Player One Amusement Group (P1AG), formerly Cineplex Starburst, is a Canadian arcade game distributor. The firm also owns Playdium, a large amusement centre in Mississauga, Ontario.
Formed in 2012, it was created via the successive mergers and acquisitions of Starburst Coin Machine, Brady Distributing, Premier Amusements, Sega Amusement Works, Tricorp Amusements, and Dandy Amusements.
After controlling the distributor, Cineplex Entertainment sold P1AG in 2024 to OpenGate Capital.
