Let’s be real—prize and redemption machines aren’t usually our thing. But Sega’s recent announcement? It’s turning our perspective upside down!
Launching in 2025, Sega Prize International has introduced an exciting lineup of lifestyle electronics designed to redefine the prize experience. We’re talking about genuinely cool and practical tech—forget about flimsy plastic toys!
Here’s what’s got us buzzing:
Tiny Snap – This charming thermal printing camera stole the show at the EAG Expo earlier this year. It’s portable, entertaining, and instantly prints your photos, mixing nostalgic retro flair with a modern twist. Think Polaroid, but mini!
Track 360 – Perfect for influencers, streamers, or selfie enthusiasts, this phone holder follows your face with 360° motion and allows you to control tracking with hand gestures. Say goodbye to clumsy interruptions during your recordings!
Smart Ring – Your stylish fitness partner. This ring features a heart rate monitor, step counter, sleep tracker, and even blood oxygen monitoring, all packed into a sleek design.
Smart Watch – Loaded with essential features like heart rate tracking, sleep analysis, step counting, distance covered, message notifications, weather updates, and music control on the go. It syncs seamlessly with your phone for everyday convenience.
Trevor Clarke, head of Sega Amusements International’s merchandise division, summed it up perfectly:
“We are thrilled to provide operators with a brand new range of electronic items as an innovative alternative for their prize machines and redemption counters.”
Well, Trevor, you nailed it. We might soon find ourselves at our local arcade, eagerly dropping tokens into a claw machine just for a chance to snag these Sega treasures.
For those keeping tally, it’s:
Redemption machines: 1
Us: 0 (but with a Tiny Snap camera in hand, we’ll at least look good while trying).
