Well, I don't know about "100%", but meters that at least make you "sit up and take notice at first glance" would have been a good start.
But, any such seed money would be money down the tubes wasted on the first to hit and not a good indicator of the longer-term viability of the bank (which is what I'd be most interested in, were I the casino).
Truth is, I imagine it should only take a couple of active casino weekends for ploppy play to move the quarter meters to $1500+. The meters are likely to take off from there at that point, despite the underlying paytables. Some good signage will help.
