Atari PPD: How you can
play for higher stakes in both
ttStreet" and t1\rcade" locations.
• Planned Product Develop-
ment. How it works to return
more on your investment .
PPD is actually a planned-profit
plan . Your profit plan . It's our
nickname for a combined
marketing-engineering-
manufacturing approach that
insures that every game is
carefully and objectively plann-
ed to return the highest poten-
tial earnings possible.
Games aren't just for "street"
or just for "arcades" anymore.
The best product is product
product that can be rotated
more freely to give you more
chances to enhance your pro-
fitability .
Some examples:
Middle Earth ThI. Solid state

the bigger playfield doesn't
mean it's just an "arcade
piece", it means bigger profits
in any location!) Long term
collections are still higher than
any other pin games.
