    while that is cool I don't see that surviving location use

    I operate machines and it's definitely not what it used to be.... ROI is measured in many years

    and these boutique games are just that, in the grand scheme of things they don't matter

    I am sure there are a lot more AC/DC machines than there are WOZ's but that's a different discussion

    as far as operating, a smart operator (hint: not me) puts games out that are guaranteed to make money...

    there are less people that want to play pinball as vs persons that want to win a stupid pencil with 10000 tickets...

    go to a dave and busters and you will see every single machine that makes money... anything that isn't there, it's because it does not make money (D&B had 500mil in revenue 2011 so they are probably good at this)

    "arcades" are a rarity, people just want to go to kiddie casinos now
