Sega Simon Arcade

Colored targets light up across a wide wall panel. The player throws. Five in a row triggers a visible sequence replay.

Overview

Sega Amusements International, in partnership with Hasbro, brings the iconic Simon memory game to arcades in a full-sized skill-wall redemption cabinet. Players throw balls at lit colored targets within a timed session, with a two-phase structure that adds a memorization layer: hit enough correct targets to unlock the Super Bonus round, where the classic Simon light-sequence challenge plays out on the wall itself. Officially licensed branding and vibrant edge lighting make the cabinet identifiable on the floor.

Key Features

Two-Phase Gameplay Structure

The main round tasks players with throwing balls at lit colored targets before time expires. Landing five correct targets in a row awards extra points. Once the Bonus Target Score threshold is reached, the game transitions to the Super Bonus round — a direct recreation of the classic Simon light-sequence challenge played out by throwing balls at the correct targets in the order the cabinet displays them.

Skill-Wall Target Panel

The cabinet uses a vertical skill-wall format with multiple colored target zones that illuminate in sequence or at random depending on the game phase. The physical throw-and-hit mechanic — rather than a button or joystick — produces visible ball-on-target action that reads clearly to anyone standing nearby.

Animated Graphics and Audio Prompts

Onboard animated graphics and voice prompts guide players through both game phases, signaling when a sequence is displayed and when a bonus threshold is reached. The prompts are synchronized with target lighting so players receive simultaneous visual and audio feedback during the memory challenge.

Officially Licensed Hasbro Branding and Edge Lighting

The cabinet carries official Hasbro Simon licensing, including trademark branding and the recognizable four-color identity of the original game. Vibrant LED edge lighting runs the perimeter of the cabinet, making it visible from across the floor even in lit environments.

Single-Player Redemption Format

Configured as a single-player unit, the Simon Arcade operates as a self-contained redemption game. The skill-based scoring structure — where correct throw sequences unlock escalating rewards — ties ticket payout directly to player performance rather than chance.

How It Plays

The player throws balls at whichever colored target is currently lit on the wall panel, building a streak — five consecutive correct targets triggers a visible bonus alert and extra point reward. When the Bonus Target Score is reached, the wall shifts into Super Bonus mode: the cabinet displays a Simon light sequence across the target panel, and the player must reproduce it by throwing balls into the correct targets in the same order before time runs out. From across the room, the alternating target illumination and full-panel sequence displays on the large vertical surface are visible throughout both phases of play.

Specifications

Why Operators Love It

Dual Voltage — Domestic and International Deployment

The Simon Arcade ships with power specs for both 110V (2.1A) and 220V (1.1A) configurations, drawing 228W in either case. A single cabinet installs on a standard domestic circuit or in a 220V international venue — no additional power conversion hardware required.

Recognized IP Reduces Explanation at the Cabinet

Simon has been a consumer brand since 1978. The officially licensed cabinet carries Hasbro trademark branding and the four-color identity players already know, so the game mechanic is legible before a single coin is inserted — the onboard audio and animated prompts handle the rest.

Narrow Floor Slot, Tall Visual Profile

At 39 inches wide and 110 inches tall assembled, the Simon Arcade occupies a narrow floor slot while presenting a large vertical surface. The perimeter LED edge lighting makes the cabinet identifiable from a distance without requiring a wide floor allocation.

Broad Age Range in a Single-Player Format

The throw-based mechanic and escalating memory challenge work across a wide demographic — the main round is accessible to younger players while the Super Bonus sequence challenge engages older ones. A single-player cabinet allows back-to-back plays without requiring multiple simultaneous participants.
