Has anyone tried to implement a card swipe system for classic videos/pinballs in their barcade? It seems like the easiest thing to do especially when you have a bunch of games owned by different people.
Players would go to the main machine, get a card that is either loaded with a certain number of credits or unlimited play for a period of time then swipe at each machine that they want to play.
My experience is that people really don't like to drop quarters anymore and a token setup is virtually the same with added expense. Seems like a card swipe on each machine is the easiest way to get people to drop the greatest amount per visit.
Anyone have any idea how much one of these systems costs to implement for a 30 machine or so location?
