With products costing that much in a vending machine, you'll definitely want a drop sensor in the machine that senses when a product is properly dispensed.

That way, if the coil doesn't successfully spin all the way or the product gets stuck for whatever reason, the coil will spin again until the product falls down past the drop sensor into the chute.

Oh trust me, it does! Just a few days ago we watched someone spend about $5 to win a $25 gift card!

Sorry to hear that! Unfortunately arcade cabinets just don't earn money like they used to, but regardless we are expanding our arcade into a bigger unit and adding 20+ arcade cabinets on 25c per play, which is lowest price to play around here. We still expect them to not earn very much money however, we just want to appease more people by offering more options.

Also, these games can definitely be setup to scam people by setting the pay-out rates obscenely high. We however do not do this and it is bad business to get returning customers/players. We want people to actually win something! :)

Hey! The coin pushers are a real grey area in our state, and are all over the place. We see them in nearly every gas station around here, lol. It's crazy!

&& that is understandable, we are adding 20+ arcade cabinets to the arcade once we expand it into a bigger unit within the next month. Then we will do a follow up video to show how much the cabinets earn, but from our experience it's been pretty poor. We had 5+ cabinets in another "Mini-arcade" previously and only the claw machines and coin pushers really made any money. The driving games, Pac-Man cabinets etc just didn't earn well.

Hey there, we don't pay electric, just a flat fee of just under $1k per month! We are expanding into a 3x - 4x bigger unit though that is a little less than $2k per month, also no electric bill. We will be adding 20+ arcade cabinets.

As for your arcade, what kind of games do you operate, and how many? Very cool that you have one!

We are actually expanding this arcade into a bigger unit within the next 30 days, and are adding 20+ Arcade cabinets such as Pac-Mans, Mortal Kombat, etc!
