“Our company is excited and optimistic about the new suite of Merit products unveiled at the AMOA Show,” stated Tom Green of Blackhawk Music Co. “The new Entertainer and portable Firefly have many interesting possibilities for previously untapped locations. We look to Merit to consistently think outside the box and bring new and innovative products to the market.” The Megatouch Entertainer brings nearly 500,000 songs from the AMI network to the Wallette’s 17-inch form factor. No secondary jukebox is required to play music, as every Entertainer links directly to the AMI network and plays its own streaming songs. Additionally, being a Megatouch ION, players will also enjoy access to all of the latest 2008 games, right on the same system. This means that the Entertainer will reach casual gamers as well as music fans, instantly doubling the customer base. The new Megatouch Firefly, Merit’s lightweight entertainment system, can be handheld, arm-cradled, or simply rested on a tabletop. Designed to move as easily as a laptop, this portable, wireless device will open up entirely new ways for operators to generate revenue, as it can be taken to places where current systems can only dream of going. Various built-in security advances will ensure that the Firefly is only enabled within a specified area, and the device will alert the location when taken off premises. The Firefly has a long battery life and its base station can charge up to five devices at one time. Additionally, the Firefly will contain all of Merit’s games and have the ability to play music. The simple addition of headphones will allow playback of all the music from the AMI library, and the unit can remotely control AMI or TouchTunes jukeboxes.
