@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket If a petty coin machine creates dopamine spikes in people, I feel sorry for them. Imagine getting “high” from silly games….psshh. Talk about having impulsiveness and easily manipulated!
I'm an arcade operator and I've had my competition call me in due to my claw machines not begin properly "setup". I also have the gambling license you gotta pay $500 a year and sucks you gotta do taxes every quarter and machines have to meet certain requirements like they can't have a payout percentage and have to be either skilled or strength setting. A lot of hassle but well worth it once setup.
There are 2 types of license I’ve found . 250 bucks for class b which allows you to run redemption like claw machines . And class c which allows you to run a location that can issue as you said tokens or tickets which act like points which can be redeemed for those expensive prize counter prizes like your Xboxes etc. keep in mind if you do a ticket location vs just claw type machines then you have to register with the state and whatever compliance crap they are doing now . I only know these things because I’m building games up to get my license so I can run routes like vending locations. But again routing games is easier but to give tickets you need a registered location . I’m sure your laundry mat would more than work as it’s a location you own .
Lastly the casino control commission website has all the information on the laws and license /costs . 10 dollar wholesale your cost on prizes you give out so. Claw prizes can be worth more than 10 as long as your wholesale cost of the prize was within 10 bucks. We can also give out 10 dollar gas gift cards but no other gift cards or cash or legal tender of any kind. Hope this helps some on your journey for answers .
@@andysodyssey8174Just imagine the type of money you could/would be making if you had Bitcoin/Crypto ATMS on your route!!!

Problem is that your winning the prize with cash, the loop hole most likely is that you use the cash get tokens then redeem those for points which you can convert into a prize which is actually free because your using redeeming points.
The Government is what makes America, America 🤣🤣 You people are so stupid and just follow what your fellow TH-camr says 😆😆😆😆 No taxes America wouldn't be where it is now
Ohio is always trying to grab as much $$$ as they can. As an Ohioan as well I’ve seen the local Mexican restaurants having to post permits for coin machines up on the walls and it’s literally just kids games. Silly
lmfao bro no, if anything these are money laundering businesses. You don't inherent generational wealth off a laundry mat. You can definitely have a profitable business in one of these, but they're not going to generate generational income. You're buying one of these is because they're not labor intensive and have good ROI and that they're decently recession proof so you will consistently have a steady cashflow, did you not listen to the 2008 tanning speech? They increased the labor requirement and some people closed down just because of the higher labor requirement, not because of the recession. Pretty much the only risk to these businesses is 1, putting them in the wrong location, and 2 government intervention raising requirements, and 3 not paying attention. (glossed over the standard ones but these 3 will make or break one of those businesses). Hence why there was coverage on the 1 machine per 1k sq feet. None of these businesses have a high consistent cost, none of these businesses will ever have a high generation of money, but what they do have is consistency, that's why government intervention such as ohio getting pissy over a +$10 prize is a significant portion of this business, that is a significant chunk of the money these places make, just 1 well placed claw machine can cover most of the overhead. And if a claw machine determines how your rent gets paid, you're not going to be making generational income.
@@InvestmentJoyWhat if you just converted the machines to take Bitcoin/Crypto ONLY?? & Then put a Bitcoin/Crypto ATM in the store as well!! Not only would you be making money from the game machines, but you could also put a fee on the ATM to purchase the Bitcoin/Crypto & Then you would be making even more money from both the games & the ATM!! Not to mention you would Also be making money from the people who would potentially come thru that needed to use the ATM to purchase Bitcoin/Crypto for personal use Only & then ones who buy it for the games as well!! You could/would potentially be making double/triple profit or more!!
@InvestmentJoy Do you use a broker to find these small businesses or if you hunt them down yourself, how do you do so? I imagine cold calling/knocking might work for some but it’s probably rare.
