Amusement Source International (ASI) is preparing a broader Amusement Expo 2026 display, with more video games joining the redemption equipment it showcased at IAAPA last November. The distributor, which mainly represents arcade manufacturers from China in North America, will present several titles from Wahlap, 3MindWave, Bravo Amusement and Ace Amusement.
Storm Racer 2 and Storm Rider X
Wahlap and 3MindWave’s Storm Racer 2 and Storm Rider X will be among the headline attractions. Both games were first revealed in China at GTI Expo last September, while Storm Racer 2 later appeared on Wahlap’s IAAPA stand before ASI announced its distribution agreement.
The Expo will mark the North American debut of Storm Rider X; unlike Storm Racer 2, it was not shown at IAAPA. The two racers share a vertical-screen format and are designed to work effectively as a paired attraction, which could explain why ASI may display them together.
Storm Racer 2 is also being carried by Betson. The relationship between Betson’s offering and ASI’s distribution arrangement has not been clarified, and their pricing was reported to differ when last checked.
Trick Pong
ASI is placing particular emphasis on Trick Pong, a redemption game from Bravo Amusement. The title brings skill-based beer pong to the arcade, following earlier attractions in the same broad category such as Valley-Dynamo’s Jet Pong and Konami’s Scotto.
Bravo displayed Trick Pong at IAAPA, although its small booth meant the game was easy to overlook. The manufacturer has since released an official gameplay trailer, giving operators a clearer look before Amusement Expo.
Bravo has also stated that a single-player version is available in its social media announcement. It is not yet confirmed whether ASI will offer that version as well.
Crossbow Fishing
ASI will bring the smaller three-player edition of Ace Amusement’s Crossbow Fishing. The fishing and hooking game stands out for presentation details that go beyond the usual formula seen in recent attractions of this type.
Ace also produces a deluxe four-player cabinet using two vertical screens, but that larger configuration appears to be available directly from Ace rather than through ASI.
Dragon Kingdom
The second Ace Amusement title in ASI’s programme is Dragon Kingdom, which had already begun shipping ahead of the Expo. It combines a motion-shooter concept reminiscent of Drakons with original characters and voice acting.
The game appeared to perform poorly at IAAPA, but the footage recorded there may not have represented the intended experience. A computer overheating at the show is considered a possible explanation, as temporary technical problems are not unusual on a busy trade-show floor.
Additional ASI titles and equipment
ASI’s stand will also include several products previously shown at IAAPA. The line-up includes the videmption game Rooster N Bro 2DX, the Fortune Zombie shooters from ZS Cheer and Huatong/IGS, and Sunflower’s Box Stack redemption machine.
Vending and prize equipment will include the Case Pro phone-case printer, DIY Souvenir Coin and The Container prize merchandiser. Some ASI titles are also expected to appear at the Shaffer Distributing booth.
What the line-up means for operators
ASI’s 2026 selection covers paired racing cabinets, skill-based redemption, fishing, motion shooting and vending equipment.

Amusement Expo 2026 should provide a closer look at how these games perform in a full trade-show setting, particularly the North American debut of Storm Rider X and ASI’s presentation of Trick Pong.
