Crown Direct, one of the UK's largest amusement distributors, held the North West Open Day in Preston earlier this week.

An opportunity for operators in the region to speak to manufacturers in a more relaxed environment to ATEI, the event proved a great opportunity for companies to present games launched at the show in January.

Products from Astra, Harry Levy, Empire Games, Reflex Gaming, Sega and many more were on display with the Dynamic range of cabinets from Empire Games making its debut appearance.

Korean company IR Robot had two products on display foosball table Marubot, which sees players control robots using joysticks on a specially designed football game stadium, and ticket redemption game Golden Dazer, which sees players wirelessly control a DozerBot to push balls into different slots to obtain tickets.
