Best of Show Arcade Machine Awards for Innovation and Creativity in Arcade Games and Amusements Revealed - BMIGaming.com / The Stinger Report 2013 BOSA Awards

(February 11, 2013)

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) February 11, 2013

Marking its second year, and having generated a strong industry and fan following, BMI Gaming and The Stinger Report are pleased to announce the 2013 Best of Show Arcade Machine Award (BOSA) winners.

The BOSA has become a rallying point in spearheading both innovation and originality within the amusement and attraction sector. After an exhaustive review of the latest new arcade machines represented at the recent IAAPA Amusement Expo in Orlando, Florida, and through a very arduous voting process between The Stinger Report and BMIGaming.com judging teams, the 2013 BOSA winners have been revealed.

The BOSA Awards are split into three product categories, 'Video Arcade Games', 'Videmption Arcade Games' and 'Redemption Arcade Games' that chart both new and important arcade machine products invented within the amusement industry recently, broken down into three awards of Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals, and a 'Notable Mention' Award.

The criteria used to determine the 'Best Of Show' Arcade Machine Awards are 'Game Originality', 'Uniqueness', 'Market Relevance', 'Earning Potential', Pricing and the all-important 'Fun Factor', and all arcade games reviewed by our judges are assigned weighted scores in these six areas.

Growing in size each year, the BOSA will continue to chart new gaming trends and use of new and innovating technology that shape the digital out-of-home entertainment arena.
