Quoted from Da-Shaker:I'm guessing each machine will get an average of 2000 plays a year.
Guessing isn't good in business. Starting out you'll have to learn as you go.
Quoted from Da-Shaker:What pinball machine would you recommend?
You'll need to learn that too. What players at different locations like.
Quoted from Da-Shaker:Would anyone suggest adding led lighting, speaker lights or under box lights to attract more customers?
Might attract. Won't make any difference in the cashbox.
Learn all you can to have the best chance at success.
And don't forget the little things like licenses, zoning issues, get your own insurance so you don't get sued into oblivion. Is there already an operator in the location ? If that op has great games there, he'll have a contract and won't allow competition from his income. And think of the hours needed for cleaning, service, emergency calls to get to location. Is that time you want to spend away from your family ? As opposed to what you might actually make ?
Best wishes as you move forward.
