Also see the "Equipment Poll" in
this issue. It has a new look and a
new name, "National Play Meter. "
Operators now give more specific
earning information. This helps
Play Meter to more accurately deter-
mine a game's rank.

Coin-op darts
Last month we noted the inclusion
for the first time of coin-operated
dart games in your "Equipment
Poll." We hear lots of things from
the field about how operators view
our dart games, but the vehicle of
the "Equipment Poll" would be very
helpful to us.
Could you please let me know the
steps that need to be taken for
having our games included in the
poll?

Editor's Note: Operators determine
which games are placed on the
"Equipment Poll." As soon as Play
Meter learns of a new piece of equip-
ment, it is added to a listing of all
recent equipment sent to operators.
The operators record how much
money each piece makes in their
locations. Play Meter receives and
tallies their results. The top games
are then placed on the "Equipment
Poll."
Coin-operated dart games have
been on the survey sent to operators
for quite some time. They are
appearing on recent "Equipment
Polls" because they have earned a
position. Operators indicate there
are more coin-op dart games, and
they are making more money.
