pinball stats

[Deleted member 2463]

With building the new pinball room I've been looking at various stats on my own machines:

So far my
Walking dead Premium has cost me £10.31 per play.
Monster Bash £15.21
ToM £8.30

One other thing, I have power monitors on all my machines:

Ghostbusters is the most power efficient machine I have with B66 a close second.

Bride of Pinbot uses 2.9x as much power as Ghostbusters
Monster Bash uses 2.1x as much power as Ghostbusters.
TWD uses 1.3x as much power as Ghostbusters.

Cheers,
Neil.

You need to get a life Neil,
Just play them and enjoy playing them, and drink beer while playing them, job done.

LOL yeah sorry just working on the power utilisation and was surprised about MB - so wanted to see how many games I'd played since getting it

Must be the efficiency of the new boards on GB. That pin is brightest/loudest pin I own not forgetting all those flashers. Maybe your not getting multiball enough ;-)

I only read your first post....I feared for my life with my brain giving up the will to live! Now you've trapped me in a paradox by having to reply to your reply!

First time I've seen GB used as a baseline!

It's like the banana being used as a unit of radiation..

You need to factor Pinflation into the equation. My pinball machines cost me around minus £2 per game at a guess.

Has your cost per play calculation taken in to account each machine's electricity use? Sounds as if that is a relevant variable. You have the data...

not really, I can do that as you dispose of the asset I've done the same on a few car sales I made in the past.

Yes indeed. Although not the space cost which will push the number up significantly.

Funny thread. Neil - How about a chart showing Purchase price vs current value and overlay relative cost per game (number of plays vs purchase price) relative to running costs?

we'd all love that one......

Or you could just enjoy them without putting a price on everything

well thats easy if someone gives me the data on how many plays over the time period but it would be linear...

On what I've been offered for my Monster Bash versus what I paid for it- it would knock £5.90ish of the per play price...

I think its helpful for people to know the running costs Sarge. but yes playing them more gets the cost per game down Off to play TWD!

Kept my first pin on £1 a play. Had to pop a coin in it to have a game (OK I didn't know how to set it to freeplay at the time).

Acted as a really good visual way that I could judge that I had made the right decision to buy a game (At the time I assumed I'd sell it for a huge loss). Worked well until it got up to about £200 and I spent all the cash on another game.
