A buddy of mine just bought a bar. There is a great nook space that used to be a coat room. He's interested in putting some of my cabs in there. What type of split is typical (if there is a typical split) between vendors and establishment owners?

I think the standard split is still 50/50.
Yep..50/50I think the standard split is still 50/50.
Yeah but why not change the norm? Sure he's your buddy, but these games could get abused and there will be maintenance.
I say 75/25 with you getting the 75%.

what about the state/local vendor taxes?
reason I ask is because we ran into that here in Florida...they wanted
a vendor license and tax sticker for every machine at the location??
Put them in on free play for the first month and see if anyone even plays them, before you go making split agreements and spending money on tax tags and the like.

Great way to piss of customers. Put them on free play and then start making them pay. Having them on free play will not tell you anything about how they will do when people have to pay for them.
Agreed. The $ per square foot should be known for that location and that will really determine whether the games should be there at all, as well as the expected income from them.The problem with that is that any intelligent bar owner will realize that putting in extra seating like a table or bar space to raise capacity of drinking patrons will generate far more revenue than games ever will.
it may not even be your decision on the split. in my state you CAN'T pay on a split anymore than 50% to the bar owner. you have license costs, tax sticker cost and if you don't have them wait until someone finds out especially a competitor. you will have some major fines and plenty of regrets, so i would check into all that first before doing it so you don't find yourself in a bad spot. i personally get 60% and 40% to the site owner on the more expensive games like pinballs, BBH safari, etc. and the cheaper 80's games i do 50/50. don't be afraid to charge more than a quarter to play. all my games are 50cents or 1.00 each play and NO ONE complains and they play the shit out of my games. most sites average 150 - 350 per game every 5-6 weeks and rotate games to keep them fresh when they start to go lower on the play counts.
