Not exactly a return of EMs but I found this article quite fascinating.

if you're bored wayne do the sums on how many $1 credits a day each machine would have to take to have a business break even in say a 20 machine pinball arcade at current retail rent and wages. dedicated arcades wont be back until $5 credits are ok
No need to do the sums Doug I am always miffed as to how arcades & those providing technical services can survive commercially. However Timezone is privately owned with some experience so I assume they know what they are doing in expanding.
This is great news and I hope it pays off for them. I enjoy going to arcades, grabbing a coffee and seeing whats new in electronic entertainment. Let's face it, with the price of new pinballs and arcade machines I am glad some one is putting them out there for general public to enjoy.
LOOOOOOOVED the super sessions!

Nice, but I still prefer your arcade Wayne.
