Football Arcades

Football arcades are football arcade machines for hire, part of our range of sports video games. Our football video game is one of the most iconic in the legendary amusement arcades. The manufacturer is Gaelco and it was released in 1999.

It is a two-player multiplayer game in which each player has a control panel with buttons and a joystick to move and perform different game actions, and a football on the floor to kick during the match, both for passing and for taking penalties.

The distinctive and surprising feature of this game is that, among its controls, it includes a ball for each player.

The Arcade game has a credit button that we press to get games. Once pressed, you choose one-player or two-player mode, and then the selection module starts.

The selection module comes before the game and consists of choosing the teams you want to play with; each player can choose their own team.

The machine is very easy to use. During the game the user is guided through the different options at each moment of the match, so even if you have never played before, the game will advise you on the steps to follow to enjoy the match.

Throughout the game you can play with the ball on the floor to pass it to the different avatars, to shoot at goal or during penalties.

In short, the Football arcade is very easy for players to use.

This football simulator is ideal for sports events, such as interactive events or open days.

The football match simulator is an experience for events that want to add a sporty touch. The football machine is also very attractive, so there will be a visual impact the moment the public sees the virtual football machine for the first time.

If you want to use the ball game simulator as a product presentation at a trade fair or congress, the football simulator can be customised in Barcelona, Madrid or any city in Spain with the client's branding or logo on the lower part, as explained in detail below.

The Football video game for hire is designed for two people to play for about 5 minutes as a special activity

The football video game hire is designed for two players to play simultaneously without inserting any money, simply using the built-in credit button.

A single player can also play if desired with no extra configuration needed, making it very accessible for anyone.

The game is very easy to use and does not need any staff to guide users.

The football arcade originally stood in amusement arcades, where players who wanted to play simply inserted coins and played without anyone explaining anything. However, if desired, it is possible to hire assistance staff to guide players or explain how the virtual football activity works.

The football competition simulator set-up consists of a screen and the players' area, made up of a platform with the balls and the players' controls.

The set-up is somewhat complex, but not counting the time it takes to carry the dismantled game from our truck to the event venue, it takes 30 minutes to set up. Depending on how easy the access is from the loading area to the event spot, the set-up time may vary, but normally everything is ready in less than 1 hour.

The time can be adjusted to be longer or shorter, from 2 minutes up to 15 minutes. By default we set it to 5 minutes for two players and 3 minutes for 1 player, although, as mentioned above, it can be changed depending on the needs of the event or fair.

If you want to change the game time during the event, you can do so at any moment. It is explained to the event manager at set-up so that they can change it whenever they wish.

It is possible to save the scores of all players for each event, but only if they play individually.

Only a name, a word or a code can be saved for each game.

The score can be recorded with a code, and each player's details, such as email and phone number, can then be saved separately for possible prizes.

The football arcade is very heavy and very large, so the area for transport and installation between the loading and unloading point and the place where the Football arcade will be installed needs to be easy to get through.

The control section of the football video game where the players stand is approximately 2 metres wide including the protective metal bars, so it cannot be manoeuvred through very narrow corridors that then require turning left or right.

If you have doubts about transport, we can assess the event venue in person to see whether transport is feasible. If you want to hire the football arcade game in Barcelona, we can go in person to inspect the venue.

The arcade machine needs 125w which can be obtained from any standard 220v mains socket directly; these are the common sockets found anywhere.

If the football sports arcade has to be placed outdoors , the client must be able to protect the football machine from possible rain and have security staff for when the event is not running, to keep outsiders away.

• Space required ( Size of the arcade + space for spectators )
• Route between the event spot and the unloading and loading area without stairs.
• If outdoors, it is necessary to protect the Football machine from possible rain.
• At night, have security to protect the arcade machine.

The football simulator consists of several areas that we have to assemble and fix in place. Once the arcade is set up, it cannot be moved easily; to move it we would need to dismantle it and set it up again.

If you need to move the football arcade, special wheels can be fitted to order so that the machine can be manoeuvred around the event easily, bearing in mind that it needs a power socket nearby. If there is no socket nearby, we can bring a 30-metre extension lead to solve the problem.

The football arcade machine can be customised. We normally place the logos and customisation on the area below the screen, which measures 50x50cm, although if desired the machine can be completely wrapped in vinyl, as long as it is returned exactly as it was originally after the football simulator hire.

The material we use to customise the football simulators is 3mm Eurolight PVC Forex with full-colour printing.

The software cannot be modified for customisation or to include the company logo, as it is closed code that does not allow modification of the game itself.

Lead time to book Football Video Games for Parties or Events

Football simulators are in high demand. There is no problem booking within the same week; the only thing that can happen is that our football machines are already booked, so we recommend making the booking one week in advance.

If you want customisation on the football arcades, one more week is needed to design it, send it to print and fit the branding on the machine.

How to make the booking

The football machine booking process begins with us issuing an invoice with your tax details to make the 50% reservation. At that moment, the day or days you want to book the Football arcade hire are blocked for you.

On the day of the event, the remaining 50% of the total event price is paid. The invoice will detail the most important aspects of the event, such as the following:

• Set-up hours/days for the Football Arcade Hire
• Event start hours/days
• Contact person and phone number for when we arrive at the event
• Exact event venue
• Company details for invoicing the client

Event cancellation?

When we block one of our items, it ensures that no other client can rent it once you have requested it first. For this reason the reservation cannot be refunded unless the date is changed to another within a working month or the event is cancelled completely due to rain or similar.

The football simulator hire price varies depending on the number of days or the location of the event, since booking in Madrid is not the same as in Barcelona. We can do both, but there is a transport surcharge, whereas in Barcelona transport is completely free.

When hiring football arcades for more than one day, the price is not simply multiplied by the number of days; we offer significant discounts for hiring the football arcade for multiple days.

The quickest way to request a quote for a football arcade is to call our direct number, shown in the website header, or to send an email, which we mostly answer in under 24 hours.

We take care of both the transport and the set-up/dismantling of the football arcade machines at the event venue. It is free in Barcelona; beyond a 30km radius of Barcelona a per-kilometre supplement applies, which includes the technicians' possible expenses, transport and set-up/dismantling.
