Especially the bullys prize board, Be interesting how this differs from the MKI

Saw a new one in the pub this afternoon, Jack Potter (Wizard of Odds) by Voodoo. To bre honest I thought it was a JPM, it was an absolute shocker.

Dunno how old it is, but probably co-incides with Harry Potter and all that rubbish

[skabaz]

the jack potter machine is about 3 years old and was one of voodoo's first machines.

its crap.

bazpeeb how much are new test machines?

[skabaz]

you get them on trial at a price equivelent of a rental and then if it performs well we buy them outright.

if they are poor the we either send them back or the manufacterers recall them as no further support will be given.

thats what i'm led to believe but my boss does let me know the money details regarding new machines.

[lincs1]

thats the way most amuesment supplier's opperate with test machines, rental first and buy later if the taking's are excellent, it was the same way bass opperated test machines when i was working for them a few years back.

How much would it generally cost to rent a test or new machine (passed test)

I have been given a price to hire a Party Time Player (single PTA) £25. LE150. About £200 p.w. Is this a reasonable price?

[skabaz]

from us around £220-£300 a month for a new hi tech awp if you are in the pub trade.

HI

I notice that some of thease machines are from BFM do thay display any strange habbits we should know about, such as dropping in £2.00 and the collecting placeing 10p in and getting 100 credits lol.

[CoasterDesignerpro]

So is paying about £200 per week good for a limited edition (150 made) single player of Party Time arena?

why would you want a single player? surely half of the appeal of pta for the operator is that people seeing others getting a good streak up top will entice them to play in the other positions on the multiplayer.
