Pull tab machines: a real win-win
24 March 2014
Does your venue have a pull tab lottery machine? If not, here’s a few thoughts on how installing one could be a real win-win for you and your customers.
Pull tab lottery machines are a great way of generating cash for your venue – and offer a great experience for your customers, who could win up to £100 for a 25p ticket, £200 for a 50p ticket or £500 for a £1 ticket.
You don’t need a licence to house a machine – and if you get your machine from Dransfields, we don’t even charge you for it. We simply supply the machines on free loan, and service and repairs are free of charge as well.
It’s a simple system: you load the machine with tickets, collect the cash from the machine and pay out the prize money. The venue’s profit is the difference between the cash collected and the prizes paid out, less the cost of the tickets. Furthermore, pull tab machines are exempt from all taxes including Machine Games Duty, so there’s not even any tax or VAT to worry about!
If you’re concerned that installing a pull tab lottery machine might eat into funds raised on your other gaming machines on-site, it’s worth remembering that lottery ticket players generally do not play gaming machines so your existing takings are unlikely to be affected. In fact, it’s more likely that you’ll attract a different set of players and increase revenue.
Increasing player appeal
If you want to get the most out of your pull tab lottery machine:
Make sure you have a good selection of popular tickets
Make sure your supplier provides speedy onsite service, free overprinting of tickets to comply with legislation and free postage of the boxes of tickets to you – you don’t want an empty machine on that crucial Saturday night!
Make sure your machine is clean, well maintained, and always in full working order.
It might be worth having an additional machine in a lesser-used room (e.g. a concert room), to generate extra funds on busy nights.
Interested? Look no further! Dransfields has great range of machines and tickets, backed with a superb installation and support service. You will also earn Drancash points with every box of tickets purchased from us; these can then be redeemed against a great range of gifts.
With new revenue being generated for you and attractive prizes for your customers, it’s the very definition of a win-win.
