Now, that is an investment. Could recall 5 years ago hanging out at a pub that had a "new" pinball machine. Spent 50 bucks on it that month or something to relive my collegiate arcade championship days.
It could be annoying to some patrons but during that summer, that one machine alone easily swallowed 25 bucks per day. I asked the owner how much it cost him to buy. He said 20k. Today, probably double that now.
