[QUOTE="Worf, post: 47957, member: 1047"] It's a balance. TZ is hard, and if players spend 4 quarters and feel like they didn't get their money's worth, they will avoid the table entirely. So what you'd get is a table that only gets occasional play. But make it cheaper and OK, well, it's not SO bad anymore... It's a form of supply and demand. Too cheap, and the table will be occupied with a line up and you're throwing money away. Too expensive, and few will play it. The right amount and people will keep it occupied without long lines or dead periods, and the machine will be maximizing revenue. Remember these things are made to make money. Make it too hard and after the first play, people will avoid it. Make it too easy and the operator has a busy machine but little money. Remember, it's all about value - if the player feels they're not getting a good game, they'll abandon it. Even on MM my shortest games I tended to have fun so I kept plugging quarters into it (this was when it was new). [/QUOTE]
