I seem to remember hearing they were deemed illegal at some point (gambling) but I might be wrong. I know I never see them anymore.

we still have them in arky, the gas station on the corner has one and there's always somebody playing it.

bama... i'm gonna buy one and then just try to talk somebody into letting me put it in there business and maybe give them %25. even it takes home $500 a month , $375 to me would pay for my cc membership.

i had no idea you could make that much off one. says it's a tightly kept secret.

You would have to pay them at least 50%. And it's a cut throat business. At least here in NOLA. Most of the better locations have amusement contracts signed with companies and are locked in to them.

can't be to cut throat, not like there are different kinds of machines sitting there and you have to get somebody to choose yours, you get it in a store your golden, luckily i think i know a couple places i can get the hookup.

According to some sites...the payout is usually 70% to the player. So to clear $1k he's got to have $3,334 spent or over 13,000 coin drops.

More than likely, if the store owner has an ATM, the contract that they signed has a clause about coin op equipment.

And if course, if they have any other coin op equipment, they more than likely have signed a contract with an operator.

well trill entertainment might have to re-write that contract.

my buddy he owns the atm in their stores. it's a pretty small one but they keep it stocked themselves.

my latest goal is to find something to make money in a town of less that 7k people expansion is limitless. If i could put just one of these somewhere in every town in arkansas with 7k or less people and it pull in $500 i'd be making some money at a good clip. those tobacco store guys are rich as frick. they put those things in every shite town and clean house, same with dollar general there are over a 100 in the state.

50 x $500
25,000 X 12
300k doing nothing

If all the math is correct and your target markets are only 7k people, I seriously doubt you're going to make much money. 13k coin drops in one month is an awful lot for a town of 7k people...

And Dollar General is going to allow you to put a machine in their store that will take away money from their customers and into your pocket

correct and you have to pay for the machines and their upkeep and also the winnings from the machines.

You can make money doing this but it is TOUGH to get into stores and expensive to operate. Also, once a location proves that it makes money, you have to convince the store owner not to kick you out and buy their own machines.

Why not find a couple of larger markets and open an adult arcade.

Rent a space throw in a few coin pushers,video poker machines and penny slot machines. Instead of a cash payout, promote points for prizes. Get some junk on a shelf behind the counter and let them go crazy.

They had one in Springdale. Instead of awarding cash, they awarded Wal-mart gift cards. If you hit a 500 dollar jackpot you were awarded a 500 dollar gift card to Wal-Mart. The place stayed packed. Finally the city attorney shut down the gift cards. The owner then bought merchandise from a ABC catalog or some shite and it's like trading tickets at Chucky Cheese.

Make sure you have a large smoking area, little ole ladies who gamble also smoke.

It's a pretty good racket. You can make a ton off the machines and concessions.

And you honestly think no one else would have thought of this first and already be doing it if it was so easy to do?
