Heading up the Sega redemption lineup is Pixel Chase, a skill-based ticket redemption game. Players must throw as many balls as possible into LED-illuminated target holes  before the timer runs out. The target holes, arranged in an LED-illuminated four-hole matrix resembling part of a classic low-resolution color video display, light up bright red, green or blue. Each color corresponds to a different score. A player who surpasses the high score wins the bonus tickets.

Pixel Chase has a slick, modern cabinet design with lighting designed to draw players from across the room. "Players playing the game create a lot of buzz and excitement," said Sega U.S. sales manager Vince Moreno. "Other players notice this positive energy and are attracted to play Pixel Chase."

Also on display is Ball Runner, a new family-oriented redemption game from Sega aimed at the whole family. Combining mechanical and digital features, the game creates a distinctive fun player experience. The player must slide balls up the playfield, along runners, to hit illuminated targets. The more targets struck, the higher the score and the number of tickets won.

"Ball Runner is a skill-based game that has a strong 'must try again' appeal," Moreno explained. "With each try, players are likely to improve their skill and get  higher scores.

Hot Racer and Sonic Kids Basketball are games designed specifically for kids. Hot Racers is a police chase game in which players can choose to ride the motorcycle or drive the police car to chase down evildoers. Featuring a bright yellow car-shaped cabinet with two vertical screens and a comfortable bench seat, Hot Racer is designed to attract and divert the little ones.

Sega's iconic character Sonic themes  the company's Sonic Basketball for children. Featuring a low playfield and two hoops at different heights, the game appeals to kids of different ages and heights. The cabinet has a high-cuteness design with LED-lit edges, acrylic sides, colorful branding and "adorable Sonic-branded basketballs" to assure immediate positive recognition by children.

Complementing its strong lineup of ticket redemption games, Sega also plans to exhibit its hit prize vending games Prize Arrow and Key 2 Win. Prize Arrow challenges players to launch an arrow at a spinning wheel with the touch of a button. Timing the button-press  just right will land the arrow in one of eight winning slots, each corresponding to a prize. Styled for a fresh, clean look with bright LED-illuminated targets and an attractive spinning target, the game incorporates regular and large prize holders and boasts a anti-theft "tilt" function. It's designed to enhance  any location.

Rounding out the line is Key 2 Win, engineered to raise the bar for this game category. It features flashing individually-lit prize holders and an eye-catching translucent header. As many as 15 prize positions are featured in the secure, durable cabinet.
