Gaming Cafes have become a common sight across Illinois since live video gaming became regulated. From a business perspective there are a lot of attractive aspects of owning a gaming café such as low overhead and labor costs. With the growth of the industry comes increased competition for regular players. Below are a few ideas that Universal Gaming Group recommends to keep your players coming in:
- Branding – The brand of your gaming café is huge and can have long lasting impressions on your players. Emphasizing your branding across print, digital, and social media platforms will boost awareness.
- Marketing – Marketing your gaming café is crucial to your business and worth the investment. Marketing can be done through print or digital and should be planned out for a period of time. Terminal Operators, like Universal Gaming Group, can handle many different types of marketing programs – and share in the cost. This can be a great way to tap into great marketing support without breaking the bank.
- Game Line Up – Having the right VGTs (video gaming terminal) in your location can go a long way to keeping your customers happy and coming back. Universal Gaming Group has access to all of the latest games and titles.
- Player Loyalty Rewards – Rewarding your players keeps them happy and returning to your café. This can be done by providing Free Play or Match Play rewards or through a promotional giveaway. Universal Gaming Group assists all of our Video Gaming Cafes with unique programs to reward their players.
- A Great Gaming Experience – The last thing your customers want when they visit your location is a down game or redemption terminal. Selecting the right terminal operator to partner with is the most important decision you can make to ensure a great gaming experience. When selecting a terminal operator, you should ask questions about service response times in your area and if VGTs can be serviced remotely.
