A 300㎡ mixed family entertainment center in Bac Ninh with 54 machines plus a venue management system
An experienced venue operator in Bac Ninh (north of Hanoi, Vietnam) planned a ~300㎡ mixed family entertainment center (FEC) with a target budget of RMB 1,000,000. The operator had prior floor experience and a clear view of machine standards and ratios. Average footfall was projected at ~50 visitors / day. The brief was a one-stop, fully-packed procurement covering every machine category plus the back-of-house system.
Vietnam's electronic-gaming / prize-machine segment operates under Decree 147/2024. For a licensed venue, the operator's responsibilities include:
GOLDPRIME GAME supports these requirements with compliant-ready builds and documentation; final venue licensing and operation remain the operator's responsibility.

For a 15m × 20m hall:
The operator secured a fully-packed 300㎡ mixed venue within budget: delivered cost landed at ~¥821k–826k against a ¥1,000,000 plan, leaving ~¥174k–179k for contingency or later top-up. The balanced machine mix — anchored by fish-game and push-score cores, softened by claw and redemption "facade" machines, and energized by racing and fighting — gives a floor that reads as a family entertainment center while serving experienced players. Vietnamese-language UI, CE / RoHS marks and overland logistics were built into the plan from day one.
Compliance reminder: venue licensing and on-site operation under Decree 147/2024 are the operator's responsibility; GOLDPRIME GAME delivers compliant-ready equipment and the supporting documentation.
