>From talking to many ops in the Michigan and Ohio times look grim for
arcades. Namco is closing over 150 locations a year. I know of eight
non namco arcades in Michigan that will be closing in the next year or
so if things don't change. Insurance prices are on the way up and
ops cant afford to pay off the machines, 50/50 deals don't cut
expenses for most locations in high rent areas. Are we looking at
another market crash like 1983? I just wanted to see what every ones
opinion on this matter is.
