[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 292762, member: 134"] I don’t know about Stern, but Williams System 11 machines certainly had the replay value change up and down depending on recent scoring. I hopped on a Centaur machine a few years back that on one quarter I managed to stay on the machine for over an hour, racking up at one point 12 credits. This was an arcade with 30 machines on site, all very well maintained. I talked to a tech that was working on the machine next to me, and she said they purposely made the free game threshold low on it because they really wanted people to try Centaur, and having credits left on the game (and indeed I left 4) means people would give it a shot. If they liked it, they’d then be more likely to try some of the other machines that were of similar era. She said they usually set 2 or 3 machines up like this so people's money would keep them in their a bit longer, making them more likely to hit the bar. Too bad for them I don’t like alcohol! [/QUOTE]
