Quoted from RacingPin:

I would like to see more vending and pinball machines accept Apple Pay and equivalent. More people have there phones with them than they do change.

and they the Operators will have to pay the CC fees + maybe even internet / networking fees.

Quoted from Electrocute:

The future is credit cards, just like you see being used in modern vending machines. I enjoyed slot machines much more when they cashed out in coins. Hate that stupid piece of paper you get today. Maybe that's why I don't want to go back to Vegas.

sigma derby is still there and is still paying out coins.

Quoted from ForceFlow:

Out of curiosity, can you tell them apart with your eyes closed, or are the bills impossible to tell apart without looking at them?

And no coin jams in the coin slots, mechs, or bill acceptor.
There is probably a lot less labor involved when using a swipe card system rather than a traditional coin mech system. An arcade attendant would be far less busy (or not necessary). So, a location could potentially save money on staffing by going to swipe cards.

the card systems do cost a lot and you do need wifi or running network cable to each game as well.
