We had an arcade around here that had trouble getting going, Rusty Quarters. In their first year, they ran an Indiegogo to get money to cover operating costs. About a year later, they ran another one (and raised like $8000) for the same reason. Maybe 6 months later, they closed their doors.

Good luck with your endeavor, hope things go better with Fargo Pinball. Sometimes these things work out, and it was good to see LTG's SS get a facelift.
