say 5000 machines selling at wholesale averaging out at $5000 us each machine, thats only $2.5million us in turnover before tax and costs, how many employees does he have? there is no way the man makes a cent profit on that operation. yes stern needs to pick up their game not to compete with JJP but to keep surviving, on the numbers Gary has quoted him self. there are massive overheads industry,  i cant even see how he pays him self.

Good point.
I wonder how the 5000 machines is spread across the various titles? The only set numbers to accurately go off is the LE's.
