Shaffer Entertainment

Shaffer Entertainment supplies bars, restaurants and family entertainment centers with coin-operated equipment, including pool tables, electronic darts, digital jukeboxes, arcade games, pull tabs and ATMs. The company installs, maintains and repairs the equipment, handles collections and provides reporting on how each machine performs.

The arrangement is a profit share: Shaffer pays for the equipment, installation, parts and repairs, while the host location provides the space and the customer traffic. Revenue is split between the two sides, and the company says it shares collection and operating-cost details openly. The company has been in business for over 35 years and is family-owned. Its Columbus location is on Oxley Road, and it also operates in Dayton, Indianapolis, Toledo, Livonia and Richmond.
