Superior Skill Games—Lightning Edition | Funambulist Gaming

Due to new gaming regulations that were enacted in Nebraska back in November 2020, there are only a handful of skill game distributors that are compliant with the new regulations, making a small business’s options more defined.

Previously, there were approximately 25 distributors operating in the legal cash games distribution industry. Now there are only eight.

Skill game service

If you own a small business such as a convenience store, restaurant, bar, or other entity that can use an added boost to your income stream each month, you might want to contact one of the eight distributing companies that are still allowed to provide skill games to interested parties.

If you were using one of the distributors that are no longer compliant pursuant to new Nebraska gaming regulations and your skill games were removed from your premises, you definitely know the value these games can provide when it comes to increasing your revenue potential.

Contact one of the remaining eight distributors immediately to get authorized game cabinets back in your business.

What separates skill games from gambling machines?

Legal cash machines can be approved for use if the person playing them has an opportunity to control the outcome of what’s happening in the game, based on the player’s judgment or skill. This is different from gambling machines where the outcome is based on chance. Examples of non-compliant games might include slot machines, for instance.

Build some excitement

One of the approved skill games available to small businesses in Nebraska is an exciting new release of Superior Skill—Lightning Edition from Banilla Games, a skill game manufacturer, not an approved distributor in Nebraska.

Superior Skill-Lightning Edition features three classic-style nudge games, including NutShack, Silver & Gold Coins, and Double Shot. A nudge game is one where the game waits for the player to perform some action to move the game forward.

Superior Skill—Lightning Edition also includes two “hot swap” favorites, Bathtime Bucks and Spook’s Loot. So, there are a total of five games for players to choose from when sitting at a Superior Skill—Lightning Edition skill game cabinet.

These aren’t slot machines

At first glance, these games may look like video slot machines, which would make them illegal for use in Nebraska.

However, upon closer inspection, we find that these games are finite-based with what is called a “Mandatory Preview Feature.” Finite-based means that the element of chance has been removed from the game since the player has an opportunity to change the outcome.

Mandatory preview

In a mandatory preview game, the player can press the “Start” button to see what the result of the game will be before he or she inserts any money or spins the reels. The player MUST preview the outcome of the game before it can be played.

After the player has seen the outcome, they can opt to play by hitting the “Start” button again. Once the “Start” button has been pushed for a second time, the shutters open, or the reels spin, and the result is shown. The player then has an opportunity to change the outcome by performing a manual task that puts objects on the screen in a different position.

Follow the banana

As an added bonus, there is a “follow the banana” element in the game that helps to break the game up a bit to keep it more interesting.

What to look for

When you’re ready to add exciting games like Superior Skill—Lightning Edition to your business, look for a company that will do all of the work for you. Skill games should be available at no cost to you—no rental fee, no delivery fee, no registration fees, and no training fees.

Service and support should also be available for free if something happens to your gaming system and you need tech support or emergency dispatch for an actual technician to visit your establishment for a repair or swap out.

Conclusion

Superior Skill-Lightning Edition is a skill game cabinet from Banilla Games. There are actually five different scenarios players can test their skill against, including Nut Shack, Silver & Gold Spins, Double Shot, Bathtime Bucks, and Spook’s Loot. As skill games, these each require some reaction from the player to change the outcome of the game, taking the element of chance out of the picture.
