Potential Turkish Market with the Asian European Integration

In addition to the recently hot BRICs in the global economic market, there are also some countries in Asia such as Vietnam , Thailand , and Turkey that have great expectation due to their international competence.

The total number of amusement machines in operation in Turkey from 2004 to now is about 6,000. There are new machines coming into the market, but secondhand machines or those too old are also eliminated form the market. The average lift span of a new game/machine is approximately five years.

According to the laws set up in 1965, many types of machines are not allowed to be imported to Turkey .

As for coin or token operated items having no display which cause indecision. Meanwhile, coin or token operated dedicated machines with displays and pinball such as video slot machine, poker machine, or fruit games cannot be imported . Companies are waiting for the revisions to the laws, but it is hard to tell about their timing.

Usually machines/parts are imported from Europe and 60% of the video games are from Europe as well. Products from Taiwan include crane machine, redemption machines, and video cabinets.

Tukey is an important bridge between the Asian and the European continents and often receives the mixed and multi-cultural information from many eastern and western countries. Furthermore, the Turkish amusement industry is gradually and steadily growing day by day . It is a common belief that the development of Turkey in 2005 to 2006 is hopeful . Newly revised laws will be the most critical factor for the development of the amusement industry. As long as the government loosens its constraints on management., the amusement sector will surely progress rapidly and reach the top in Asia and even in the world. Also , the four markets of Taiwan , Japan , Korea, and China are very strong in manufacturing during recent years. Coupled with the enhancement in quality and quantity , their potential is never to be under-estimated.
