Operating pins at single game locations are a complete waste of time unless you are getting at least $300 a month (your cut) out of it.

Locations with multiple games in them in big cities that have a following is really the only way I think money can be made but you need to work for it keeping the games playing well.

That's it. That's how it works.

I don't know how you can pull off a 100% split - if I did that many bar owners with half a brain would SHOP AROUND with the competition, mind you I am talking about being in a BIG city with a competitive pinball scene. If you have a good earning location and the owner knows anything about vending, and there are other operators around that also place pinballs, 100% is a pipe dream unless you are in a two bit town....... (and 100% earnings in most two bit towns would be far less than getting 60/40 in a place that has a competitive pinball scene.

I get 60/40, but my locations earn pretty alright.

So the way I see it - getting 100% earnings, it's possible - but your location isn't really a pinball destination and probably doesn't earn much......if the location did earn well the bar owners would expect some of the drop...

Our pinballs are also $1 a play 3 plays for $2
