How do you make money out of coin operated equipment?
This is a proven industry model that you may find in many countries around the world.The basic principle is that you make an investment by purchasing an income generating piece of equipment. E.g.. Pool Table
You then place this equipment on a suitable site. E.g.. a pub
You negotiate with the site owner a reasonable split on the cash generated.
You then cash the machine up on a regular basis paying the site owner his share & keeping your share. Your best "Operators", as they are called ,are able to manage hundreds of machines, finding the best sites & minimizing their running costs thus receiving excellent
return on their investment. Machines have been known to pay for themselves within 2 to 3 months but this is the exception rather than the norm.
Pool tables have traditionally formed the core of most operators rounds from where they have expanded into juke boxes, soccer tables & video games.
IT IS A CASH BUSINESS & IT IS ALL ABOUT ROI.
