Change is hard. We need to make the coin door a relic of days gone by as it is ridiculously outdated technology, form of payment and product thinking. Most of these machines are going into homes. I would rather let the operator pay for a payment mech if she or he needs one.
Quoted from Tuukka:For me, a pinball machine is a coin operated game. It seems absurd for a pinball to be without coin slots and coin mechs. But then, I am an old fart used to pay cash for play, whether a pinball or jukebox.
I'm also an old fart but I also think change is important. Whether we like it or not, coins and bills are being eliminated as a form of payment in more and more places. Plus there are advantages for the operator like being able to adjust the cost of games throughout the day and by machine and from a remote location. Not having to empty coin boxes has to be a plus. It's just an unnecessary element and I'd rather the money go towards something else.
