Introduction
Racing game machines have always been the centerpiece of arcades and Family Entertainment Centers (FECs). Whether it’s a high-speed motorcycle simulator or a realistic car racing cockpit, these machines consistently attract players and generate high repeat revenue.
In 2025, with the global arcade industry expanding rapidly, many investors are asking the same question:
👉 How much profit can a racing game machine really make?
Let’s break down the costs, ROI potential, and how BLEE’s professional arcade racing game solution service can help maximize your return.
1. Average Income of a Racing Game Machine
The earning potential depends on the machine type, location, and gameplay pricing.
- 🎮 Standard Racing Arcade Machine: $1–2 per play
- 🚗 Premium Motion Racing Simulator: $3–5 per play
- 🏎 VR Racing Game Machine: $5–10 per play
If a single machine serves 80–120 players per day, it can generate:
👉 $3,000–$7,000/month revenue, depending on pricing and peak hours.
In well-managed arcades, a dual-seat arcade driving simulator often becomes the highest-grossing unit.
2. Initial Investment & Operating Costs
A new arcade racing game machine typically costs:
- 🕹 Standard single-seater: $3,000–$6,000
- 🏁 Twin link model: $8,000–$12,000
- 🔥 Full-motion or VR racing machine: $15,000–$25,000
Other costs include:
- Electricity: $50–100/month
- Maintenance & cleaning: $30–50/month
- Staff (optional): minimal, as BLEE’s machines support automatic operation and cashless payment systems
BLEE’s arcade driving machines are built for long-term stability, requiring little maintenance while offering consistent performance.
3. ROI Calculation
With average revenue of $5,000/month and total setup cost of $10,000, investors can often achieve:
👉 ROI in 2–4 months, especially in high-traffic FECs or shopping malls.
When combined into a full arcade racing zone, operators report ROI increases of 35–50% due to multiplayer interaction and competition-based gameplay.

- Location – Place the racing machines near entrances or prize zones
