Game Requirements
All pinball and arcade cabinets brought to Free Play Florida should be in good working condition. We ask that all machines remain on the show floor and are set to free play for the entirety of the event. The brand new ballroom at Caribe Royale is huge, 32,000 square feet HUGE! We will fill every space with games, vendors, and fun experiences. Registering early helps us to plan out the best possible show with the most variety of games. Oh, and did I mention there is a real loading dock?!
What Games We're Looking For
Classic and current Arcade and Pinball machines! Do you have a custom machine? We like to see those too. At this time, we have enough consoles and retro computers for the console museum.
Liability
Free Play Florida has a dedicated volunteer staff to keep a watchful eye on the event floor and we do our very best to make sure that machines are not damaged during the event. However, we cannot be held liable for any damages.
Games for Sale
Free Play Florida is a great place to buy, sell, or trade games. If you plan on bringing a game that you would like to sell you are welcome to post information on your machine. Just make sure that the game remains for the entire event.
Please fill out the application form with your information, along with the number of games your will be committing to bring, we will follow up in the upcoming months prior to the show to ensure you're still on track.
