No capital outlay
We own the machines. No purchase, no lease obligation on your side, no equipment financing.
Location partners
Add a revenue stream to your store without spending a dollar.
Black Horn Gaming places, installs, services and collects coin-operated amusement machines in host retail locations. You provide the floor space and the power. We provide the equipment, the technicians and the paperwork.
The offer
What a host location gets.
Install, service and collections handled
Delivery, setup, cleaning, repairs and scheduled collection runs are ours. You keep running your store.
Compliance paperwork handled
Licensing, permits, machine stickers and operator reporting are the operator's responsibility, never yours — that is us where we vend your location ourselves, or the licensed local partner who serves it. Which duties sit with the location rather than the operator is set by each state, so we put both lists in writing before a machine is installed.
Transparent revenue share
A written agreement with a plain-English split, set per state because the rules are set per state. In Georgia the regulator fixes it at 50% of net monthly proceeds to each side after the Lottery’s share, and your licensed operator follows it. Elsewhere it is agreed with you before installation.
Fast response
One support number for every location. Report an issue and it goes straight into the route queue. Average service response is 10 hours.
Right mix for your room
We match cabinet count and game mix to your floor and your traffic instead of dropping in whatever's on the truck.
Non-cash rewards only. Coin-operated amusement machine rewards are non-cash and limited by the statutes of each state. In Georgia, since 1 July 2026, House Bill 353 allows only replays, Georgia Lottery products and gift cards (nonreloadable or reloadable) as Class B redemption — merchandise, store credit and fuel are no longer permitted forms. We will not install or operate equipment in a way that conflicts with your state's amusement-machine rules.
How it works
Four steps from call to cash flow.
Site review
We talk through your location type, floor space, hours and traffic, then confirm what's permitted in your state.
Agreement
You get a written host-location agreement covering the machine count, the revenue share and each side's responsibilities.
Install
We deliver, place, power up, test and register the equipment, and post the required signage and licensing materials.
Service & collections
Scheduled route visits, on-call repairs, and documented collections with your share reported every cycle.
What we need from you
Short list. Nothing exotic.
- Floor space for the agreed number of cabinets, with clear customer access.
- Standard grounded power at the wall.
- A business that legally may host amusement machines in your state, and a willingness to complete any location-side registration your state requires. Some states register the location as well as the operator; we confirm which applies to your address before anything is installed.
- Someone on site who can call our support line when something isn't right.
- Agreement to post required signage and to enforce the age rules that apply at your location. The minimum age is set by your state and locality; enforcement at the point of play is the location's.
FAQ
Questions store owners ask first.
What does it cost me?
Nothing up front. We own and maintain the equipment; you provide space and power. Your compensation is the revenue share in your agreement. In Georgia the regulator sets that at 50% of net monthly proceeds to each side after the Lottery’s share, and it is paid by the licensed operator of your machines — us where we vend you directly, or the local partner who serves your area. In states with no fixed formula the split is agreed with you in writing before a machine is installed, and it does not change without your signature.
How much revenue can I expect?
It depends on location type, traffic, hours and the state you're in, and we won't publish a number we can't stand behind. We'll walk through realistic expectations for your specific site. What we won't do is quote you an average, because an average across 16 states and every type of location tells you nothing about your store.
Are these gambling machines?
No. These are coin-operated amusement machines. Rewards are non-cash and limited by the statutes of the state where the machine is located.
Who handles licensing?
Operator-side licensing, permits and machine registration are ours. Some states also require the location to register or hold a location-side license — we tell you exactly what applies and help you complete it. Whether a location-side license exists at all depends on the state, so we confirm it for your address before installation rather than after.
How fast is service?
Report an issue through our service line or the online service request form and it enters the route queue immediately. Average service response is 10 hours.
Can I end the agreement?
Yes — term and termination are spelled out in writing before anything is installed. The length of the term, the notice each side has to give and who removes the machines are all in the agreement, and we walk you through them before you sign.
