Bar Partners, an Austin, Texas-based amusement machine operator, has teamed with Emerson Amusements, a provider of amusement games, ATMs and jukeboxes to the greater New York City bar, hospitality and entertainment markets, according to a press release.

Bar Partners is an Amuze company, which has developed proprietary, customized electronic massage chairs and hurricane simulators featuring in-house live telemetry monitoring and maintenance services primarily for trampoline parks, amusement facilities and truck stops.

Bar Partners operates using a similar model but offers an expanded lineup of games such as arcade basketball, photobooths, claw machines, etc., with a heavier presence in bars.

The collaboration marks the culmination of a 10-plus year relationship between Stephen Lahti, co-founder of Bar Partners, and Ken Goldberg, president of Emerson Amusements in Woodside, New York.
