Key Takeaways
- A FEC floor mixes high-throughput redemption games with a few anchor attractions — count by zone, not by room.
- Redemption-game density drives repeat visits more than any single hero cabinet.
- Use the zone plan to scope a build, then request a per-market compliance quote.

How This Calculator Works
FEC planning is a zoning problem: floor area × zone share ÷ attraction footprint. This tool lets a licensed operator model three zones — redemption wall, anchor attractions, and circulation/F&B — from floor area and your target split.

The Model
zone_area = floor_area × zone_share
attraction_count = floor(zone_area / attraction_footprint)
The split is the strategy. A redemption-heavy 60% wall maximizes repeat visits; a 30% anchor share gives destination pull. The tool shows the count each split produces.
A Worked Example
400 m² FEC, 60% redemption (0.5 m²/unit), 25% anchors (12 m²/unit), 15% circulation:
- Redemption units = floor(400 × 0.60 / 0.5) = 480 (dense wall)
- Anchor attractions = floor(400 × 0.25 / 12) ≈ 8 simulators / bowling
- Circulation = 60 m² for queues and F&B
The redemption density is what brings players back weekly — model its revenue with the push-score calculator.
Zone for Dwell, Not Just Count
A room full of cabinets but no place to queue or eat earns less than a balanced plan. Keep circulation real, and confirm redemption caps with your compliance profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this and the casino floor planner?
A FEC mixes redemption, skill and simulator games with soft-play and F&B, not just gaming cabinets. This tool zones the floor by attraction type so you can balance throughput and dwell time.
Why plan by zone?
Different attractions need different footprints and draw different traffic. A redemption wall runs dense; a simulator or bowling anchor needs 10× the space. Zoning prevents a room that looks full but earns poorly.
Does this apply to regulated redemption markets?
Yes — redemption-game legality and ticket limits vary by jurisdiction. The plan is directional; confirm machine class and redemption caps with your local gaming authority before committing space.
Do you supply FEC attractions?
GOLDPRIME GAME builds pusher, ticket-redemption and simulator cabinets for licensed operators in regulated markets, with certification scoped per market and per order.
