FEEDBACK on faults the Avengers Pro at Timezone has developed after massive amounts of games, being 800 to 1200 games a day for about 6 or 8 weeks during school holidays....
Who tells you this info, Brett ?
If a game takes 5 minutes to complete X 1200 games per day that's 6000 minutes.. That's 100 hours worth of play in 24 hours (continuous) ?
Maybe 1200 plays over a month.. but 1200 a day is in fact - impossible.
I went into the machines diagnostics with the onsite technician....also reread the post above, which I have reprinted again.
Either the diagnostics were misread or they are faulty... it is impossible to have that many plays on a game in one day... basic maths rules this out
Basic maths answer this question. Nothing can change that.
1200 Games in 15 hours = 80 games per hour which is one full three ball game every 45 seconds
800 Games in 15 hours = 53 games per hour which is one full three ball game every 1.125 minutes
I've never played this game, but I just watched a youtube video ;
It took 11 seconds from the launch of the ball to the flipper on the first ball and 14 seconds on the second. I didn't watch the third ball, so I'll average that out to 12 seconds. So there's 37 seconds of inactivity per game.
If the operator is fair an honest, he would have "ball save" switched on for novice players. Even if he didn't, and using the video of the game as a guide, if there was 1200 games a day, then the time for each game is 45-37 seconds = 8 seconds per game. That is impossible. If there was 800 games a day, then the time for each game is 67-37 seconds = 30 seconds per game. That is impossible.
Just the simple fact of the animations between balls, the reset time and the match animation rule out any possibility of 800-1200 games per day. Gavin is right, the game either has a major problem, or the diagnostics was read incorrectly. Common sense prevails.
I wonder how Stern would feel knowing they have a sited game that has an average game time of between 8 - 30 seconds
That's a major indictment.
