Cowells-Arrow Bingo Co., the U.K. subsidiary of Arrow International Inc., has acquired the assets of Automatic Machine Services Ltd., a distributor of gaming and leisure equipment to the pub, restaurant and hospitality markets in the southeast U.K., for an undisclosed sum, according to a press release.

The acquisition provides Arrow entrance into the U.K. gaming machine market while expanding the service and product offering to both Cowells-Arrow's and AMS' customers. Arrow will work with both teams to explore expanding existing U.S. electronic gaming products into the U.K. as well.

Cowells-Arrow and AMS have supplied bingo tickets, dabbers, lottery tickets and vending machines since 2017.

Arrow acquired AMS from Jason Jarrett, who will remain with the company going forward and join Cowells Arrow.
