I'm aligned. I didn't appreciate the game, but man, did that thing draw tokens.
Then the hard playfield isn't too hard after all.Just got back from freeplay Florida. According to the coin counter it got just under 3000 plays :X
Grand prize was won 5 times, all by the same person, and I have t counted the balls for small prize yet.
The hard playfield has been defeated
Not if this guy kept emptying it... because there'd be a lot less than 3000 plays moving forward. But this guy won't have access to your machine likely going forward... so instead you trained a mercenary to go attack other ops. Still, it was pretty cool of you to put out a prize machine on freeplay. Most people (myself included) are not that generous.Yeah, this person played most of the first day and probably at around 75% of the second day, figured it out and was able to win a total of 5 out of, might be safe to say 1000's of the attempts :X
If it's 50¢ a game, it would have generated $1500. It holds around 50 prize balls, each worth around 50¢, so if they did clear out the game for $30, I would be able to replace all prizes and still have $5 left over
Probably because it needed to be to make any money, with the location's cut and what not. Product is getting more expensive and harder to get as well.
Freeplay Florida 2019 is where we first played gravity hill. I think the hard playfield is the way to go on a route for gravity hill. Big prize balls are 50¢ and bouncy balls are $25ish for 250.Not if this guy kept emptying it... because there'd be a lot less than 3000 plays moving forward.

Also you're not factoring in that most operators have to give a cut to the location... so this kind of play would really actually put you in the negative. It would cost you money to put out the machine and you'd have to be paying people to play and take your prizes. You mentioned the 50 prize balls, but not the minor prizes. Which are cheap but still a factor.
All of this is known though... you shouldn't operate true skill games if you don't want someone using their great skills.

Where did you get the hard playfield from?
Had to replace a few locks, the rope light, easy playfield... figured a one stop shop was nice.
