SKOWHEGAN, Maine, Oct. 28, 2024 - Amuze, a national leader in arcade and amusement solutions, proudly announces the acquisition of Ferris Music Service, Inc. (FMS) and its ATM division, Mainely ATMs. This strategic move bolsters Amuze's presence in the Northeast, building on the trusted reputation FMS established as a premier provider of amusement games and ATMs across Maine.
