Bringing an arcade Pop-a-Shot Elite machine into your bar can transform the atmosphere, attract more customers, and boost your revenue. But installing this popular basketball arcade game requires more than just plugging it in. From choosing the right location to ensuring proper setup and maintenance, every step matters.

Free Arcade Machine With Profit-Sharing
I’m reaching out to see if you would be interested in adding another fun and entertaining game to your establishment.
I have an arcade basketball game called pop-a-shot elite and I’m looking for a unique location for it. It's a fun basketball game now featured on ESPN. I also have two business partners James and Anthony. (James has qualified to compete for the national championship this year on ESPN.)
We are exploring high traffic venues where guests would enjoy a quick, competitive game while dining or watching sports. We think your bar would be a perfect fit for this kind of entertainment, and I’d love to discuss the possibility of renting a small space in your restaurant to have one of our machines.
Here’s what I can offer:
A compact, professionally maintained Pop-A-Shot machine
Garneted 50$ per month then revenue-sharing of 10% after $250 (of net revenue the machine makes) also 15% after 600$ in net and lastly 20% after 1,250$ in net
No disruption to your operations—installation and maintenance are fully handled by me and my partners
A fun, interactive experience that complements your sports-focused atmosphere
Promotions to bring in new customers to your establishment.
Tournaments to engage current and new customers.
2 league sponsored teams that would be using the machine weekly (during league play)
Would you be open to a quick conversation to explore this idea further?
I would be happy to stop and discuss more about this at your convenience. You can call or email me any time if you have any questions
Promoting Your New Arcade Attraction
Once installed, let your customers know about the new Pop-a-Shot Elite to maximize its impact.
Signage: Place signs near the machine and around the bar announcing the new game.
Special offers: Run promotions like tournaments with prizes.
Social media: Share photos and videos of customers playing to build excitement.
Staff involvement: Train your team to encourage guests to try the game and explain how it works.
I’ve seen bars increase foot traffic by 15-20% after installing a Pop-a-Shot Elite. The key is to make the game part of the bar’s vibe.
We take care of all the machine maintenance
Regular maintenance keeps the machine in top shape and avoids costly repairs.
Examples of some maintenance we will perform on the machine:
Weekly checks: Inspect the ball return, net, and scoreboard for damage or jams.
Clean regularly: Wipe down surfaces and remove dust from sensors and electronics.
Replace worn parts: Nets and balls wear out over time. Keep spares on hand.
Software updates: If your machine supports updates, install them to fix bugs and add features.
A well-maintained machine provides a better customer experience.
Creating a Fun and Engaging Atmosphere
The Pop-a-Shot Elite is more than just a game; it’s a social experience. Encourage friendly competition and community by:
Hosting weekly or monthly tournaments
Offering leaderboards with prizes or recognition
Pairing gameplay with drink specials or food deals
This turns your sports bar into a destination where customers come not only for drinks but also for entertainment.
