Profit Share Explained

We only earn when
your venue does.

Free installation, no rental fee, and every repair and collection handled for you. You give us the space – we give you a new income stream and split the takings.

How it works

Four steps, no risk

Whether it’s a single fruit machine or a full arcade, the arrangement is the same.

Free site survey

We visit, look at your space and your customers, and tell you honestly which machines will earn – and if they won’t, we’ll say so.

Free installation

We deliver, install and set up your machines at no cost. No deposit, no rental fee. You start earning from day one.

We look after it

Our local engineers handle servicing, repairs and cash collections, and we rotate titles every 6–8 weeks to keep players coming back.

You get paid

Takings are split – typically 50/50 – and paid regularly, with a clear collection report every time so you can see exactly what each machine made.

The split

Simple, transparent, shared

Our share pays for the machine, the latest game content, every repair, every engineer visit and every collection. Your share is income from space that wasn’t earning before.

Nothing. We deliver and install machines free of charge, with no deposit and no rental fee.

Takings are shared between your venue and Diamond Leisure – typically 50/50 – paid regularly and backed by a collection report showing what each machine took.

We do. All servicing, repairs and parts are included, carried out by our own local engineers.

Am I locked into a long contract?

No. We don’t use contracts designed to lock you in – the arrangement works because we both earn from it.

What if a machine isn’t earning?

We monitor performance and rotate machines every 6–8 weeks, swapping out anything that isn’t performing for titles that will.
