Quoted from tiesmasc:1000 plays in 6 weeks... so a bit over 150 / week.
And if I recall correctly pyramid scheme does EB's and not replays...
So... is $150/week good or bad? That's payback in <1 year... but I'd guess most want it in 3-6 months?
Those are total plays, not paid plays. Total plays can include operator testing, free play for an event, owner playing the game for fun, it could be anything. Suffice to say that if the operator was grossing $150/week he wouldn't be selling the pin. So whatever the amount of gross earnings, the operator must believe something else will do more $$ in the same spot.
