Quoted from CrazyLevi:They were always a neat novelty but I just don’t think it works for pinball.
It won't sell thousands for sure. But if the project is viable with a few hundreds - Spooky scale - why not?
I could be tempted.
Real advantage for me is that, space being limited, the wife wouldn't count it as a pinball machine and it would end in the living room near the sofa... it's also a fun way to initiate new people as it is far less intimidating than a real pinball machine.
Rotation VIII is not exactly of tournament caiiber (far from it !), but it's fun for casual play.
Quoted from tamoore:My comment was in regards to how difficult it is to package cocktail games into an arcade.
But you can put them somewhere else than in arcade!
A pin in the living room is a no go for the wife but a cocktail table... may be.
And it can be fun in a bar - check North Star in Montreal for example; they have at least one.

Quoted from rotordave:I guess the question is, would you pay $4000 for a new one?
Why so cheap? Put the supreme logo in the middle of the PF and sell it for $9995!
More seriously... depends on what you get for $4000. Curious to see what a designer could do now with the physical limitations imposed by a cocktail table format.
