Golden Tee More Popular Than Pac-Man
Posted on July 5, 2005
The Golden Tee, an arcade golf game popular in restaurants and sports bars, is more popular than Pac-Man according to a recent CNN Showbiz Tonight report. The game has over twenty million players worldwide and brings in over $400 million in revenues per year. CNN reports that some of the players hooked on the game include Nellie, Nick Lachey and Cason Daly.
Ddaly says, "If I'm in a good spot, I can play Golden Tee, which is a big stand up arcade game."
The fact that Golden Tee is the first coin-op game to accept debit and credit cards probably helps bring in the revenues. Players can also compete in a live game tournament. The game is most popular with golfers who make up 80% of the players and men who make up 90% of the Golden Tee gamer demographic. Golden Tee is produced by Incredible Technologies, Inc.
