Key Takeaways
- Footprint and screen package drive both floor density and per-unit cost — compare them together.
- A deli unit fits 2–3× the count of a dual-screen upright in the same room.
- Use the comparison to pick a form factor, then request a per-market quote.
Illustrative estimates based on operator-provided inputs. Actual results depend on market conditions, player behavior, and regulatory requirements. Licensing and compliance in your market are your responsibility — confirm your local rules.
How This Calculator Works
Cabinet comparison is a side-by-side problem: enter specs for 2–3 forms → see the trade-offs. This tool lets a licensed operator compare footprint, screen, power draw and relative build cost per cabinet type.
Everything runs in your browser. No inputs are transmitted or stored.
The Model
per_m2_count = 1 / footprint
relative_cost = base_cost indexed to selected tier
The per-m² count is the floor-density lever; the relative cost is the budget lever. The tool shows both so you can balance presence against density.
A Worked Example
Compare deli (0.4 m², $700) vs dual upright (1.0 m², $1,400) in a 100 m² room:
| Form | Footprint | Per 100m² | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deli | 0.4 m² | ~250 | 1.0× |
| Dual upright | 1.0 m² | ~100 | 2.0× |
The deli fits 2.5× the count; the upright costs 2× per unit but anchors the floor visually.
Pick, Then Certify
Form factor choice is operational; certification is per market and per order. Confirm the envelope with your compliance profile, then size the build with the cabinet selector.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cabinets can I compare?
The tool compares any two or three form factors you enter — upright, slant top, deli/bartop, multiplayer table. Enter the real spec-sheet values for an apples-to-apples view.
What drives the cost difference?
Screen package (single vs dual + topper), metalwork complexity and freight. A deli unit is cheap and dense; a dual-screen upright costs more and uses more floor but has stronger presence.
Does this include certification cost?
No — this compares hardware specs. Certification is scoped per market and per order and applies to the game/math, not the cabinet alone. Bracket it with the OEM cost estimator.
Do you build all these forms?
GOLDPRIME GAME builds upright, slant, deli and multiplayer cabinets for licensed operators in regulated markets, with certification scoped per market and per order.
