What does Social Amusements do?

Social Amusements is a route operator that places and services jukeboxes, pool tables, pinball, bar video games, and ATMs in bars and venues. We handle installation, cash collection, music library licensing, maintenance, and equipment swaps. Venues pay nothing upfront and no monthly fee — we split net revenue.

Where does Social Amusements operate?

Southern California (Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino counties) and the Tampa Bay area of Florida (Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties). Headquartered in Commerce, California.

How much does it cost a bar to host a jukebox or pool table?

Nothing. No upfront cost, no monthly rental fee, no subscription. Social Amusements supplies the equipment, installs it, handles all maintenance, and splits a share of net revenue with the venue. The exact revenue split is agreed in writing per location.

What brands does Social Amusements carry?

Manufacturer-authorized dealer for TouchTunes and AMI Entertainment (jukeboxes — Virtuo, Fusion, Angelina, Curve, Mini-3, Infinity), Valley and Global (pool tables), Gottlieb and Stern (pinball), and Nautilus Hyosung (ATMs — Halo II / MX 2600SE).

Is Social Amusements veteran-owned?

Yes. Family-operated and Army veteran-owned. SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business) certified through the Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE). Listed on BuyVeteran.com since 2016. Wounded Warrior Project supporter.

How long has Social Amusements been operating?

Social Amusements LLC was founded in 2014. As of 2026, 12 years on the West Coast and Tampa Bay markets. Profiled in RePlay Magazine's operator interview series, September 2022.

How do I get started placing equipment in my bar?

Call the route desk at (562) 442-2938 or email info@socialamusements.com. We'll schedule a walkthrough of your venue, recommend equipment based on footprint and crowd, and provide a written placement agreement before any install.

Are there any long-term contracts for venues?

No long-term contracts. Every Social Amusements placement starts with a written route agreement that covers the revenue split and service expectations, but venues are not locked into multi-year commitments. The relationship is built on consistent service, not contract length.

Who handles maintenance, repairs, and music licensing?

Social Amusements handles everything: installation, on-site service, equipment swaps, music library updates, BMI / ASCAP / SESAC licensing for jukeboxes, and ATM cash restocking. The venue does not file paperwork, manage licensing, or call vendors. If something breaks, the route desk dispatches same-day service.

What kind of bars and venues does Social Amusements work with?

Dive bars, sports bars, cocktail lounges, pool halls, nightclubs, pubs, and taverns. Equipment is matched to the room: high-volume sports bars often pair a TouchTunes Virtuo with Big Buck Hunter and a Halo II ATM, while quieter cocktail lounges might run a single AMI jukebox and a Valley pool table. We walk every venue before recommending a mix.

Veteran-owned · Family-operated out of Commerce, CA · Since 2014

The amusement operator bars actually call back.

Social Amusements has been running route since 2014 — a veteran-owned, family-operated business headquartered at 5800 S. Eastern Ave., Commerce, California, and covering Tampa Bay, Florida from a second operation. Founded and run by an Army veteran. Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) through the CVE, a registered veteran entrepreneur on BuyVeteran.com, and a supporter of the Wounded Warrior Project.

No corporate middlemen, no 60-page contracts, no "amusement solutions provider" pretending to be a tech company — just a truck full of gear, a tenured technician behind the wheel, and a handshake revenue split.

We're the guys who answer the phone on Friday night when the jukebox eats a five. We're the guys who know which Big Buck Hunter earns in a bikers' bar versus a sports bar. We read your floor, we pick the gear that fits your crowd, we install, we service, we collect, we split.

You pour drinks. We keep the room spending.
