Here’s the Ticket!
The Top 60 Redemption & Merchandiser Games Combined List is put together from actual collections from games owned and operated by Alpha-Omega Amusements at two locations so I know that the data is correct and is not changed in any way. The purpose of the List is for you to see where your current games place or rank and see where other games that you do not have would rank in your facility. And also to pick out trends and stay on top of your game. Video games are not included but all of them would be at the bottom of the rankings with only Typhoon Lagoon ranking around the 25th position. A 3rd Test Location (seasonal that is just getting started in June) shows that Jurassic Park video is performing very well as is Yahtzee and Black Hole.
New Test Games Included in the rankings in order of earnings: Fishbowl Frenzy, Grand Piano Keys, Whack n Win, Ocean Pearl, Gold Fishing, Black Hole, Kung Fu Panda, Gear It Up, and Full Tilt. Shown in a 2nd and 3rd Test Location are Full Tilt, Black Hole, Fishbowl Frenzy, Three Stooges, and Yahtzee.
Trend Analysis of Top 60 Redemption & Merchandise Games Combined
The May-June 2015 the data shows Fishbowl Frenzy as the only new game ranking in the combined Top 10 (#10 overall, #6 in redemption). Grand Piano Keys just missed out by less than $15/week less than Fishbowl Frenzy. 
Grand Piano Keys 2 Pl (BayTek) was installed on 4-8-15 at $1/play. In its first seven days it grossed $1687 with a ticket payout of 26% and ranked #10 overall. For May-June it ranked #11 overall (#7 in Redemption), falling out of the Top 10 below Fishbowl Frenzy by only $91 over a 6 week span. Players are competing for high scores with spectators gathering watching the competition just like when Dance Dance Revolution was introduced years ago. Another comparison: It is like Guitar Hero except the players get tickets. We placed a Grand Piano Keys at another Alpha-Omega Amusements location and it ranked #3 out of 47 redemption games.
Grand Piano Keys is TRR’s #2 pick for The Top Games to have among all of the new games.
For long term success the AEM Team is recommending that Bay Teck remove the high score limit for any setting. Currently a talented player attains the high score and another player can only tie that score. The highest ticket payout win is currently less than 100 tickets. For a new game to initially rank #10 at our highly competitive test location is fantastic, especially at $1/play.
Knock It Off Rotary 4 Pl (Elaut) with ticket rolls as prizes and a Toto card priced at 50 cents/play once again ranks #3 overall and #1 merchandiser with an average 30% win %. For WE 5-22-15 KIO ranked #2 overall, beating out the Monster Drop Extreme.
Ticket Candy Crane with ticket bundles ranks #8 overall and the #4 merchandiser with an average 26% win %. The Ticket Candy Crane would rank higher but we have added ticket bundles along with hard goods to the Big Choice Double Crane (one bay) and Mega Triple Crane (one bay) to stimulate competition for the Ticket Candy Crane. Note that both the Mega Triple and Mega Double Cranes (rank #7 overall, #3 merchandiser) have moved up in the rankings and again indicates that the players like to win tickets and choose their own prizes.
AEM recently recommended a client install a Ticket Candy Crane into their game room that has 25 games currently grossing $2500/week. The first week the Ticket Candy Crane earned $286 and was the #1 ranked game, beating out the Big Bass Wheel.
Fishbowl Frenzy (Team Play) – Our company has placed Fishbowl Frenzy in several other locations and it ranks higher in the Top 10 because those locations do not have a Wizard of Oz 6 Pl, Monster Drop Extreme, Knock It Off Rotary, or a Ticket Monster.
Fishbowl Frenzy is TRR’s #1 pick for The Top Games to have among all of the new games.
