All the ops I know DON'T want to take any payment other than cash.

They usually report 25% of their income, and you can't do that if you are accepting electronic payments.

Maybe.

All the ops I know with big routes are still very "connected".

You have to carry cash to tip your waiters. If you tip on the credit card, they never get the full amount.

If countless people wanted to play, somebody would have some real cash to get change

I always have $500 on me in case I see crap at a garage sale, fresh un-waxed apples at a roadside stand (season is almost over folks), a good condition throwaway, the tip for the maitre d', strip bar money......

one would have to figure out if paying for the 5% fee on the electronic payments, plus the additional taxes going into the toilet for Uncle Scam by declaring 100% of the income, the bar wants cash - never a taxable check, then the family gets the cut they are owed - they don't take checks either (every conversion step loses more money); a lot of math there to figure out if you are really on top or not.

Even taking in 3x might not be enough to actually net you more money (even though the game is getting 3x the wear and tear).

LOL

That's great material.

PBR rocks! Nobody has better service.

Get your stuff the very next day (2 days max).

Pay anytime within 7 days.

Best use of networking on a pin would be to use the webcam to see and hear what players are saying about the game.

On my phone from anywhere in the world, I can view all my security cam feeds from my house and pole barn.

Intrusion switch on the coin door could alert you whenever the game is opened. OK if it's the bar owner unsticking a ball, not OK if the cash box is being pried open....

Now yur talkin' !!!!

My malware would find a frequency to overheat the coils, starting fires everywhere at once.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
