My mom bought a bar recently, and there is a Monopoly table currently.  She trusts my opinion of this stuff enough that I could convince her to put in a second and switch to any other table.  They're through an amusement company and not owned by the bar, so I'd likely be limited only by their inventory.  I'm not a big fan of Monopoly, so I'm curious what people think would be a draw in a bar that has free poker earlier in the day for the lunch crowd, and fills up with construction workers and bikers after the work day, and occasionally small music acts or karaoke on the weekends.  The regulars seeing my "wizard-like skills" will help, of course, but I have a full time job already. 

There is also a club downtown with 10+ tables where the owner hosts and participates in tournaments.  Would having one or both tables match what they're playing on draw customers that want practice for his tournaments?  Would it be better to simply get highly rated tables that no one else around is offering?  My first few choices, Dr. Who, Addams Family, or Star Trek TNG, would probably not do too well anymore, so I need everyone here to pick me something better than I will choose on my own...

Wizard of OZ if  you can get one

Simpsons is always good

any pin that has mucho sounds and lights

 heck even an older F-14 Tomcat may do well

since it has the top strobe lights on its cab

High Speed even though it too is an older pin

has good sounds in it and fast gameplay

any decent newer pin should do well in a bar setting though

 any unfortunately most vending companies will not let you choose

 but would put one of their own choices in

since they are probably more knowledgeable than you on what makes money and what doesn't

Uh...biker bar?  Hello?

It's fairly generous and easy to trigger multi-balls too.

Edit: Uh...woops, I though it said July 2014 on this thread.  My bad.  I guess this isn't a very frequented board.

lot of the amusement company with games on site don't take care of the games that well and broken down games do not do as well.

 

The best thing will be to have some one who will take care of the games to put some into that site. Maybe even run tournaments as well.
