By use case

Where this machine earns

Second-sales

High margin (>65%), doesn’t compete with game spend — place on the service-desk exit line.

Point kiosk

2.5–3㎡ footprint, restock-and-earn — fits restaurants, bars, entrances and mall corners. Core of the $3,000 / $5,000 kiosk packages.

By audience

Who it draws

Kids Secondary
Teens Secondary
Couples Secondary
Family Secondary
Social Secondary

Audience fit follows the wiki selection logic: kids look for prizes; teens for motion/simulators; couples for photo/social machines; families for high-replay sports.

Model assumptions

30 operating days/month. Landed = EXW × 1.35. Monthly gross = play price × daily plays × 30. Monthly net = gross × net margin (claw 50% / gift-ticket 55% / sports-shooting-racing 65% / VR 55% / big sports 60% / food 65%). Payback = landed ÷ monthly net — equipment only, excluding rent, staff and fit-out. Figures are mid-scenario estimates, finalized against the factory’s case data.
