I hate to sound like a downer, but I totally agree here. Unless you are very confident in the foot traffic at the bar and the amount of plays you would get...you may not find it worthwhile.

Through a buddy of mine, I got talked in to placing a few machines in a local bar. I didn't scout it out ahead of time, so shame on me. For the past few months I'm averaging about $25 a machine after a 50/50 split. Definitely not worth the wear and tear in my opinion. A few weeks ago I was there on a weekend, and the outside was packed with kids and parents. Thinking I was going to have a good weekend, I checked inside and no one was playing! I can't figure it out. Just not a good spot for the demographics I guess.

I told the owner I would be pulling the machines. He asked if he could buy them from me, and would I be available for maintenance and repair. I'll probably sell two of them. In my opinion, I'll be in much better shape just doing that maintenance.

I've seen other threads where machines are killing it, so I know it's possible. Just need to make sure you have a location that works!
