2014 Best Of Show Arcade Machine Awards Revealed - The BOSA Awards
Boca Raton, Florida (PRWEB) February 27, 2014 -- Marking its third year, and now with strong worldwide amusement industry recognition, BMIGaming.com and The Stinger Report announced today the highly anticipated Best Of Show Arcade Machines Awards (BOSA) for 2014.
The BOSA Awards recognizes the best of new arcade machine innovations and applications, as seen within the global amusement industry throughout 2013, with the awards noting creativity, innovation and originality in new arcade machines introduced in the amusement device and arcade game sectors.
The BOSA has quickly become a noted ”mark of excellence” within the amusement industry. Growing in size each year, the BOSA Awards continues to chart new arcade gaming trends and use of innovative new technologies that shape the entertainment arena.
New for 2014, the BOSA continues to expand its reach, with the inclusion of the new ‘Physical Action / Sports Arcade Games‘ category, for a total of four product categories which cover both groundbreaking and significant arcade and amusement machine product releases.
After an exhaustive review of the latest arcade machines, including new products released at the recent IAAPA Amusement Expo in Orlando, FL, and through an arduous voting process, the 2014 BOSA Award winners have been unveiled. Each category has only the potential for games to be awarded a Gold, Silver or Bronze Medal, or “Notable Mention” Award.
The BOSA Awards finalists were judged internally by the staff at both BMIGaming.com and The Stinger Report, based on products reviewed in 2013 and at the IAAPA Amusement Expo.
Finalists for the Best Of Show Arcade Machine Awards are assigned weighted point scores by our panel of (7) judges using all of these six factors: Game Originality, Game Uniqueness, Game Playability and Enjoyment, Market Relevance, Earning Potential and Pricing.
