Dubai-based Warehouse of Games has finished a turnkey project in Salalah, Oman, supplying major rides and amusement games for the largest indoor FEC in the area, Fun Station. The location has a jungle theme with all of the rides and games customised to fit. Warehouse of Games is also a Semnox card system dealer and authorised distributor for the Middle East. The company has completed an agreement with the Freij Entertainment company to install a Semnox card system at the Freij operation that is opening at the Global Village, Dubai. SnoCross and Black Out games are doing well and there is a big demand for the new devices.

According to Warehouse of Games’ sales and development manager, Yuhanis Nawasreh, investment in new projects is driving growth in the amusement industry in the Middle East and parts of Africa. The market has picked up in the last two years, with the Middle East being the only region experiencing growth. Countries such as Saudi, Doha in Qatar, Jordan, and even Sudan are seeing significant levels of investment. The new projects in Sudan are being modeled on those found in Dubai. The full report will appear in the forthcoming June issue of InterGame.
