The following are rankings of the top videos and top pinballs making above average weekly gross collections
nationwide. The dollar amounts appearing are the average weekly grosses as reported to Play Meter magazine through its
regular national operator survey. Amounts are heavily weighted by averages reported/rom arcade locations; street locations
are generally lower. Games with less than adequate responses (less than fifty percent) but with above average collections are
so noted. Games not appearing on the poll either (1) did not generate over a ten percent response rate to provide an adequate
representative sampling or (2) did not register weekly gross collections above the national average.
TOP VIDEOS
Fourteen of 23 videos (61 %) with a response rate
over ten percent have above average earnings.