Heaven forbid little Timmy asking his mom for a couple dollars while she’s doing laundry to go over and play a game, and possibly win something to make the trip to the laundromat worthwhile 😂😂😂
This is my first time on your page. At first I thought you were taking Romans ideas with the laundromat and games, but them I watched and found out it's a little different then I thought. I've left multiple comments on a few of Romans videos, but I never heard back from him, or seen any progress on any of the ideas I gave him. I told him about the coin pushers, and said that he could just fill it with coins to be traded in somehow. I also said something about tickets, and putting merch in the claw machine. The merch sells for over $10, but he didn't pay that much for them. It just states that you can't give out cash prizes, gift cards, and anything over $10, but what about things that were previously owned by them. There were a ton of other ideas I gave him, I just hope for his sake, that he changes it up sometime soon. There's always a backdoor to get around obstacles like that. One thing no ones done yet, which really surprises me, is the fact that no ones tried contacting the county clerks office, and asked what to do in order to win those big prizes, or give cash out in the coin pusher.
I used to work for a company that did linen, uniform and matt rentals. One time I was at a garage in the ghetto delivering uniforms for the mechanics. I had to use the bathroom so I asked the guy he said first door at the end of the ramp and I opened the door thinking it was a bathroom but it was a slot parlor with five African American gentlemen playing they started to curse me out. I cursed back then the guy ran up and said wrong door! The other one! LOL
Shoe stores have machines you can win shoes. The cost is $1, $5, $10 per try depending where you go and the shoes can be anywhere from $150-600+ that you can win. Usually the key lock game where you have to make the key go through the hole and it pulls the price out which drops to the slot where you collect the single shoe and the store gives you the 2nd shoe plus the box
When I was in Japan they had these see threw locking display cabinets for prizes at arcades, Maybe you could have keys for the cabinet in your machine, Or add tokens in and have a gumball machine that takes tokens and one in X spits out the keys for the cabinet, The cabinets look like there $400-500 online.
@InvestmentJoy it's ashamed a good man can't just make his money and not have to worry about regulation from the government the government needs us not the other way around
“One of you” the way he talks to that guy who obviously actually runs that laundromat, yikes. Way to treat people like they’re human. This is the problem with people who just have $ to throw around, they think it makes themselves high and mighty above other people. What an absolutely insensitive and condescending thing to say.
Yeah we saw that when we did the interview with him which wasn't really featured in the video a ton, but also on the flip side the amount of money he made it drop severely.
They changed the law to $10 payouts when those " internet sweepstakes cafes" came about around 10 years ago and that's how they were able to shut all those down. Which is BS sure but that's how they did it
MAAAANNNN those "Internet Cafes" USE TO BE THE MF BOMB!!! I FREAKIN LOOOOVVVVEEEDDD those places!!! You could win SOOOOOOO MUCH $$$$ there not to mention all the Promotional Shenanigans they always had going on too!!! & They ALWAYS had FREE FOOD & DRINKS!!! THOSE WERE THE MF'N GOOD OLE DAYS!!!
Hey I mean… if you change out the coin games for tokens, then maybe you can do the same for the laundromat coin acceptors? Not completely rid the quarter thing, but make it so they can insert those play coins in the washing machine too.
24/7 Laundromat on Preston Highway in Louisville Kentucky has maybe 20 washing machines, and 60 plus "skill game" slot machines that are licensed through SHIRLEY'S WAY CHARITY GAMING. It's the smoothest way to give the gaming commission the finger. Charitable Gaming
Coin pushers are not legal in Las Vegas in laundromats. We had one several years ago. You need a gambling license. Also slot machines are not legally permitted in laundromat because of all the kids in them.
I'm not going to accuse you of any wrong doing so please don't take this that way. I hate those kinds of machines, not always but usually they're configured to lose just like casino's, just like carnival games. Doesn't matter how much skill you have when it has a loose grip, a "signaling defect" or some other means of cheating against fair play. I also just prefer real arcade games. I don't need no prize, you keep those games a quarter to play maybe even fifty cents and I'll play them period. I don't care of it's pacman, galaga, street fighter, or Swordquest.
So ridiculous, I say the $500 license should have a cap at ~1k... $10 is ridiculous. They can target the high dollar casinos for uncle Sam's money. It sounds as ridiculous as my city in NE Indiana not allowing casinos, but one is being planned for a nearby city in the same county (near OH). All kinds of rules and laws, gotta love them!
