February 7, 2022

Playtertainment, a provider of mobile connected reality gaming, is partnering with the National Entertainment Network, a retail amusement game and bulk vending machine operator, to connect online players with physical arcade games nationwide, according to a press release.

The partnership creates an arcade gaming and amusement-based omnichannel ecosystem and retail marketing platform with 40,000 assets, including over 20,000 arcade games nationwide.

Playtertainment's live mobile gaming app "Winner Winner" allows users to play physical arcade machines from a mobile device. Prizes won and tickets redeemed from virtual play of claw machines and other physical arcade games are mailed to the winners.

As part of the partnership launch, thousands of in-person arcade games at retail stores, restaurants and entertainment venues will become a digital gateway to the Winner Winner platform.

The Winner Winner app and NEN gaming network connects players to physical arcade games and family entertainment centers as well as online social game rooms.

Players can search for NEN machines on the Winner Winner app and transit between in-person and mobile play at more of their favorite local machines. The partnership is also launching a customer loyalty program that will track customer rewards, game credits, coupons and promotions for games played on Playtertainment's live digital arcade platform and mobile app.
