Ever wanted to know why operators choose to use quarters vs tokens? Or why so many large arcades have ditched coins altogether and installed card readers on their games?  Or why Wedgehead moved over to a freeplay model?

Then this episode is for you.  Alan and Alex discuss each payment system in depth and outline the pros and cons of each from both the operator and consumer's point of views.  There's a reason for every decision, and it's usually not because your local operator is a crook.

Our hope after listening to this episode, you will leave with a greater understanding of why your local spot chose the payment system best suited for them, and why no matter the system, you should support them.

...but we do swear sometimes throughout the episode.
