The Prize Counter Just Got Competition
A family entertainment center photo booth gives birthday crews one more thing to fight over, and this time everybody wins a prize they keep. We deliver, install and maintain a real enclosed walk-in booth at no cost to you, then send a share of every session your way each month.

What changes
Every party leaves with proof it happened
Arcades already run on small rewards. Kids feed cards into machines for tickets, then stand at the prize wall agonizing over a rubber duck. A booth slots right into that loop, except the prize is a strip of their own faces, and nobody ever trades it back.
- Birthday parties get a finale. After cake and before the goody bags, the whole party squeezes behind the curtain in rotating groups. Parents love that the day ends with something better than a plastic spider ring.
- Skate nights and trampoline sessions get a breather. Sweaty, grinning kids need two minutes off their feet, and the bench inside becomes the most popular seat in the building.
- The ticket counter crowd has somewhere to go. Siblings stuck waiting on a brother who cannot choose between two erasers wander over and take a strip instead.
- Teens come back on their own. Friends who outgrew party packages show up on Friday nights for the booth and stay for the games.
- Your name rides home. Every strip carries your logo onto refrigerators all over the neighborhood, a reminder no flyer manages.
Curious how it plays out on a real game floor? Our arcade photo booth guide walks through it.
What it costs you
Zero. The booth, the delivery truck, installation, paper rolls, repairs and insurance are all on us. You give up a corner and a wall outlet, nothing more.
What you earn
A cut of every session, somewhere between 10% and 25%, agreed in writing before you sign. It arrives on the 1st of every month, paired with a sales report you can actually read.
If it flops
The 12-month agreement kicks off with a 90-day trial. If the numbers or the vibe disappoint you by then, we roll it out the door and charge you nothing for the trip.
How it fits
Between the claw machines and the party rooms
A family entertainment center photo booth usually finds its home near the party room exits, beside the prize counter, or on the walkway between skate rental and the snack bar. Plan a 5 x 5 ft corner with one standard outlet. The Classic cabinet sits on casters and wheels through any normal doorway, which helps when you rearrange for a holiday event. Guests tap a card or phone, choose color or black and white, strike four poses, and grab two printed strips in about 90 seconds plus an on-screen QR code for phones. Your team never makes change, never loads paper, never troubleshoots. We watch the booth remotely and a local crew typically fixes problems the same day.
Straight talk: no arcade has hosted a SmileMore booth yet. Our only live machine is at NSU’s student hub in Davie, where it rang up well over 300 paid sessions and roughly $2,400 of guest spending in month one, with a big move-in week crowd giving it a push. A campus is not an FEC, but the pull is the same. You could be the first family fun center in South Florida with one. Run your own numbers on the earnings calculator.
Best spot
Right where party groups exit. Kids are already bunched together, already hyped, and already working a parent for one last thing.
Busiest moment
Saturday afternoons, when back-to-back birthday parties overlap and every group wants its own strip before the minivans leave.
Make it yours
Your colors and logo cover the cabinet, so it reads as part of your game floor and not a rented extra. Every strip prints with your name.
Questions from arcades and FECs
The screen walks guests through each step and the bench seats a small group. Most parents hop in with younger kids anyway, which honestly makes for the best strips.
Bring it up during review. Families pay right on the screen with a card or a tapped phone, so you never collect money, but we are happy to talk about how it fits the parties you already sell.
We monitor every booth remotely and a local technician usually sorts out issues the same day. Repairs are on us, so your staff stays behind the counter.
Yes. The enclosed booth has its own curtain and flash, so the lighting inside stays consistent no matter how many machines are blinking outside.
