What arcade machines for events are
Arcade machine hire for events turns any space into a proper gaming zone. With thousands of classic and retro video games, they bring nostalgia, fun and competition, and are usually one of the busiest spots at any trade fair, conference or corporate event.
One guest can play against another while they wait for the next part of the event, or as a break during a conference, and you can equally play alone on any of the machine's games.
How the arcade machines work
It's quick and intuitive: players pick one of the thousands of games available and start playing instantly, thanks to the coin-free free-play system.
You can play solo or in multiplayer mode between guests, which sparks competitive, entertaining moments among attendees.
Retro arcade tournaments for team building and afterwork events
Retro arcade machines have something few activities can match: they get very different people competing with the same excitement. That's why an arcade tournament for companies is such a simple and rewarding team building format. With thousands of classic games on each machine, you can set a different challenge in every round.
- Head-to-head knockouts: classic fighting or sports games in multiplayer mode make for short, thrilling matches.
- High score of the day: a points-based game like Pac-Man lets everyone try to beat each other's record.
- Department teams: each area adds up its players' points and the best team is crowned.
- Final with an audience: the top players battle for the title at the end of the event, surrounded by colleagues.
Thanks to Freeplay mode, nobody has to deal with coins or credits, and the machines are so intuitive that no staff are needed. All we require is a standard 220 V power socket. We bring arcade machines for afterwork events and company days to Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and across Spain, taking care of transport, set-up and testing so the tournament can start the moment your guests arrive.
Arcade machine specifications and requirements
- Catalogue: thousands of classic and retro video games on every machine.
- Free play: guests add credits themselves, no coins. The machine doesn't even have a coin slot, so nobody gets confused or asks what a game costs.
- Players: single-player or multiplayer games.
- Power: standard 220 V connection.
- Staff: not needed — it's simple enough that guests run it themselves.
These are the requirements for an arcade cabinet hire: little more than a socket.
Why hire arcade machines?
- Thousands of games in one cabinet: every guest finds theirs.
- Runs without staff: nobody has to explain anything or take money.
- Perfect for the gaps: between talks, people drift over on their own.
- Guaranteed nostalgia: a retro gaming zone for corporate events that hooks every age group.

Arcade machine hire in Barcelona for weddings and company parties
Insert coin, for free
Arcade machine hire in Barcelona is one of the easiest ways to liven up a celebration without any fuss. At a company party, the multi-game arcade brings very different people together in front of the same screen. One classic fighting or shoot-’em-up game is all it takes for rivalries, laughter and rematches to last until the end of the night.
At weddings, an arcade machine near the bar entertains guests who are not dancing and delights the younger crowd. It is a must at eighties and nineties parties and fits perfectly into the gaming area at tech conferences and startup events. We bring arcade machines to Barcelona, Madrid and any city in Spain; tell us how many you need and we will send you a quote.
- Weddings and private parties: an arcade machine by the bar that keeps guests entertained between dances.
- Eighties themed parties: arcade machines that complete the retro look and get every generation playing.
- Tech conferences and startups: a gaming area for informal networking between talks and product demos.

Arcade machines customised with your brand
Street Fighter, Metal Slug, Pac-Man… over 3,000 classic games that keep guests coming back to the machine again and again. With arcade machines customised for events, every visit is also a touchpoint with your brand: the sides, front and top marquee can show off your logo and colours.
The backlit marquee is the star spot for the logo; the sides of the 176 cm tall cabinet are dressed in printed vinyl. If you want to set up a full gaming zone, we add PVC backdrops or dividers with your image and tournament signs. The size of each piece is set according to the design, and at United Events we adapt one hundred per cent to what you need.
How do we work? You tell us the idea and send us your artwork, or we create it in a couple of days. With everything approved, trusted suppliers print each piece and our team fits it on the machines.
Before heading to your event, the arcades are wrapped in plastic film, so they arrive gleaming and as good as new. They're perfect for a gamer chill-out zone at conferences, trade fairs, offices or retro parties. Check the measurements in the features tab.
