I'm pretty sure that the Sterns and possibly the TAF there are all set to £1 a game or 3 games for £2. Two quid for three games works out a lot better value if you are happy to play several games straight off on one machine. I'm visiting Birmingham later this week, so will have a look in.

Unfortunately the Cafe in Leicester has now closed as the owner couldn't make the venue pay. This just shows how difficult it is to make money out of a pinball themed cafe, one that is non-licenced for alcohol.

I'm happy to pay £1 a game as long as the game is set up not too hard and is kept in good condition. Some of the pins in the Brewdog bars, and especially in The Pipeline Bar in London are set up far too difficult to justify paying a quid a game for 90 seconds of play!

I managed to pop into the Tilt Cafe in Birmingham at the weekend. All games were priced at £1 a game or 3 games for £2.

I was chatting to the manager Kirk about this, and he did show me the figures for the takings. Indeed TAF was earning more than the rest of the machines. Avengers was struggling, and this should be leaving soon. There is now a Medieval Madness set up there in the place of Judge Dread. It will be interesting to see what the earnings for that will be against the other Sterns...
