Hi, e-mail me if you need help on how to get the most from dimwitted customers.
Use link on the previous page, and I'll do my best to help you!
If you own an arcade, or did once, or have any humourous stories about the dregs of your addict-customers, the e-mail them to me and I'll publish them subject to suitability.
I'll also accept stories like mine about how you made your fortune from AWP ownership/operation.
Regards, SIMON
10 PROFIT MAKING TIPS!!!
SPOT THE ADDICT'S FAVOURITE MACHINES, AND POSITION THEM TOGETHER!! THEY'LL PLAY 2 AT ONCE AND LOSE MORE. IF THEY WIN, THEY'LL PUT IT IN THE OTHERS!!
ALWAYS 'RUN OUT OF NOTES' IF THEY WIN - AN ADDICT WILL PROBABLY LOSE THE COINS IN OTHER MACHINES.
DISABLE ALL ' AUTO-HOLD' FACILITIES - THESE SLOW DOWN PLAY CYCLES!
ALWAYS PROVIDE TOILETS/FAGS ETC. AS YOU SHOULD AVOID PLAYERS HAVING TO LEAVE THE ARCADE.
DECREASE PERCENTAGE SETTINGS ON GAME BOARD MACHINES, AS THESE HAVE SLOWER PLAY CYCLE.
NEVER LEND PLAYERS MONEY; TAKE THEIR EXPENSIVE POSSESSIONS ON A 'PAWNSHOP' BASIS, SELL BACK AT 50-100% MORE WHEN THEY GET CASH!
IF A PLAYER HAS GOOD INFO. AND SEEMS TO WIN, SWITCH POWER RING OFF WHEN A LARGE BANK, PAY PLAYER AND USE EXCUSE TO TURN MACHINE OFF.
LOG WHICH MACHINES PAYOUT THE BIG WITNESSED BANKS, AND CHANGE PERCENTAGES AFTER HOURS TO AVOID PLAYER FAMILIARITY.
CREATE 'SOCIAL' AREAS, SUCH AS JOINED PARTY-TIME STYLE MACHINES, AND 'PENSIONER' MACHINES IN ONE AREA.
PROVIDE COMFORTABLE SEATS/SNACKS/DRINKS ETC. - CREATE A 'HOME FROM HOME'.
MOST IMPORTANTLY.......
YOU WILL TAKE 90% OF YOUR PROFIT FROM ADDICTS/REGULARS. KEEP THEM HAPPY, DISCOURAGE TALK RELATING TO THEIR PROBLEM BY OTHERS. YOU NEED THEM, SO ENSURE THEIR PEACE OF MIND - IT GOES IN YOUR POCKET, AFTER ALL!! IF YOU GET A SMALL ARCADE IN A HALF-DECENT SITE, YOU SHOULD OWN YOUR CAR/HOME WITHIN 3 YEARS, OUTRIGHT. THESE PEOPLE ARE WAITING TO TIP THEIR CASH IN YOUR POCKETS, FOR FREE!!

They are only guaranteed if no-one else is playing them professionally. Want to bet you'd win out them after one of the more clued up people here was on them ? If you could, then it would be an emptier in the true sense of the word. Value is value.. and a guarantee is an empty. Do not mix terms.anfield road wrote:I have several machines that are guarenteed profit everytime from Extremes to ******* and Noels beard
