Some people are never happy. Get an itbox. Then you'll really have something to moan about.

My union just got 2 new opens delivered so we've been having a dabble.

The Monsters of Rock game seems quite good. On machine #1 we got to the prize round and both followed a £3 card each. We were offered £3.50 so thought result and took this, thinking it worked similar to monopoly. We then remembered it said to watch 2 cards. So we went on machine #2 and ended up with the exact same scenario, but this time we selected the two £3 cards for £6

The rest of the games were really naff though. And a lot of them were so so so long winded.

A very quick deviation from topic.

Whiteswan- Whats the difference in weekly/monthly cash box takings from the quiz to the fruit machine?

Are you being serious, have you ever played a quiz machine and a fruity, can you not see the difference?

He asked what the difference was - can you quantify it? 10 times, 100 times?, 1000 times?

It's not a stupid question.

It isn't really a silly question, as the ratios, you'd think, would be pretty similar.

AWP: £10 in, win £30

SWP: £1 in, win £3

Only a potential example scenario and I know the percentages are very different (AWP: 70%+ SWP: 30%ish), but...

He probably won't tell us because

1) It would p**s off his players by letting them know how much money he is taking off them.
2) The VAT man might be very interested
3) Cool might consider the site easy prey; and want to visit with his Tea Bag, or to get Tea Bagged.

I'd guess that the Quiz machine takes a gross of £60 per week profit.

The fruit machine takes a gross of £194 per week profit.

I bet that GWHL truck driver got into hot water.

Is any of this correct?

Just got back from the moon.

Having never owned a pub, I was just trying to get a rough idea of the ratio between the two.

Just out of interest.

Sorry for venturing over to the quiz machine section, where it appears that some regular posters in this section are to far up their own bottoms!!

A few rough figures/ratios is all I was after.

Owch

sorry dude i just thought it was obvious that when you play a fruity at a pound a go which only lasts a second for 1 play and then compare it to a pound game on a Quiz Machine that could play for 2-3 mins it wasnt to hard to see the difference the takings would be. really its no contest but saying that it still is a substantial profit for those game developers if there games are on thousands of machines.

whiteswan · Post by **whiteswan** » Fri Aug 13, 2010 6:29 am

Its not as straightforward as what people think.

I own the quiz machine so have no rent to pay etc - just the ongoing cost for the games dongle and vat on the takings.

The fruit machine I don't own and have to pay rental on that every week - along with license money and vat - and the brewery take 50% of the fruit machine money and I have to pay the vat on their share as well.

So indeed there are weeks that the quizzer takes more money but they are few and far between.

Some weeks the fruity will pay several jackpots out and after paying all the bits out I have even had minus weeks whereby I owed them money to come out of the next collection.

Its swings and roundabouts - there isnt an exact figure or percentage I could give you i'm afraid.
