But they dont get wiped.. a new swipe adds to the credits, and while you play the game, the credits keep coming.
I had a friend go check out the arcade.. game next to him had 3 credits on it.. guy came up and with ONE swipe there were 8 credits.. so either one swipe is worth 8 credits or it added 5.. either way it does not add up to the arcade making a fortune.. it adds up to them losing a fortune as you can play for free almost. While game was playing, it kept giving more credits.. none of which came off the card.
None.. absolutely none of this equates to games played... it MAY have said SWIPES or CREDITS when you saw 1200 Brett... but in no way was it games.. and in no way can you summise flippers being strong after an approx 70,000 games as you have absolutely no way of determining how many games aproximate or not have been played... you can only summise that the whole swipe system here is buggered.
Also.. NONE of this has been about Stern bagging.. its been about displaying the impossibilities of a grand statement... a statement i believe that was made more from enthusiasm than fact.
So we have a faulty swipe system causing an arcade to LOSE money rather than make it... free games being triggered during play and an attendant that knows about this which why the machines are turned off and on again to wipe the remaining credits. All is not good at Surfers then...
