The development of the 3 Ring Circus arcade game marked an exciting venture into arcade game design for Vertex. Commissioned to conceptualize the aesthetics, engineer the mechanical details, and construct the initial prototypes, our team embarked on creating an engaging and revenue-generating attraction for arcade venues.
Designed to be a "center stage" spectacle, the 3 Ring Circus accommodates three independent players simultaneously, offering a thrilling multiplayer experience. Each player station features a direct mechanical action mechanism, connecting the handwheel to the spinning reel with a pawl mechanism and a large-scale encoder to accurately track reel positions.
Measuring W-112" D-107" H-106", the 3 Ring Circus boasts a robust construction comprising wood cabinetry, custom-designed aluminum extrusions, and large clear panels, topped with a vacuum-formed crown. This combination of materials ensures durability and visual appeal, making it a standout feature in any arcade setting.
Recognized for its innovation and entertainment value, the Three Ring Circus Arcade Game earned the prestigious Silver Award in the Outdoor & Exercise Equipment-Leisure, Game & Fun Category, further validating its success and popularity among arcade-goers.
