Im 31 yrs old & I started my coin-op business from scratch. I operate in FECs & Bars & recently started a second business which operates a stand alone arcade with 10 pins in my hometown. In the 12 years Ive done this Ive never paid myself till recently. Ive had to work a full time job to pay my personal bills. The businesses are self sufficient when it comes to paying their bills, but please think long & hard before getting into coin-op. The bar market is terrible. Barcades in the correct city do good, but there bars 1st & arcades second. I am very fortunate my wife has a great job & I only work my businesses now, but man have I struggled at times. You have to have a burning desire & truly love pinball or video amusement or whatever type of coin-op you do. Remember you can be Disney or you can be Joe's Arcade and this equipment cost you both the same. You dont get a discount cause your small. Ive only recently had employees as well for my stand alone arcade venture & right now paying there wages, & paying the rent & paying utilities & paying machine bills I cut myself a check a couple times a month, but its $100 at a time. Love this venture 100% or you will burn out fast. Remember you buy a GOT or TWD premium its $7000. True pinball players who play in leagues & tournaments will pay $1.00 per play, but your average customer who outweighs your league player 100/1 will balk at that $1.00 per play, they will go on facebook & comment about it too. You gotta be careful & find a true balance of equipment you can price accordingly for your everyday customer.
