These things have to be very profitable investments. Anyone familiar with how difficult/expensive it is to get a license to operate one in Louisiana. As well as finding a business owner who will let you put it in their establishment.

The people I know that were in that business were suspected members of a certain organization. You would be better off buying a business that has the machines already in them. With all that said not sure if they are the money printers they used to be.

They operate like Bingo cards.
As long as people have an interest in dropping the money, you have a decent idea of the machine take vs payout.
I know one company that manufactures them. They do leases in addition to sales.
I don't know anything about the establishments that allow them onsite.

I have a client that owns over 60 of these machines in various places across south LA. Most are in daquiri shops or small bars in N.O. new permits are hard to come by (welcome to louisiana). He told me a few years back that he averages about 50k in profit from each machine he owns.

I used to work on them years back.
Good luck getting into the game permit wise. That shite is organized to where only certain people get one.
You are better off trying to get them with a place you purchase. Even then keeping then can be he'll if the powers that be don't want you in the game.
Hell I couldn't get into it after knowing a lot of people and dealing with state regs for the better part of 7 or 8 years. If they aren't the issue the locations are.

Buy a gas station in Missouri and put illegal slots in. Th y don't care, because some one is lining their pocket.
A Missouri politician told me no one asks about the illegal slots money and where the large share is going, he said you could disappear, it's that much of a cash cow for those who started it.
Gas station down from me had 4 machines and is looking to shorten their cooler. Yo add 3 more.
Was in rural Missouri earlier and one gas station had 8 of the illegal machines. Mo hwy. Patrol been told to stand down.
It's f'ing weird how this is going on, as illegal as it is.

And, I was told when they finally get regulated, all who own will get a waiver to continue business, but actually pay mo taxws n such.

If they don't enforce rules, and continue to allow more gas stations put in machines, and build buildings for a gaming shop, is it really illegal???
