Introduction to ‘Frank’s Ranks’ – the Trifecta of Spreadsheets
Here’s the Ticket!
The Top 75 Redemption, Merchandiser, Video, & Novelty Test Games Spreadsheet and Combined List (that is how many games were in Test Location #1 in February) 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 so they ratio to your game revenues, and 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 New Test Games were set up at Test Location #1 just after we closed the WE 2-17-17 Reports and here are their 1st week’s revenues (WE 3-1-17 was a very strong week):
- Jersey Wheels (Jennison/BSR) – $1,308 @ 26% Ticket Payout
- Let’s Bounce (LAI) – $1,842 @ 20%
Comparisons for same week of Top 5:
- DC Super Heroes 4 Pl – $7,348 @ 29% was #1
- Wizard of Oz 6 Pl – $6,010 @ 25% was #2
- Monster Drop Extreme – $5,256 @ 33% was #3
- Ticket Time Crane – $5,215 @ 32% was #4
- Space Invader Frenzy – $3,532 @ 32% was #5
Top 75 Ranked Revenue Generating Games Combined List February 2017
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 months of January/February 2017- It is pretty difficult for a new game to break into the Top 10 as this ‘elite’ group has remained pretty much the same over the past 2 years, but 2017 has shown two major exceptions:
- DC Super Heroes has taken over the #1 Ranking for the past 2 months and looks to be the leading contender for ‘Game of the Year’.
- Space Invader Frenzy Ranked #8 for February and you can see moved up to Rank #5 for WE 3-1-17. It just keeps getting better and better.
- Ticket Time Crane and Knock It Off Rotary continue to stay in the Top 5 and that is due to a thorough knowledge of how to combine hit frequency and ticket payout %.
- Crazy Claw Jr. has a new look and is now being programmed to have the same hit frequency as the original Ticket Crane that Frank ‘the Crank’ and Alpha staff invented several years ago plus a 2nd level bonus feature. Crazy Claw Jr. will be shown at Amusement Expo with an entirely new look.
