. power, drawing 1.8 amperes and 0.9 amperes, respectively.

Full Tilt is an eye-catching electromechanical game with novel play action. The visually arresting vertical playfield supports an array of meshed cogwheels and idlers, which the player can turn clockwise or counterclockwise with a large front-mounted steering wheel.

Upon inserting a coin, the player is presented with a ball that emerges onto an escapement at the top of the playfield. Turning the array of gears so that the receiving platform on the cogwheel below the escapement is centered causes the escapement to release the ball, which drops onto the platform. The player's task then is to turn the wheels so the ball rolls off one end or the other of the first receiving platform and is caught on one of the wheels below it. Target idlers in a row along the bottom of the playfield are marked with values, and the object is to maneuver the ball along its vertical descent so it will come to rest on a high-value target. Skilled players can aim for the larger values to win the most tickets.

Full Tilt is highly visible, but has a relatively small footprint. It measures 50" wide x only 33" deep, and is supplied with an adjustable marquee. Without this header, the height is 89"; that is increased to 94.75" with the level 1 marquee, and 109.5" at level 2. It weighs 480 lbs. and also is available for 110V. or 220V. operation, at 2.7A. and 1.35A., respectively.
