What this could mean?
The key take-a-way here is that a movie theater is using a revenue-share game operator to operate a small number of games [my guess is around a dozen or slightly more] using EMBED and its em One Kiosk along with a fully integrated BayTek Prize Hub. This is a big win for all of the companies involved, including redemption game manufacturers and prize suppliers plus a seamless experience for the customers. Note that I am not commenting on the profitability for each of the parties as none of this information is known to me, but assuming that the location is high-trafficked and the games are placed in a good location for customers to play both before they see the movie and then again after they see the movie, this model works well.
