A history of ELAUT amusement games
A trip down the arcade games memorylane
Trusted by operators, loved by players.
Since 1959
The ELAUT company was founded by Achiel Verstraeten, who in 1959 became the first person to fit a gripping mechanism with three motors into one independent cart. He was also the first to automate the collection for bumper cars and auto scooters.
