Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

Great feedback, everyone! It looks like we've got a consensus. Plus, I just found out the slot is getting filled with a BDK, so there's no longer room for it anyway.
It's only a matter of time before another slot opens up, so I'm going to mull over possibly getting a SP or SMB. I have the opposite concern with those though. I think the casual players would love them and the league players would avoid them. The ideal pin for this location would appeal to both groups. The #1 pin at this location since the day it came in is TWD Pro, which appeals to both big time. I'm hoping the IJ4 I just put in will give it a run for it's money, but with only some appeal to league players I'm not sure it can beat it. The casual players are loving it.

give us some more details about your location for some more pointed feedback...

How many games?
What is the location?
What is the percentage breakdown in the current line up and what is the trajectory for games?
What is your gut on pinheads vs casual players?

from what I can tell it does nothing. I would spend on ColorDMD if you want to splurge. Takes a long time to pay off, but then you have a spare DMD you pulled out and the color seems to give a SMALL uptick for a couple months.

Reality is that once you find all the $$$ in the room I dont think there is much that can be done in the actual room to help you.

Efforts are best spent trying to promote pinball and get new players in the door.

If you have enough games and the time, then I suggest hosting a once a month IFPA sanctioned event. It will bring in some players and once some competition is on the line you may see them thank you for your efforts by dropping in more coins throughout the month.
