I dont have any stats, but I primarily like B and C listers on a personal level and am looking forward to sharing more of them on route in the coming year.

I can say that by and large many players absolutely LOVE Bally Atlantis. It took many a while to learn the love but now it is one of the more requested games. (may also be that is it only .50 )

At our 1 location with lots of casual players, Baywatch and SouthPark gets love as expected. Whom doesn't like boobs and naughtly cartoons...

Hard to tell but another operator tought me early on to think of every game as an equation for route.

Total cost of game (base plus cost to get route ready plus time value in prepping it) minus value of game if you were to sell it in the future and then look at possible earnings.

Baywatch is one of those games that was worth taking the risk on for me and it turned out I REALLY like the game.

In general it is also going up in price, so even though I spent 1100 on it and then dropped another 500 to get it route ready, I could still likely sell it for more than it cost me at any point in the future which is a plus.

As it turns out the casual people like it and the players that have given it a chance have found it to be a fun and challenging title to do well on.

It would still take a long time to pay it off after accounting for operating costs and time investment but it has consistently held its own against other titles, including A listers and new games that cost 3 or 4 times what BW did and will likely be worth less if I ever sold them in the future.

Other titles that have done much better than expected include Tee'd Off and CBW.

I ahve found these tables are a good theme that casual people dont find intimidating. The hard core players that appreciate different decks tend to grow in to these GTB games over time once they realize there is more to the ruleset that meets the eye at first glance.
