Imagine the operator being able to market directly through payrange to its best customers. Things like, get your friends to download the app and get a free game. Stuff like that can flat out increase your profits, and bring more people to the games and more importantly to the bar... its a genius idea, marketing directly to pin players. The 4% take on the dollar has to offset the coin jams, and the down games..
Quoted from LTG:Me, I'd hate to lose the human interaction with my customers, best or not.
My customers are more to me than just mindless bodies that walk in and play with their phone and then push flipper buttons on a cabinet.
They get welcomed when they walk in, thanked for their patronage when they leave. And they know who to see if they have a problem or want to visit and find out what is new in pinball.
That's just me though. Maybe I am too old to handle change, or maybe I am an a hole.
LTG : )
Disclaimer : Somethings are more important than profits.
You are missing my point. You would have more customers walk through the door to interact with.. your best customers are already coming in, imagine if you bring in foot traffic of an additional 20 new people who can now interact commercially with somthing comfortable to THEM. It seems pretty powerful to me.
This has the potential to open up our hobby to many additional players. The operator can then market to them, a monthly coupon on their phone, "come on in and play a game on me" bring a freind... I dunno, sounds like potential to include more people, and pinball machines make more money with more people..
I have been in your shop three times Lloyd, and I love the interaction and the discussions we have had... I too wouldnt want to lose that....
