Quoted from vid1900:

Yep, just like all the new "operators" learn:

You got 3 games taking in a total of $100 a week.

You add a 4th game.

Now you have 4 games, but still only take in a total of $100 a week.

Lesson: There is only so much money in a room.

I found this out very quickly. Even adding 'A' titles like MM and MB, the money just moves between machines.

I started with 2, then 3, now up to 5 at my location. Earnings have stayed the same.

I've had people say pull 2 and get another location. I reply, "But then I have to drink beers in two places, and taxi's are expensive!" I love my public man cave

I'm still waiting to see if JJP is going to do the profit sharing thing (emails sent, no reply). I would take a WoZ at my location if it did not cost me $7,500 + tax + shipping + brokerage.

Initially when I spoke with Jack he said it was going to happen. Nothing since.

Anyone have any inside info on this?

Quoted from jonnyo:

My friend installed 4 games at a location so I started running tournaments there every two weeks.

The local league holds an event there every month.

Quoted from mmuglia:

I didn't think we would hear how the game did on location after a week.

After a week is not a good judge. All pins do well the first couple of weeks.

Let me know how it's doing the 14th week, and the 30th week, and the 52nd week. Because at $7,500 plus tax and shipping, it's not going to make that back in a couple of weeks.
