Introduction to ‘Frank’s Ranks’ Spreadsheets
Here’s the Ticket!
The Top 74 Redemption, Merchandiser, Video, & Novelty Combined List and Test Games Spreadsheets are put together from actual collections from games owned and operated by Alpha-Omega Amusements. The data is exactly as it is recorded by our staff and the FEC’s together, so I know that the data is correct and is not changed in any way.
The purpose of the Lists and Spreadsheets is for you to see where your current games place or rank, divide the game revenues to those of your own games to determine the ratio to your game revenues and check out where other games that you do not have might rank in your facility. Sometimes the rankings show which games you should double up on. It is also easy to pick out trends and stay on top of your ‘game’.
October Observations:
- Ticket Ring Jumbo 45” Rank #1 is by far the Top-Earning Game
- Treasure Dome 4 Pl (UNIS) continues to be the biggest new surprise Ranking #2
- Power Roll is a great game and is showing consistent Top 10 Revenues
- Virtual Rabbids Ranked #4 overall and is the #1 video game still
- There are 2 Merchandisers in the Top 10 Overall – Ticket Ring Jumbo 45” – Big Choice Crane and 3 more that award cards, tokens, tickets, and/or prizes – Treasure Dome, DC Superheroes, Wizard of Oz. That is a total of 5 of the Top 10 Games. It shows that players want to win ‘more’ than just a single prize from a crane or points from a redemption game. COLLECTING IS NOW KING
Hottest New Games – Thumbs Up
The AEM/Alpha Teams 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 July/August 2019
- Ticket Ring Jumbo 45” at #1 and a cost of less than $5,000 is a ‘no brainer’.
- Connect4 Hoops stays in the Top 5 for 11 of the past 12 months. My take is that this game will be a Work Horse for years to come!!! Another ‘no-brainer’ if you have the ceiling height. The Mini model Ranks #3 Overall in another Test Location that has 50 games.
- Treasure Dome 4 Pl is a special game that all FEC’s should take note of.
- Virtual Rabbids 2 Pl remains at Rank #5. Virtual Rabbids is still by far the best video game on the Planet. (See YouTube Video featuring Malcolm Steinberg, Chairman LAI). Virtual Rabbids now has 3 new software games.
Advice: If you are considering buying a new game and you have waited 12 months to make a decision (and you do not have a lot of space) and you do not have a Ticket Ring Jumbo 45”, you should label yourself as a ‘Primo/Prima Procrastinator’. If you are waiting to get one at a low ‘used’ price, you may have to wait another 100 months as I do not see any sane person trading one in any time soon!!!
