This thought just came to me while I was at work today walking through a retirement home; I wonder how well a whoa nelly would do here? The home I was walking through has several common rooms for people to lounge around in and one is a rec room/den with a shuffle board Sitting against the wall. Whoa nelly would fit the decor of the room well and probably give that great nostalgic feeling to some of the residents.

I'd assume it would be a tough sell to the retirement home Managment, but they already have vending machines on site being run by an outside vendor.

Has anyone tried this before? Do you guys think it's a good idea, or am I delusional?

The idea will definitely get more popular when I go to a retirement home.

Lower the volume and it should be great, old dudes would dig it!

I've seen WOF in 2 different Senior Apartments.

They are cranked up loud so the seniors can hear it!

I used to work for an op who put out poker machines. There were old retired guys at each location that would basically spend every penny they had in the things.

So yeah I think you'd probably do good, but I don't know about with a pin. They will call constantly about every little minor issue, if a lightbulbs out you're getting a call!
