Once CODERE’s main business, the company today operates more than 53,600 gaming machines worldwide.

Known indiscriminately as fruit machines, arcade machines, slot machines, type B, AWP, ETBs, these basically involve the operation of different kinds of machines that offer cash prizes depending on the bets made by users. The machines are placed at leisure facilities, arcades, bars and restaurants, bingo halls, casinos and racetracks.

Analysis, renewal and rotation of the machine models, commercial service, cash collection management, technical assistance and administrative services are just some of the services CODERE offers, making it an active partner in the business development of its clients.

With 29 years of continuous growth in the world of gaming machines, the company believes that constant innovation of the market is a basic element of its business. In this regard, it offers its clients both the most cutting-edge technology and the most competitive models. The result of this policy of constant renewal and rotation is reflected in the bottom line: CODERE obtains much higher returns per machine than our competitors.
