PerformaVending Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Gravity Hill was great, Stacker is a proven winner, as are it's derrivatives. The Sega/Sammy Sports arenas were everywhere around here until recently, and they always seemed to do well. That's what I'd be looking around for were I in your shoes. Don't forget to check your local CL for anything cool that might be waiting for you. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brmorr Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Put some decent games in that arcade. Nobody is going to play a foosball table. I would stick with the air hockey you are already putting in there, put a crane(which one you got?), put some prize merchandisers in there such as Keymasters, BarberCuts, Stackers, etc... Then maybe a dual crane like Double up with plush and candy or a nice candy crane. Then fill the rest with good driving games, etc... No need for any racks unless you are going to run some sort of black light necklaces or light up stuff for the blacklight golf course. Don't know where you are located, but I am looking to move some games here in the Chicago area. Here is what I have: 2x Fast N Furious Drifts Time Crisis 3 Buck Hunter World Pacman 25th Anniversary Aliens Extermination(standard cab) Also have a SB candy crane which works, but needs actual claw fixed or replaced. These would all still be good earners in a arcade the size you have to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainor5251 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Located in Florida. Got a bouncy ball table in another one of the owners businesses and it does between 240-290 a month in bouncy balls but this is an indoor bounce house location that parents end up playing as much as the kids. Probably wouldn't get as much play in a black light putt putt location though since parents already have something to do (the putt putt). I would love to be able to dump that kinda of money into the location but fact is my budget won't allow it so for now gonna keep it simple and add a prize merchandiser like key master or barber cut in 6 months then maybe a second crane.

brmorr Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Really games are cheaper then you think and would probably pay for themselves in a couple of months. You can get Drifts and Aliens for 1K each, Buck world $1200-1500, and other stuff under 1K. A Time Crisis 3 would still earn and those go for under $600. Trust me, no one plays old arcade games like Cruisin, etc.. I see operators all the time thinking a 10+ driving game will earn just as much as a newer driver. It really makes a difference especially a location like a mall. Is there a arcade in this mall currently?? Will the arcade be accessible to mall patrons without paying for golf? All things you need to consider since your draw might be people not even playing golf and just enjoying your games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
