Haymaker Arcade Get the numbers

50/50 profit share

A machine in your venue, at no cost to you

We supply, install and service the machine. You give it a corner and a plug. Whatever it takes, we split down the middle and your half goes out monthly by bank transfer. You are not buying anything and you are not renting anything.

Profit share at a glance

What the arrangement actually is

A boxing arcade machine installed in your venue on a 50/50 profit share.
Cost to the venue
Nothing upfront and no rental fee. We supply, deliver, install and service it.

The arithmetic

Whatever it takes, half is yours

Machine takes£1,000
Your half£500
Our half£500

That is arithmetic, not a forecast. What a machine actually takes depends on your footfall, where it sits and what nights you are busy. We will not quote you a monthly figure we cannot evidence — anyone who does is guessing.

You set the assumptions — we are only doing the arithmetic. Nobody in this category can honestly tell you what your machine will take before it is in your room.

Who does what

What we do

  • Supply the machine at no cost to you
  • Deliver and install it — nothing for your staff to do
  • Fit a contactless card reader so every play is recorded
  • Service it on a schedule and fix faults
  • Collect, count and show you the figures
  • Pay your half monthly by bank transfer
  • Move it or take it back if it is not earning

What you do

  • Give us a spot with a 13A socket and room to swing
  • Let us put it where it will actually get used
  • Keep 50% of everything it takes

No upfront cost. No rental fee. We only earn when the machine earns, which is exactly why we care where it goes — and why a machine that is not working for you is not working for us either. Weighing this against hiring or buying? Here they are side by side.

The maintenance promise

Faults are our problem

A broken machine earns you nothing, so it costs us as much as it costs you. That is the whole reason this model works.

  • Servicing on a schedule, not when someone remembers
  • You report a fault to the person who will be fixing it — there is no call centre, there are two of us
  • Parts, labour and callouts are ours, not yours
  • If a machine keeps failing we replace it rather than keep patching it

Placement

Where it goes decides what it earns

Same machine, same venue, different corner — completely different takings. This is the part most operators skip and it is the part that actually pays.

Same machine, same venue. Position 1 sits on the route people already walk. Positions 2 and 3 take a fraction of it.

On a route, not in a corner

The bar, the way to the toilets, the smoking door. Somewhere people already walk past with a drink in hand.

Visible from the bar

The score display is the advert. If the room can see the number to beat, the room has a go.

Room to swing and be watched

Space for the player and space for the group behind them. The crowd is the point.

Straight answers

Profit share, answered properly

What does it cost me?

Nothing to install. Nothing to rent. We supply the machine, deliver it, install it and service it, and we split what it takes 50/50. If it takes nothing, you pay nothing — we only earn when the machine earns.

Am I tied in?

Everything is in writing before anything is installed — the split, the term, and what happens if you want the machine gone. Nothing hidden, nothing sprung on you later. And if it is not earning, tell us: we would rather move it or take it back than leave a dead machine in your corner, because we only make money when it makes money.

Do I need a licence for it?

No gaming machine permit. A boxing machine pays out no money and no prizes, so it is an amusement machine rather than a gaming machine and it does not fall under gambling licensing. If your premises licence carries conditions about machines, send it over and we will go through it with you before anything is installed.

Does it take card payments?

Yes. Contactless card readers are fitted, which matters more than people expect — nobody carries coins any more, and a coin-only machine simply misses those players. It also means the takings are recorded rather than estimated.

How and when do I get paid?

Monthly, by bank transfer, with the figures behind it. You are not waiting on a cash drop or taking a number on trust.

Is it safe and properly looked after?

Every machine is installed by us, not dropped off, and serviced on a schedule. Faults are ours to fix, not yours. If your insurer or licensing officer wants specific paperwork for their file, ask us and we will tell you exactly what we can provide — a straight answer rather than a badge.

How much space does it need?

About the footprint of a fruit machine plus clear room to swing, and a standard 13A socket. A dead corner, the wall by the bar, the space next to the pool table. Send us a photo of the spot and we will tell you whether it works before anyone visits.

Do you cover my area?

We operate nationwide from a North West base. Send us your postcode and we will tell you straight away rather than making you wait for a callback. See areas we cover.
