Placement means Indiana Joe installs and operates machines in your venue long-term. You don't own the machine. Joe handles everything from delivery and setup to ongoing maintenance. In many cases, revenue generated by the machine is shared between both parties.
Revenue generated by the machines is split between Indiana Joe and the host venue. The exact split depends on the agreement. It's a way for venues to earn passive income without any upfront cost or maintenance responsibility.
Bars, breweries, lounges, restaurants, and similar venues with steady foot traffic tend to work best. The key is having enough space for the machine and customers who are likely to engage with it during their visit.
