So I moved to this little town of 2 Million people in China called Yiwu that did not have a pinball machine.
I saw one at Diner Guangzhou and got in contact with the local Stern Dealer, because I needed a new Hobby.
I just bought a brand new TMNT machine that cost almost double of what is cost in the US because of import duties freight etc. and installed it at my favorite Bar / Restaurant on Jan 1st.
The machine takes Phone Payments through a QR code for a 0.6 percent processing fee.
1 game 12 RMB aprox $ 1.89
2 games 20 RMb
3 games 28 RMB
4 games 36 RMB
I was there every night spending more on Beers and Food than the machine brought in but I am loving it.
The first night we drank Beers and played until 6 am.
In 4 days it brought in $ 150 and this will be the first busy weekend Thursday - Saturday night.
I do not pay the owner but he sees it as an attraction that will sell more Beer. He and his employees can play for free.
Any advice / ideas for competitions?
We are thinking the highest score at the end of the month gets a free steak or something.
Or do something crazy first person to get x million points gets free pizza (one a week) for a year?
