Game does flake out with monitor off sometimes and you have to hit the buttons to bring it back up and it keeps going back out unless a game is started then its fine for awhile. Probably software glitch somewhere.

I go with total count of cash in the box and bill acceptor $1360.

Unfortunately no new stern or old williams has done this well in my location in the last 11 years, not even close.

Will will see how it trends the next few months.

I really didnt know what to think of that big monitor, but it pulls traffic to this pin, and players tend to get a good crowd watching them play because of it. And its been in a crowded arcade with 9-10 other pins and tons of arcades and self redemption.

Earnings alone make me a believer unless is blows up in the next few weeks or something.

I thought the ticket price might be high for operators (vs home collectors), but those numbers certainly make it look like a good investment! I'd expect JJP to get slammed with more standard orders if those numbers hold up.

It'll be really interesting to see how these numbers keep up once there are a few WOZ games in each city. I don't it'll be doing $1,300 but I definitely seeing them do quite well and much better!

It is known and proven in this area that once a game has added LEDs, sptolights and lightstrips that they earn way better. The bright and updated looks brings them in, which is what woz has with the great light show and lcd screen

It seems the dimples show more at first when there are only a few. Once you get a bunch of them (kinda like a golf ball) they all blend together and it looks better. They are a sign that a game is well loved and played regularly.

Are you an operator? What percentage are you splitting with the location? Did you have to buy a license for this machine? Do you have to pay state sales tax on the game revenue?

I think that I read in past threads he owns the place and machine so no split.

Operator license and revenue- don't know.

Great post Benepinballs!! I love hearing about this. The only question I would ask is, "Are the earning related to the supply vs. demand of the machine." Right now this machine is not in many homes and is very limited in the "Wild". Will this continue to earn when it can be found in several establishments? I hope it does. I wanted to play this so badly that first chance I got, I spent $15.................I actually liked it, but haven't had the urge to drive 1hr to play it again.

I believe he was showing his "first month" numbers. I would guess ac/dc has been a consistent earner over most other titles in the long run. The game has also changed quite a bit since release.

Same game in my location has earned that in 17 days at 50 cents/play, 75 for 2, 1.00 for 3 plays.

Last month it earned more than that in 20 days and I don't get the traffic that you do. And at this point I'm giving you earnings numbers for a game that is 3+ years old.

IM got off to a slow start, and it took a while for it to come around and get respect among pinheads. It may not have been a good fit for your location. You may not like it, but kids play it a ton, as do pinheads. It can earn just fine.

Cool list, thanks for sharing (including the comments). Funny that Shrek had been the top earner and IM the lowest. As few Shreks that were produced and as good a game as it is, the game often sells for a discount from its original price. Remember when this was the norm for 99% of titles?
