What kind of game is it and what condition?

I once sold a Centaur that had over 77,000 plays on it.

I've got a Surf Champ with a 5 digit counter at 90k. Most physical counters don't go over 5 digits, so it's quite possible they've been rolled, possibly more than once, and SS can't be trusted because the count is lost if the batteries die. There was a similar post on Facebook a few months back, and they had games at 150k+. Haven't personally seen any above 200k but I'm sure they're out there.

Looks like you pulled out of machine??

Rolling back for less than 200 plays????

My Adams Family, reimport had 86k in the audits when I got. It showed it too.

That could be coin switch pulses, which may or may not translate to that many plays, depending on pricing.

Awesome job on the cabinet!

three years ago so who knows now but this IJ4 had 100K plays

Don't know if that's a verified number but the OP's account is frozen.

What's your game plan for the inserts and more generally the playfield?

Nice one! Looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

That orange under the backbox hinge is pretty cool. lol

Is there any way to keep a cabinet from fading with a special clear coat or paint with a stenciled cabinet?

71,628 is the highest in my house right now with 4 Square. I'd love to know how many plays are on my Eight Ball, but the CPU was completely cooked when I got it.

I've had games with twice this much but currently Big Daddy is at 85,175. Original playfield and the entire machine are still in top shape. One of the nicest games I've owned.

TSPP coin drops from chuck e cheese sourced game.. That is at least 60k plays. PF in good shape. I get random failures like coil stops breaking off, plungers breaking, switch leafs breaking.

I own a Funhouse with over 100k plays on it. AND IT WILL NEVER BE RESTORED AS LONG AS I LIVE.

The IJ in the Indiana Jones store at Disneyland California has just over 1 billion plays.

Nice one, I forgot all about that machine. I believe it's been there since it was new.

I'd believe that. I've put a few plays on that one myself.

I would love to see pictures of this game.

1 billion is impossible... It takes 31 years for a billion seconds to pass. Did you mean a million?!

No. That's how many plays are on their TronLE.

Well, that's easy enough. It's just inside the bazaar.

Indiana Jones the pinball game came out in 93. Lets say 16 years ago.

16 years x 365 days a years = 5840 days it could be at that site
1,000,000,000plays / 5840days = 171,232 plays a day.

A million plays is still 171 plays a day in that time period. Feasible, but A LOT for 16 years straight.

For Tron to have a Million plays by now.....

5 years x 365 days a years = 1825 days
1,000,000 / 1825 = 550 games per day played. Assuming the store is open 12 hours a day, that is 45.8 plays an hour!!!

Basically someone is fudging the numbers.

2016-16= 2000 not 1993

Basically someone is fudging the numbers

My bad, that only makes it 105,374 games played per day to reach 1 billion.

Inside a Cue Ball Wizard I picked up recently. I don't know if that's coins or plays; machine has a credit switch added and rigged for free play, and I don't think the counter has incremented since I've had it.

Machine showed wear in spots but is in really nice shape overall with a beautiful playfield. But based on some of the dead coils I found amongst the other debris in the bottom cab, it's endured a few interesting incidents during its life

We had a bdk that when we sold it had 160,000 plays roughly. It would have a good 400$ a week in coins at 50c a game. But it was in the best arcade around anywhere here.

The same arcade had 6 digit counters on the driving games like smashin drive that had rolled over. So over a million coins through those. The original daytonas made hundreds of thousands there.

Many early Bally SS machines would indicate 8 to 900,000+ plays. Thanks to scrambled memory.

Biggest counts I've seen.. Not pinball, Daytona USA twins.

Holy shit, I just realized... that would almost HAVE to be counting coins and not plays, wouldn't it? Because you can adjust how many coins net how many plays, but that simple analog meter wouldn't necessarily compensate for that. Or even if it did (triggered at at the start of ball one), you would still need to know what the coin/play ratio was and when it was changed, to know how much money those plays were netting. As an op, it's about the money. So cunting coins alone would always be a guaranteed one-for-one reading.

Which means at worst case - if you take the readout as coins (quarters) and not plays (dollars, or 50 cents, or 25 cents) - that stupid Cue Ball Wizard hauled in over $27,000 in its day. It paid for itself what, at least 6 times over if not more?

That Daytona USA hauled in over $166,000...!

Was being an Op really that lucrative?!?!

Am I in the wrong line of work?

There is a reason you still see old drivers still on location. They earn $$$

My daytonas made over 200k per seat before I scrapped them. Keep in mind you must split with the location. Ops that got into the poker rush became millionaires in a matter of years. Family fun centers still earn well with new Mario karts and new Jurassic park games etc. but Mario karts are 25k a pair plus a credit fill lol. Some locations still do 20-30k on a games a month.

Yours?

Seen a 2 year old af with 100.000 play's on it.
Af has beat every pinball on that lokation.
