What BMI Gaming does
BMI Gaming is a privately held wholesale distributor of arcade and amusement equipment, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida with a governing-law nexus in Missouri (County of Boone). The company operates an e-commerce and direct-sales platform that catalogs more than 1,400 products across video arcade games, ticket-redemption games, motion simulators, VR arcade systems, kiddie rides, sports arcade games (basketball, air hockey, shuffleboard), pinball machines, bowling video games, and vending/photo booth equipment. It serves as an authorized distributor for at least 17 manufacturers including Raw Thrills, Sega Amusements, Falgas, Incredible Technologies, Bob's Space Racers, ICE Games, UNIS, Simuline, Adrenaline Amusements, Andamiro, Zamperla, Barron Games, Wahlap, Team Play, Imply, Arachnid, Stern Pinball, and Pan Amusements.
The technology stack is non-proprietary: BMI does not manufacture hardware itself and offers no disclosed API, SDK, mobile app, or developer platform. Its core capability is curation, catalog merchandising, and global fulfillment — including export logistics, replacement-parts availability, multi-currency/traditional and crypto payment acceptance, and free FEC-design consultation services. The company ships to 120+ countries and supports English- and Spanish-language sales channels with dedicated regional funnels.
BMI's revenue mechanics are one-time hardware sales at factory-direct/wholesale pricing with quote-based ("CALL for pricing") order flows and a stated PAYG billing cadence. Customers include commercial FEC operators, location-based businesses (malls, bowling alleys, restaurants, hotels, gas stations), amusement/theme parks, and residential buyers. Payment acceptance includes bank wire, credit/debit cards up to $50,000, digital wallets up to $15,000, and major cryptocurrencies. The go-to-market is sales-led, supplemented by a deep content/SEO website and an active trade-show presence across IAAPA, IAAPI, AEI, BCA, ENADA, GTI, CinemaCon, and other global amusement industry events.
