This is an amazing story and you won't read about it anywhere else. The Knock If Off came within $3 of tying the Big Bass Wheel for the #4 Overall ranking out of 82 games. I never expected this when the Alpha-Omega Team went to work on using actual ticket bundle formations rather than barcoded ticket vouchers in the round dishes that we had been using on our Knock It Off Rotaries for the past 10 years, that kept the KIO around a 30-40 ranking overall.
For the past several months our Ticket Candy Crane held the No. 1 ranking and got as high as No. 6 overall with earnings in excess of $3,200/week. It is only recently that the Knock It Off has surpassed the Ticket Candy Crane in rank, primarily because it is a 4-player game. The Ticket Candy Crane is set at $1/play and the Knock It Off is set at 50¢/play. The good news is that there is interest among a few game manufacturers to make new rotary games! TRR will keep you informed.
Our staff is having fun coming up with new and attractive ticket bundle formations to show the customers something new each month. Check out the Test Games Spreadsheet and Top 60 Redemption and Merchandise Games Combined Sections for more details. These two ticket games show how important hit frequency and ticket putout % is and why simplicity is a major factor in creating a top redemption or merchandiser game. It also dramatically demonstrates that going completely 'ticketless' is not all it is cracked up to be. Even in a ticketless redemption operation, tickets can still be used in merchandisers.
