Introduction to ‘Frank’s Ranks’-the Trifecta of Spreadsheets
Here’s the Ticket!
The Top 77 Redemption, Merchandiser, Video, & Novelty Test Games Spreadsheet and Combined List (that is how many games were in Test Location #1 in December) is put together from actual collections from games owned and operated by Alpha-Omega Amusements at FOUR of our contracted revenue-share centers in different areas of the U.S. The data is exactly as it is recorded by our staff and the FEC’s, so I know that the data is correct and is not changed in any way.
The purpose of the Lists is for you to see where your current games place or rank. Divide the game revenues by your game revenues, to determine your specific ratio. Check out where other games that you do not have might rank in your facility. It is also easy to pick out trends and stay on top of your ‘game’.
Update: Two Cruis’n Blast’s were set up at $1/play at Test Location #1 on 12-14-16 and their first full week of revenues just came in:
- Cruis’n Blast A – $213
- Cruis’n Blast B – $210
Update: Revenues for latest WE 12-23-16 just came in ‘raw’:
- Ticket Time Crane – $1,561 – Rank #4
- SpongeBob Pineapple Arcade – $742 – Rank #8
- Ghostbusters $534 – Rank #14
- Crazy Tower (Adrenaline) – $484 – Rank #18
- Pop the Lock – $372 – Rank #31

Hottest Games. The AEM/Alpha Team Gives a Thumbs Up to the following New Test Games and Old Work Horses (Must Have’s) based on their revenues during the month of December 2016: [Note how difficult it is for a new game to consistently stay in the Top 10 as this ‘elite’ group has remained pretty much the same over the past 2 years, with most top locations having 2 Big Bass Wheels and a Ticket Monster also.]
- Wizard of Oz 6 Pl Pusher (Elaut) Ranking #1 Combined-In a class by itself.
- Monster Drop Extreme (Benchmark) Ranking #3 Combined (Ranked #2 for last 2 years and I predict will soon go back to #2).
- Ticket Time Crane Ranked #2 and beat out Monster Drop Extreme by $10.
- Knock It Off Rotary 4 Pl Ranking #4 Combined had been #3 for past 2 years and I predict will soon go back to #3). Was Prototype of Tower of Tickets (Elaut/Bay-Tek).
- Ghostbusters Ranking #8 Combined has held up very well over the past several months, and I predict it will drop out of the Top 10.
- SpongeBob – Although Ranked #27 for December, it has ranked much higher consistently for past several months and is certainly considered a Workhorse. Note that it moved up to Rank #8 for WE 12-23-16 so keep this in mind. Every FEC location with more than 15 redemption games should have a SpongeBob.
