The American Amusement Machine Association (AAMA) is an international non-profit trade organization representing the manufacturers, distributors and part suppliers of the coin-operated amusement industry.  AAMA was founded in 1981 by a small group of amusement coin-operated machine manufacturers concerned with the future of their industry. A Board of Directors, selected by its members, governs the AAMA. Committees work with the Association staff to develop programs to promote and protect the industry. Members donate their time, effort and expertise on a voluntary basis.

For over 28 years, the AAMA has served its membership through legislative efforts, promotional  arenas, foreign business development and much much more.  It is our job to serve as the voice for these segments of the coin-operated interactive amusement machine industry.
