I'd join, just please trolls stay in your caves with your X-box 5000s...

Here is a map of the games on route in my area,

Seeing as I have more time to dedicate to my route now,
I'll be spending a day or so at each location,
studying habits of players and poll what they think.
Also, I'll be giving them copies of my latest 904 Pinball Zine
which then leads them to many more of my games.
For those that are all jacked up about pinball they'll get a promo sticker.
I figure that the return on my time/efforts will be worth it.

I'll be doing this to my future JP.
I have only upstacked bill acceptors so far.

LEDs = better earnings, especially in the dark.

Yound Loud And Snotty... (Dr Dude moved)

I listen to what I like haha.
Piss yellow lighting in games in the dark is gross.

I route games that I believe are worth 50 cents a play/that people are will pay 50 cents to play.
I personally have no desire to route games that would be considered worth 75 cents or $1 a play.

With my older games like Dr Dude and Big House they are 5 balls for 50 cents.

I'll never ever do that 3 games for $1 crap.

I've done 5 games for $2 but most likely won't do that again.

What % of your earnings comes from bills on games with bill acceptors.
I do the math on occasion on some games and it's typically 30% on games,
even with a change machine around the corner as well.
There are some exceptions where it's really low bills and mostly quarters though.
Basically, it doesn't hurt to have a bill acceptor when possible

So I've got a SMB and TMNT pinball at a place,
really, 2 AMAZING themes, good bang for buck for route,
what game would look good/earn good bang for buck in-between these?

Do you keep spare parts & tools in games?
