    I'm surprised no one has mentioned about the horrific things people do to your games. Someone tried to pry open the coin doors on free play games and even stole the toilet paper holder at our local arcade. People will carve their names,play with dirty hands and the maintenance to keep pins going can be a lot of money and time.

    I think you have to keep a good rotation of games or things get stale and people stop coming and that adds up as well. I think the world needs more locations and applaud anyone who is strong enough to do it. Best of luck

    I always thought I wanted to open an arcade too. Until a friend did. I'm to emotionally attached to all my games for that. In fact I feel bad when I see the couple of pins I've sold him after the public gets a hold of them. I went the Frolic route and that can be to much work sometimes. LOL
