Arcade video games an essential part of FEC operation Game rooms have become commonplace in most entertainment facilities. Through consignment, operators no longer need concern themselves with the high cost of game maintenance, rotation, and other negatives that come with game ownership. These little profit centers can gobble up bags upon bags of quarters in a single evening. Some games occupy as little as ten square feet and can return an unequaled profit margin with regard to in place cost. Redemption centers, targeted primarily at the pre adolescent, entice customers to spend more in a shorter time frame.
Some operators have talent for acquiring unique redemption items.
Some of my clients choose to operate non redemption based game rooms, and this approach works best for them. Others recognize redemption as essential to their business. The trick is to know how many games and what type to consign for your market and how to strike a deal with a game company for top line equipment, service, and preferred rates. That only comes with experience. In a well managed game room during peak business hours you'll see all games being accessed with few customers waiting.
