Guardians of the Galaxy (Pro) Stern, 2017
Star Wars (Pro) Stern, 2017

We operate a FEC and current lineup is ACDC, Transformers and Ghostbusters. GB is #1 in popularity. We get some serious players, but also a lot of button mashers.

I want to cycle one game out for new - and considering SW or GOTG but I haven't played either.

My thoughts:
GOTG seems like a playfield and artwork that would draw people in
SW has the theme to bring people in, but a sparse playfield.

Trying to keep location pinball alive at our facility! Any other operators or anyone with input as to which would be the best fit with a family friendly facility?

I think both games would be great money makers for all age groups.

We operate GOTG and SW in our ten game lineup. They are both very popular with experienced players and newcomers.

GOTG is perhaps easier and code is still improving, we had the same decision to make and decided on having both in the end.

Thanks for the input - that is an option I guess!

A lot of money to throw at pinball at once!

GOTG and ARMrLE and SW are really good earners. People gravitate towards a recognizable theme in an arcade.
Gameplay and features are secondary considerations.

I’d go with Star Wars. At my local pinball and arcade spots, there’s always someone on Star Wars. GOTG, doesn’t seem to be earning much, not too many people playing it.

Star Wars earns more because it's Star Wars, but I enjoy Guardians more. And Guardians' earnings aren't too shabby

Especially if you put my custom sound package in it
