Key Takeaways
- car arcade machine is a sit-down racing cabinet: force-feedback wheel, pedal set, bucket seat and a large screen — the highest dwell-time format on an FEC floor.
- GOLDPRIME GAME builds race car arcade machines as OEM: wheel, seat, screen and game content scoped per order, with your livery on the shell.
- MOQ 1, ~72-hour quotes, 12–42 working days production — same in-house line and QC chain as the upright family.
The car arcade machine is the anchor attraction of a racing corner: a sit-down cabinet where the player takes a bucket seat, grips a force-feedback wheel and races a full-size screen. Nothing else on the floor holds a player for as long per session.
GOLDPRIME GAME manufactures race car arcade machines as an OEM/ODM gaming machine factory — the shell, wheel rig, seat, screen and content stack are all specified per order. This page covers the standard build, OEM options and where the format earns.
What a Car Arcade Machine Is
- Sit-down racing chassis — bucket seat, force-feedback wheel, gas/brake pedal set and gear shifter on a welded steel frame.
- Large-format screen — 32″ to 75″ mounted at eye level; link cabinets share one race across banks of 2–8 units.
- Monetization mech — coin or bill standard; card and ticket systems on request.
