Games Warehouse Machines

[Vendition Ltd]

Hi Everyone,

I have 1 guaranteed site and maybe a couple more where I can put in a games machine. Just wanted to know the costs invved and whether it's worth it if you only have a few machines

I think this is where the real money is and have acted far too late as all the big companies are smashing them out

cheers

these machines are really struggling at the minute mate, & cost a few quid & have credit dongles that take a credit off every time its used, you have to buy more credits as you go.
Think carefully mate

i can recommend a crane win everytime machine as great earners in playcentres. As are sit on rides.

[cranedoctor]

yep & who better for cranes than me

[Venderbase]

How much would a small prize everytime crane cost?

[BigVend]

How much do you earn from cranes and sit-ons in a play centre?

[cranedoctor]

Cranes are the top earner in all these types of environments, as they are interactive & what you see is what you get. Amounts vary to how big the site is etc.

we have sold masses into this area.

I have a win every time which takes about £80 a week average, a sit on igglepiggle ride which takes £90 and a postman pat which takes £45 a week. Sit on rides done on 50/50 basis, crane grab on 20%. I reckon crane grab margin is about 35% as the soft toys are creeping up in price. Crane cost £900 plus vat secondhand and did need a new grabbing assembly within a month (140 quid) but does work excellently now.

Thanks Glenn.

Are these all in play centres?

Try to get the older style game machines without the credit dongles.I have a few of them takings average out around £130 a month per machine.
