About CoinplaySA
From Coinplay To Playgate Digital Jukeboxes
A South African jukebox story built around commercial operators, venue partnerships and digital entertainment systems that give owners more control.
Our Story
Started as Coinplay, expanded as Playgate.
Originally started as Coinplay, Playgate was founded by Christie Lotter in the early 2000s. Since the first jukebox launch in 2005, the business has focused on high-quality digital jukebox products for commercial environments.
In 2017, Coinplay changed to Playgate after head office relocated to the Western Cape, South Africa. The new name gave the company room to expand into broader markets while continuing to support the commercial coin-operator industry.
Today, Playgate designs, develops, manufactures and supplies digital audio and video solutions for public and private venues, including touchscreen jukeboxes, music systems, video advertising products and cloud media services.
Mission
Helping operators and venues run better entertainment systems.
We deliver digital jukebox products and services designed to help commercial coin-operators and venue owners increase profits, reduce costs and gain better control over music and advertising campaigns.
Ownership
We take responsibility for our side of each partnership and stay accountable for long-term performance.
Integrity
We aim to be a trusted partner by operating honestly and protecting long-term value.
Adaptability
We adapt to each partner's business and keep improving how we support their needs.
Franchise Group Dynamic
Built around shared standards and operator cooperation.
The Playgate franchise group is regulated by group policies that franchise members help establish, enforce and regulate. These policies create a practical code of conduct for the group.
The model is designed to protect members, reduce unnecessary conflict and promote stronger cooperation between commercial coin-operators.
- Franchise members participate in setting group policies
- Group standards are reviewed through the annual conference process
- Operators work from a shared code of conduct
- The structure encourages communication, fairness and long-term cooperation
The Business Model
The group approach proved itself over time.
When the idea of commercial coin-operators working together toward a common goal was launched, many people in the industry believed it would not work.
At the time, operators often competed over territory without a shared code of conduct or reliable lines of communication. The measures introduced by Playgate helped create one of the stronger cooperative groups in the coin-op industry.
