"To be honest, the arcade hasn't really taken that on board,'' he discloses. ''Abroad, particularly in the United States, 'pin-demption' has really taken off as a concept, but here FEC operators haven't really dabbled.'' ( Coin Slot trade paper )

Question on social media "Would leasing the machine from you with a service plan encourage uptake ?''

Distributor: '' Possibly but would be a massive massive challenge and take up a lot of time and resources. We offered a buy back scheme to guarantee a future value but operators in the UK are very slow in taking pinball on again, the only ones buying are the ones who love pinball....''

Not exactly Jersey Jack "belief " from this guy. Redemption arcades are common in the UK. Recently Jack said in Germany, " I will give operators a machine for free to prove earnings.''

Thanks Phil. I hoped you would reply. I have massive belief in the JJP product and the pindemption option. So much so that I plan to dip my toe in the water.

I know your prices for pinball machines are guaranteed to be the best in the UK. But the difference between US prices and UK is pretty shocking.

Why ?

Also I understand once every 15 attract modes there's a credit of names of employees ( like the end of a movie )
