However, some people are not aware that they can own a coin operated pool table regardless of where it will be placed. Though, most people that buy coin operated tables do have a business in which to place it.
With a high traffic location, they can make you a little money. Nearly all coin operated pool tables are owned by entertainment management companies that charge a fee of the money that it collects each and every month.
If you are not one that likes to have part of your profits given away each and every month then you could purchase your own table. Keep in mind though that you will need to cover repairs, upkeep, and the like.
The advantage of a commercial company that manages the pool table is that you never need to repair anything, or manage anything other than calling in for service repairs. There are two types of coin tables, manual or electronic.
Electric coin operated tables use electronics that collect money, display game information as well as having censoring info on the ball collection and retrieval. Overall the electrical variations will last longer, but the overall problem with them is that they are more difficult to work on.
Generally we recommend that owners that want a more streamlined income should purchase an older manual version. Generally manual tables use smaller cue balls to help pass and redirect them which is a simple solution and doesn't incur many problems.
If it is a white ball it knows to go through the deflecting device. The even older models that were originally created used a smaller ball to determine whether or not it should be locked up like the number balls or headed down the cue ball cute.
This small innovation allows you to have to deal less with the pool tables and focus on your business instead. Do keep in mind that the older tables are indeed a lot cheaper to purchase and maintain not requiring extensive knowledge about.
You can find a pool table in just about any style and look that you want. You can customize the cues, numbered balls, lighting, triangle, and even the windowed section of the pool table.
You will find pool tables come in three typical sizes, six seven and eight feet. It is suggested that you choose the eight foot pool table if you want to attract a true and fun game.
If your establishment is more focused on adults, then do not purchase a six foot table. Determine what type of crowd you are looking to attract; if you think they won't care about the pool you can select the older and easier to maintain variations.
Having a table at your business is a great way to keep the customers in your business spending money as well as a fantastic way to guarantee returning customers. People will stay and spend money more and more as a result of having a table in your business.
So if you are ready to purchase, the following tips will help you. Call a few distributors and inquire about prices. Each table will cost a couple thousand dollars but if you buy in bulk you may get a discount.
Also ask what accessories the tables come with; for each table, you'll need a full rack of balls, several cue sticks in different weights, a triangular rack, chalk, a brush for maintaining the felt and a wall rack for storing the cues. Decide on what options you'd like the table to include.
There are tables that only have a coin chute and there are some that have dollar bill acceptors. Consider the construction of the cabinets as they can be made of solid wood, plywood or plastic.
Lastly, consider the general appearance of the table and the image you want to promote. You can even choose felt colors if you so desire.
Choose a vendor and arrange for delivery. In most cases, they will be shipped via freight and this can add a significant cost to the total price so be sure to take this into consideration.
