$600 per machine per day.  That's pretty amazing.  When these started 
  popping up in in the Chicago burbs I was wondering how the numbers could 
  work.  Strictly from a business perspective.  For the bar owners it's a 
  no brainer.  You're already managing a going concern.  You pull the pool 
  table out of the back room and put in machines.  The bar owners' slice 
  of the take is all gravy.
  
  The strip mall outfits I couldn't quite wrap my head around. Could you 
  generate enough of a win from 5 machines to net a profit?   There is 
  absolutely no other reason to enter one and no other real revenue 
  stream...  and a fair amount of gambling competition in the area.  In 
  the couple I've seen it sure doesn't look like they generate anywhere 
  near $600 per machine.
  
  From a gamblers perspective, I can't figure out a way to make money.  
  There's no club allowed.  The only advantage play I see is free candy 
  for players.
