Centuri, based in Hialeah, Florida, was one of the top six suppliers of coin operated video game machinery in the United States. Many of the machines distributed in the US under the Centuri name were licensed from overseas manufacturers, particularly Konami.

Centuri in its modern conception was formed when former Taito of America president Ed Miller and his partner Bill Olliges took over a company called Allied Leisure, Inc. and renamed it "Centuri" in 1980. Centuri discontinued their video game operations in January 1985. [1]