What's interesting to me is I have friends in Nevada, and the deal is there they just have to be able to get into your machine and see how much money you brought in so they get their 10% tax on it
@@InvestmentJoyTHAT IS ABSOLUTELY MF'N INSSAAANNEE!!! & just shows how INCREDIBLY INSULTINGLY GREEDY those organizations are & how BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that it's only about that ONE THING, them getting their $$$! TAXATION SHOULD BE A FEDERAL FELONY PUNISHABLE BY MANDATORY PRISON TIME!!!
It’s not just a commission, it’s people making these decisions. I’d find out who those people are and ask them on camera how they came to this conclusion.
All this effort seems like a waste... Why not just open an arcade full of skill to win machines like this with a gaming licence? Throw some laundry machines in for good measure.
That's probably what I'm going to have to do the problems going to be to do it with retail machines its hundreds of thousands of dollars versus the $1,500 machines I had in my location
my brother went into a degenerate downward spiral that ruined his life after playing his first claw machine. the claw machine epidemic is destroying our nation. if only the government has stepped in and stopped the evil laundromats sooner he'd still be with us today.
6:18 I used to manage a gym in central ohio (both pre & post c0viD) and let me tell you that tanning "certificate" is a complete joke. The cert test literally took me 10 minuets to complete and my owner texted me all the answers. edit: location
I can see it both ways! I do agree the state needs to crack down on prize machines! many are just scams like in Walmart that caps that daily winning automatically and some game companies that set prizes like a x box, at 1 million tickets and it is cheaper to buy a new one than win it! like he said he makes enough money to cover the cost of his parking lot! so I do agree a permit is need but not some crazy amount like 100 per year! and the once or twice a year inspection to make sure they are winable
casino? in that case, every single place that has claw machines and other arcade games, even arcades themselves, would get tagged. I say ignore it and continue on as normal, they can't and won't give proper reasoning to their claims, it seems like an empty threat like how HOAs operate.
I think the Ohio government should worry about the drug and homeless problem. Over paid gaming people worried about a machine in a Laundromat where the money is donated. What's the gaming board donating? 👎
Wtf is wrong with Ohio? More of a reason to never go to Ohio. That is the dumbest thing ever. Arcades and malls have skill machines that give consoles. They are picking on the little man.
That's what Roman was making on his I think the best that I could ever do would be 50 bucks a day. I really don't mind the fee as much as I do the compliance on bookkeeping aspect, they start to require you record every prize that went out of the machine
This doesn't make logic. "Skill" is manual effort, achieving a predictable or foreseeable result. Anything requiring a skill-testing question is a demonstration of this, as there is a non-chance procedure to achieving a desired result. Hence, it is not pure or entirely gambling. "Gambling" is automatic non-effort, incapable of achieving a predictable or foreseeable result. Conventional gambles fall into two varieties, the first being "knowledgeable odds" like card games and horse racing, the second being "mathematical odds" like ball machines and slot machines. The entire argument for an arcade being a casino is always false, not only because there are no laws prohibiting the winner of a material item giveaway from selling there prize privately hence there is no determined monetary value on a material prize, but that the prize itself is not any form of currency, points, chips, tokens, tickets, gift cards, or any medium of exchange capable of directly inducing a cash prize value, hence an arcade can operate so long as the final prize outcome of the establishment is a material prize, like a toy or food item. Laws aim at casino money, arcades don't pay out in money. What the hell is Ohio smoking?
30 x 52 = 1560, so the $500 every 3 years is about 1/9th of your earnings which is on top of the taxes you pay. I feel that's super scummy, maybe it's inconsequential for actual casinos, but it makes it cuts lots of profit away from smaller operations like what you have. This reminds me of the machines you find in gas stations and small corner stores.
Maybe the gaming commison can come to NYC to clean up the subways as I'm afraid for me life everytime I ride one. And you aren't allowed to defend yourself. There is a marine being prosecuted right now cause the criminal dropped dead when the marine defended himself.
If you wanted to gove cash prises away couldn't you do a thing where you trade tokens for say a toy car that's 10$ then give them a receipt and have cash refunds if you aren't happy with the toy?
