EQUIPMENT POLL
Buying the right game is a "make-or-break" proposition for the operator, who must have both monthly
and ongoing analyses of game performance. This chart is designed to give the operator information
he needs to guide his purchases. The "longevity indicator" will tell him how long the game has remained
high on the chart. The number of weeks on the Top 10 is important, as is the total number of weeks
on the chart. Future months will include how long the game was in coin-op before being released
for the home market. Look to the chart each month for addition al polling information.
