[QUOTE="Citizen, post: 286546, member: 6915"] Sounds like this would easily be at least a quarter million dollar investment overall for year 1, with the cost of machines, paying the part time tech, upkeep, rent, etc. If you sold $15 day passes, that'd be about 17,000 you'd have to sell before making a profit. So about 45 people per day wanting a full day of pinball. And that's factoring in a 7 day work week. I can see now why people pair pinball with bars. You definitely need more than just pinball fueling the initial revenue stream while you're trying to crawl out of debt. Also gives me respect for the places that have managed to open full on pinball arcades without needing to piggyback it on anything else. That's seriously an achievement. [/QUOTE]