Are we in Better Call Saul. Did we just witness a laundry/tanning spot… this is so cool.
Those places are real? 😮

The Gaming Commission: Because thieves don't like competition
It's so odd - For YEARS the law was "Go get the permit" , but they didn't sell a permit.
Now they do, and it's quite complicated.
Get rid of all commissions they're ruining America.
they are just upset that they are not getting paid their protection money.........i mean their license fee.........
This takes money away from people who could be using it on fentynal. People shouldn't be gambling.

I love coin pushers. When I was a kid, I saw them at a fair and tried to make one out of a cardboard box.

More recently, a laundromat near me has two, but they are janky af. Coins get stuck in the shute and worse, they drilled out large sloppy openings on either side of the prize basin, so your winnings can fall out.
The fact that they did that alone makes me want to report them, but another part says that I should just shove some cardboard on the openings and play on.
Thank goodness the state of Ohio was there to protect your customers from winning bigger prizes...

So ridiculous, I say the $500 license should have a cap at ~1k... $10 is ridiculous. They can target the high dollar casinos for uncle Sam's money. It sounds as ridiculous as my city in NE Indiana not allowing casinos, but one is being planned for a nearby city in the same county (near OH). All kinds of rules and laws, gotta love them!
What's interesting to me is I have friends in Nevada, and the deal is there they just have to be able to get into your machine and see how much money you brought in so they get their 10% tax on it
@@InvestmentJoyTHAT IS ABSOLUTELY MF'N INSSAAANNEE!!! & just shows how INCREDIBLY INSULTINGLY GREEDY those organizations are & how BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that it's only about that ONE THING, them getting their $$$! TAXATION SHOULD BE A FEDERAL FELONY PUNISHABLE BY MANDATORY PRISON TIME!!!
It’s not just a commission, it’s people making these decisions. I’d find out who those people are and ask them on camera how they came to this conclusion.
never even realized you were the 1 who gave ro ro the machine
So wait Laundromats cant have claw machines or arcade machines but store or malls can don't make any sense
Why were you typing in DrDonut's Chat lol
My son gets on my profile and chats
@@InvestmentJoy ah ok
Speaking of Romans claw machine its also down right now.
It’s been down 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@@HughMadBro actually it was not down 3 weeks ago he changed the claw but now it wont work.
Yeah , i've been calling my guys for him seeing if they'd fix it, and no one will work on that type of pinnacle
All this effort seems like a waste... Why not just open an arcade full of skill to win machines like this with a gaming licence? Throw some laundry machines in for good measure.
That's probably what I'm going to have to do the problems going to be to do it with retail machines its hundreds of thousands of dollars versus the $1,500 machines I had in my location
Getting a gaming license isnt easy nor cheap.
Oh gee they stepped in to stop the peddling of an addicting and destructive activity . Now to end the lottery .
my brother went into a degenerate downward spiral that ruined his life after playing his first claw machine. the claw machine epidemic is destroying our nation. if only the government has stepped in and stopped the evil laundromats sooner he'd still be with us today.
@@iswmSorry for your loss.
It's Linda
Casinos don't want you giving out prizes and making them look bad
Pretty much this
6:18 I used to manage a gym in central ohio (both pre & post c0viD) and let me tell you that tanning "certificate" is a complete joke. The cert test literally took me 10 minuets to complete and my owner texted me all the answers. edit: location
It's a joke because you cheated?
@ buddy did you read the comment? Everyone from ownership to management to the state board is in on the scheme. Weird response 🤔
@@jeffreygordon7194 And look at his profile pic, I wonder why he likes him lol both are cheats and frauds
🚨 Just get a token machine and basically turn it into an arcade
Gov always finds a way to make some for themselves
I can see it both ways! I do agree the state needs to crack down on prize machines! many are just scams like in Walmart that caps that daily winning automatically and some game companies that set prizes like a x box, at 1 million tickets and it is cheaper to buy a new one than win it! like he said he makes enough money to cover the cost of his parking lot! so I do agree a permit is need but not some crazy amount like 100 per year! and the once or twice a year
inspection to make sure they are winable
I would take the Halloween animatronic that is free because that is from party city and they are closing
What's the guy need the extra $35 a week for making his stomach get bigger 😂
How can Walmart get away with the claw machines there? That takes cash or card.
