Quoted from Benepinballs:Well I have it right next to a brand new Out of the box Star Trek LE. So lets let the contest begin starting Dec 18th for one full month.
WOZ is paid for and I don't even want to say what it did in its first month.. Because nothing I mean nothing has come close. Most of my pins average about 600-2100 plays a month.
I personally don't enjoy the game that much, and despise the whole pay in advance finance my company idea. I was just posting a plain fact. Its an earner, Its build quality is incredible... The General public is drawn to it, Pinheads alone do not support games on location. That Monitor brings them in, like it or not.
Wow 600-2100 plays per machine sounds like a lot (but I'm not an OP so have no idea what kind of volume is 'normal' - not that there is a 'normal' any more).
Anyhow, what type of establishment do you have the pins in? Just wondering as I'm fascinated by the operator side of things. Since Stern has admitted that's a larger market, it seems like Ops opinions on how pinball is in the wild is pretty important (and I LOVE to play in the wild). I know the local bar I go to has several of us pinheads there almost every day (well every other day) and we play a lot. The replay on the Metallica is at 100M but after we get one it jumps to like 225M+ so it's hard to consistently get more than one replay on it. We do always pump in $2 at a time though for the 3-games for $2. But if we leave replays on the other machines they may often still be there the next day so I feel like it's more us pinheads playing than the general public...
