You have so many good titles that it’s hard to say really. There’s a lot of big hitters in there for sure.

Go with something that won’t break... IM!

Might be a toss up between SW and GOTG since both are active and current franchises. AFM might be after those just because of how eye-catching the LE is. Then maybe DI, AS, and BAT66. And maybe ACDC and IM trailing last.

That's my wild guess, anyway.

I voted for GOTG, while it's still early, it's a franchise that's current and that everyone knows. That's got to be worth a few coins, right?

if you have a wide aged range true family demographics, star wars and guardians will earn the most.

I hear it's Skee Ball all day every day.

I have a friend who operates lots of pins, and he told me Star Wars is making a killing on earnings

SW first, GOTG second, AFM third is my bet!

I voted for GOTG but it appears most are leaning towards SW.

In this scenario you need a game that wont break down (lots of play going to happen), one with a recognizable theme (assuming you need to draw people in from other fun stuff in the park?), and one with short ball times (both to bring in more money and because people have other things to do).

My guess is SW (not sure how reliable the LE is but the pro has so little on it that ball times are quick and nothing to break).

After that would be IM and maybe GOTG. Both short ball times for casuals (GOTG can be excessively long for players).

Long term DIle will win out for sure. People love the game, lots to explore and it is steadily played. If your patronage has a bit more time to play then this will be the one the explore more and play more.

There seems to be a bit of confusion in your question. Some people are answering it as if you own all these on route already and you are having us guess which will earn the most (Star Wars). Others are answering like you are asking which of these you should put on a new route (Iron Man). So can you clear up which question you are asking?

Star Wars all the way. Do you have any classic pins on location?

Holy shit what a lineup to have on location and 2 AC/DC BIB LEs wow.

I think I need to tell the kids Disneyland Paris is off the cards and Pinland Denmark is now on

Great lineup but I think SW will take it just on theme alone.

I saw most of these on free play Friday with a crowd of people, and it took much of the night before I found AFMr unattended.

i have to believe dialed in will grab most folks just based on the brightness and overall scream of look at me from the outside of the cab to the back box and to the playfield. thats an eye opener.
thanks

Some people are so aaccustomed to licensed themes that they don't understand DI. I love the theme. It's like all Lawlor pin themes rolled into one, Earthshaker, Whirlwind, plus the story of a rogue cellphone causing the disasters is like a modern-day Twilight Zone episode. Very imaginative stuff compared to the usual movie/rock band deal.

SW hands down. GOTG is a fresh theme but it's just generic disney and isn't iconic like SW.

SW because of theme, quick game times, and definitely has that "one more game" feeling. Keep us posted after a couple months.

Biggest earner, probably SW LE. The questions is will you make more on SW LE to cover the initial cost of the LE over one of your pro/vault options? After looking at them I guess I would still go with biggest earner and profit to SW LE (although I didn't care for the game).

SW premium is earning 2x DI at my location. Star Wars earnings have been consistent from day one. Dialed In had a huge honeymoon period the first month (it was one of the first in my state). If you take away the honeymoon, SW is earning almost 4x DI.

Yeah, I feel like everyone likes Star Wars and if someone who didn't know anything about pinball saw it I feel like it would draw them in because they like the franchise.

You did ask for best earner, not best game. Star Wars is the best theme for casual fans, it will be your best earner. Is the best game on the list, no.

WOW!!! Amazing how different things can be depending on locations.

May be time to try moving DI to a different spot for you. Is pressplay mainly players for your coin drop?

That's what I've always believed.

It is pretty rare that I see someone playing Dialed In that I'm not on a first name basis with.

You need to update the Wikipedia page for that amusement park. It mentions the gaming hall equipment (slot machines??) but no mention of pinball.

Yep. Dialed In faded to the middle of the pack here too pretty quickly. Still gets good play, just nowhere near WoZ holding power.

Good to hear wrestlemania le did well, I would think Ironman would make the money based on history, all fantastic titles.

*googles "Klampenborg vacations"*

Biggest earner is usually TAF - would be interesting to put that in the line up to see how it compares.

At level 257 on several occasions, whenever kids would step over to the pins (rarely). Mostly Star Wars, BM 66 or Woz were getting repeated card swipes. The others were used less frequently. I’m going to say it’s all about your theme recognition.

Long term DIle will win out for sure. People love the game, lots to explore and it is steadily played. If your patronage has a bit more time to play then this will be the one the explore more and play more.

There is no long term this is not a Barcade it is a amusement park you go for a very high priced day and the games are on the bottom of the to do list

try it at your new place. My observation is that it gets more coin drop from casuals (much like Hobbit) than players. For some reason the players hit it hard when it first came out but have shifted to other games while the casuals still are drawn in by DI.

We added a nice TAF to the route I help with and it now regularly beats the XMEN LE that was formerly top at the location.

Same experience with DI here, very strong start but has faded quickly into an unremarkable performer. I see casual players walk right past it as if it isn't there. SW Pro beats DI regularly each week and is beginning to gain more traction with players after 1.0 code update.

This forum seems mostly home owners and some operators. I'm strictly a location player. Always will be as long as people are routing their pins near me. I could have a room with five games and still seek out a different flavor. I don't have any, so this is my way to play. If I'm in your area, I might hunt down a spot with pinball and yours might happen to be there. That said, being located where I have to pay for an entrance fee somewhere like an amusement park (unless it's a flat amount for pins on freeplay) I am probably less likely to find it.

I will play and keep playing (and paying) most any pin that works and is set up right. If it is, the theme could be My Little Pony for all I care for as rare as pinball in the wild is these days. Also, any pin with a lame theme that plays right still beats a pin with a great theme with a flipper that can't make the long shots, or has cheap drains like the GB pro in the public pin location nearest me with its librarian scoop on the left side firing the ball SDTM with force. That sucks at $1/play. Make extra balls just enough so that a player like me, someone pretty good but no champion or wizard, get a little deeper into a game and fall just short of getting the big one, and I'll coin up again. I won't be putting your kids through college or anything, but I'll help smooth out the dimples in your PF. Keep those wood fibers compressed for sure.

My five-hour freeplay on Friday night will include more games on Dialed In. It's more interesting to me than any of the licensed themes, especially the rock band themes that are pretty played out and shallow, plus JJP's machine seems quite solid like an old Bally. I won't be shaking that thing around too easily. Watching tutorials on it now. Not settling for participation trophies this time.

So it's been a month since you posted this. What is the frontrunner?

Probably Stern SW but GotG and DI shouldn't be dogs either.

A crane

So if Dialed In is the top earner, what are your top 3 earners?
