The Casio Game Rider 18 cabinet (カシオゲーム ライダー18) was also known as Marine Game Rider 18 (マリンゲームライダー18) since Marine Game= former Casio Game company. It was sometimes just advertised as Marine Game's "Rider 18" or even Casio Game "New Type Rider" but the stock original 1 player panel displays "Game Rider 18" on the lower right corner. Rider 18 was compatible with SEGA Aero City control panel format. Casio Game branded models featured the typical Casio logo on the chassis and the panel, while Marine Game models appeared as generic, without said logo (see Casio era original stock model pic below in Gallery). The Casio Game "New Type Rider" flyer stipulates the control panel is made of a hard stainless steel to minimize scratch marks and features a novel type of optional dual function drinking cup & ashtray holder on the left side.

Toyo Bussan (now Techno Associe co., Ltd) produced a generic cabinet, Emperor 18, slightly less refined in its aspect but strikingly similar to Casio's Rider 18.

Casio released also a Rider Table cocktail cab, but in a rather different design style compared to the Rider 18 sitdown.
