Breaking News — The 'Challenger Neon Air Hockey' — Barron Games International has an air hockey that is set up to award redemption tickets. Program options include awarding tickets to just the Winner, or more tickets to the Winner and fewer tickets to Loser. AEM is currently testing the Barron Games unit up against two Hot Flash II air hockey's. This site was chosen because AEM has the data on 3 Hot Flash air hockey's in this same location going back more than a year (one was removed for this test). AEM has reported that the Barron Games 'Challenger Neon Air Hockey' earned $513.25/week up against $252.00 and $264.25 for the Hot Flash II air hockey's. AEM is still working on making some modifications to get the ticket payout % to 20% and will have more data in next month's TRR. So far this test is very encouraging. Over a six week period (Nov/Dec) the 'Challenger Neon Air Hockey' has earned an average of 60% higher revenues than the average of the two (2) Hot Flash Air Hockey games.