I've been curious too
Prizes are under $10?
either they watch, or a troll sent an email to them to F with you. Which is more likely?
casino? in that case, every single place that has claw machines and other arcade games, even arcades themselves, would get tagged. I say ignore it and continue on as normal, they can't and won't give proper reasoning to their claims, it seems like an empty threat like how HOAs operate.
Hows the Kenetik drink?
I really liked it
I think the Ohio government should worry about the drug and homeless problem. Over paid gaming people worried about a machine in a Laundromat where the money is donated. What's the gaming board donating? 👎
Wtf is wrong with Ohio? More of a reason to never go to Ohio. That is the dumbest thing ever. Arcades and malls have skill machines that give consoles. They are picking on the little man.
$300/day is extremely optimistic. Most cranes might do that monthly.
I didn’t know people go tanning in a laundromat
why does it seem like he's just downtalking eddie lol
Yet online gambling is a legal (in most places) and thriving business .
Roman Atwood owns a laundry mat 🤣🤣
Yes & he’s daily vlogging again.
You should ask movie theater
Could just watch his video and he explained all this
$500 for 3 years doesnt really sound to bad and you plan on making $300 a day off them
That's what Roman was making on his I think the best that I could ever do would be 50 bucks a day. I really don't mind the fee as much as I do the compliance on bookkeeping aspect, they start to require you record every prize that went out of the machine
This doesn't make logic.
"Skill" is manual effort, achieving a predictable or foreseeable result. Anything requiring a skill-testing question is a demonstration of this, as there is a non-chance procedure to achieving a desired result. Hence, it is not pure or entirely gambling.
"Gambling" is automatic non-effort, incapable of achieving a predictable or foreseeable result. Conventional gambles fall into two varieties, the first being "knowledgeable odds" like card games and horse racing, the second being "mathematical odds" like ball machines and slot machines.
The entire argument for an arcade being a casino is always false, not only because there are no laws prohibiting the winner of a material item giveaway from selling there prize privately hence there is no determined monetary value on a material prize, but that the prize itself is not any form of currency, points, chips, tokens, tickets, gift cards, or any medium of exchange capable of directly inducing a cash prize value, hence an arcade can operate so long as the final prize outcome of the establishment is a material prize, like a toy or food item.
Laws aim at casino money, arcades don't pay out in money. What the hell is Ohio smoking?
no way you just ran $30 through a money counter lmao. cmon bro.
Love the pachinko since I was a jid
Can you write off 1/3 of the cost of that license every year? It is once every three years according to the end of the video.
background people haha
Just sell snack!!! A Gatorade worth 1.50 or something sell it for 3$ or more
30 x 52 = 1560, so the $500 every 3 years is about 1/9th of your earnings which is on top of the taxes you pay. I feel that's super scummy, maybe it's inconsequential for actual casinos, but it makes it cuts lots of profit away from smaller operations like what you have. This reminds me of the machines you find in gas stations and small corner stores.
Government is always Number 1 when it comes to organized crime.
They're called pokeballs
NOT pokemon balls
America... tucked.
Im sure there a lawyer that can walk you through the process @ $10000 retainer
I'm sure
Maybe the gaming commison can come to NYC to clean up the subways as I'm afraid for me life everytime I ride one. And you aren't allowed to defend yourself. There is a marine being prosecuted right now cause the criminal dropped dead when the marine defended himself.
The government is like a small child! Never happy with amount of their allowance.
You must understand the difference between a game of “chance “ and a game of “skill “ .
You are operating games of “chance “.
If you wanted to gove cash prises away couldn't you do a thing where you trade tokens for say a toy car that's 10$ then give them a receipt and have cash refunds if you aren't happy with the toy?
"i have one of you for my other..." disgusting language, and degrading .. Why is it every entrepreneur has to be a D-Bag.
The captions are pretty distracting. I can hear your voice just fine. Do you do it for the hearing impaired?
