I’m a college sophomore with some savings, and I’ve been contemplating an idea. My uncle owns a nightclub that sees an average of 100 customers on weekdays and 400-500 on weekends. I’m thinking about purchasing a Key Master arcade game and placing it there.

The plan is to attach placards with different bottles of liquor to the game, allowing customers to try their luck by entering an amount (haven’t decided yet, maybe $5-10) to win the placard. They can then take it to the bar to claim their bottle.

I’m curious to know your thoughts on whether this could be a profitable venture, especially considering potential losses. Has anyone tried something similar or seen it in action? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

    This is stupid enough that it might work.

    Don’t invest your life savings into this: use your learn a lesson and move on money.

    If it turns out the alcohol commission isn’t keen on giving people bottles. I’d look into a photobooth, I imagine that would be more profitable long term. No moving parts to service, no worry about legality, and there’s no “scam factor” to it. (A lot of people are convinced they are rigged regardless of if that’s actually true)
