LOUISVILLE, Colo., April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Adding to a growing portfolio of successful pay-for-use Internet, Gaming, and Office kiosk products, ZOOX Stations has announced the Netzoox Self-Service Internet Cafe at the recent Self-Service Expo in Las Vegas. While similar in functionality to previous ZOOX Stations products, The Netzoox cafe platform offers significant hardware cost advantages and very unique cafe payment management software tools.

According to Rick Malone, President of ZOOX Stations and its parent company, KIOSK Information Systems, "Accelerated ROI is the cornerstone of the Netzoox solution design. In the pay-for-use Internet ROI equation, initial hardware costs are traditionally the toughest hurdle to clear. ZOOX Stations has developed an innovative modular solution architecture, which dramatically drops the per-terminal investment -- paving the way for much faster location profitability." The platform leverages single payment and output stations across multiple user terminals, eliminating duplicate investment in more costly items like bill acceptors and laser printers.

Netzoox has a full complement of profitable turnkey packages including Internet / E-mail, office services, casual gaming, and laser printing to help customers manage their busy lives on the road. ZOOX Stations offers unique payment management tools enabling customers to "carry forward" account balances and utilize time on machines at deferred times and alternate locations. "This functionality is not only unique to ZOOX Stations, but very valuable to the operators in terms of building repeat traffic and customer loyalty," added Malone. Additional solution elements include sophisticated remote monitoring, complete installation and field service packages, and consumer help lines to round out a completely turnkey offering.

The modular kiosk booth design can transform beyond just a "one trick pony" added Tom Weaver, Chief Marketing Officer for KIOSK Information Systems. "KIOSK has customers in a number of vertical markets that will jump at the cost benefits of this architecture for their applications. We see a great fit in a number of profitable markets including Education, DMVs, Corrections Facilities, Retailers, and Corporate HR."

Airport Internet Gaming Station kiosks

Passengers with idle time to kill at Denver International Airport can now play one of roughly 19 computer games at individual stations located throughout the concourses.

Users can play the games on their own or against others online, or they can simply access the Internet. The services cost 25 cents per minute.

The booths have been installed on all three concourses and will debut in the main terminal by July.

Zoox Stations and RMES Communications are behind the move.

"The single ingredient needed to make this machine a gamer magnet is idle time," Rick Malone, president of Zoox Stations and its parent, Kiosk Information Systems, said in a release. "Our development team has included the highest caliber gaming technology and a full complement of industry leading title options that appeal to even the most sophisticated gamer."

The new gaming and Internet stations give passengers another entertainment option during long connections or extended delays.

"Anytime you can help people pass the time or provide new services, it's a good thing," said DIA spokesman Chuck Cannon.

Zoox kiosks a hit at DIA

Zoox gaming terminal kiosks at Denver International Airport make news.

DENVER - Next time you have to wait for a flight at DIA, you have the option of something else besides listening to your iPod or reading a magazine.

You can also do a little "Zoox-ing."

Zoox are upgraded versions of pay-for-the-Internet stations that are scattered around some of the concourses.

A Louisville-based company designed the kiosks, which are described as Internet and PC game cafés.

So far, the kiosks are a hit.

ZOOX Stations, Inc. Launches 'ZAZOOX' Plug & Play Game Cafe

ZOOX Stations is formally launching the first turnkey pay-for-use game cafe at A.M.O.A. in Las Vegas on September 28, 2006.

It's an exciting turning point for the industry, providing operators distributors, and location owners an affordable venue to tap into the $500M online gaming market.

ZAZOOX is a high-performance self-serve game station loaded with many of the most popular titles marketed by PlayStation(TM), X-Box(TM), and a host of other top tier developers. Prime releases including Halo, America's Army, Half-Life, Counter Strike 2, and others, not only meet the standards of today's sophisticated local machine gamers, but also accommodate the massive on-line gaming market. Internet access with quick links to popular sites like MySpace, Google, and Yahoo, provides an additional tier of solid pay-for-use revenue.

"ZAZOOX is designed to address stringent operator ROI concerns by efficiently delivering the fast-paced criteria advanced gamers demand," said Rick Malone, President of ZOOX Stations. "The bar has been raised in home gaming, and it's time for a paid game station that fully leverages the popularity of these releases. ZAZOOX maximizes game play revenue with a library of over twenty high-end games that can be played individually, in local competition mode, or online. Multi-Player Online Gaming (MPOG) is a market that is expected to reach $2B by 2007, and we've built an incredibly attractive access point. While forging this new market space has been challenging, I'd say we've been very successful in effectively increasing operator market share and profit opportunity."

ZOOX Stations has over 300 custom-branded self-serve cafe stations already purchased and being rolled out to Army bases throughout the U.S. and Germany. "Initial field stations have been in place since January and have been exceptionally well-received," said Malone. "The Army Recreation Program (ARMP) has indicated aggressive expansion plans this year, which obviously speaks well to the station's adoption, performance, and ROI."

Based on a first-class PC platform, ZAZOOX is easy to service and comes loaded with remote monitoring and sales reporting. Down the road, new titles and site links can be inexpensively added to the same interface / platform, providing a unique level of hardware longevity. "In addition to leveraging multiple games and interactive Internet, ZOOX Stations is banking on the extended play and intensely competitive arena provided by on-line gaming," said Malone. "Given the continued rise in on-line and home gaming popularity, it's a completely natural extension to provide this caliber of entertainment in a self-serve environment." www.zooxstations.com.
