3 Great Reasons to Add Coin-Operated Pool Tables to Your Establishment
BFC Enterprises • April 16, 2024

Ideal for bars, pubs, game rooms, hotels, college campuses and community centers, pool tables are a great way to expand your customer base and generate more income. Coming in a variety of sizes to suit business needs and space requirements, billiards can be placed in a variety of locations and have been a staple in American culture for decades.


Here are three great reasons to consider adding a coin-operated pool table to your establishment.

Generate Additional Revenue: Coin operated pool tables generate income on their own. However, the biggest benefit is that billiards keep customers in your establishment longer; increasing revenue per customer. The longer a customer remains in your establishment, the more likely they are to continue purchasing food, drinks and other services. It also keeps them coming back to your establishment.

Increase Customer Loyalty: For locations that do not offer food or drinks, such as a laundromat or movie theater, pool tables give customers something to do while they wait, increasing customer loyalty and generating additional revenue.

Expand Customer Base: Having pool tables in your establishment and hosting pool tournaments are a fantastic way to increase your customer base. Any scheduled gathering is likely to draw new customers – both players and fans – to your location, and tournaments last much longer than a standard game of pool.

Offering specials is another great way to keep customers in your establishment spending money. Restaurants and bars have reported success by employing some of these specials: 
  • Free game of pool with a pitcher of beer.  
  • Family night where kids play free  
  • A free appetizer with the purchase of a certain number of games 
No matter what type of venue you operate, billiards can help increase revenue, increase customer loyalty and bring in new customers. To find out more about coin-operated pool tables and whether they are the right fit for your location, contact BFC Enterprises today!

That's exactly why partnering with BFC Enterprises to select and manage your amusement games is a smart move. You get expertly matched equipment that maximizes fun, keeps customers engaged, and hits your revenue goals, without any of the guesswork or hassle. Game Selection Backed by Real Experience BFC Enterprises has spent decades placing games in all kinds of business environments. We've seen what works in shopping centers versus family restaurants. We know which games draw teenagers at youth sports facilities and which ones keep adults entertained at bars while they wait for their food. When we evaluate your location, we're looking at your customer base, your foot traffic patterns, and your available space. We're thinking about who's walking through your doors, how long they typically stay, and what kind of entertainment matches their vibe. Then we match game styles to those factors for optimal performance. You shouldn't have to figure this out through expensive trial and error. We already know what works. Maximize Play and Profit Here's a truth every business owner should know: not all amusement games perform equally in every location. Some games get tons of attention and consistent play. Others just take up space. We use data and hands-on experience to choose games that will actually get played. We place the ones that grab attention, generate consistent activity, and deliver the highest revenue return. This means more passive income for you without spending months testing different machines to see what sticks. Think of it this way: we're not just dropping random equipment in your location and hoping for the best. We're strategically placing proven performers that match your specific environment. That's the difference between a few extra bucks a month and a meaningful revenue stream. Regular Rotation Without the Hassle Even the best games can get stale after a while. That's why we don't just set it and forget it. BFC Enterprises actively monitors game performance at your location. When we notice engagement dropping or when there's an opportunity to refresh things, we rotate games to keep your customers interested and having fun. We also select seasonal prizes that keep people playing longer and coming back to see what's new. The best part? You don’t have to track any of this yourself. We handle the strategy, the swaps, and the prize selection. Your customers stay entertained, and you keep earning, all without lifting a finger. Full-Service Support You Can Count On When you partner with BFC Enterprises , you're not just getting equipment delivered and left behind. You're getting complete, ongoing support. We handle compatibility issues, maintenance, prize stocking, and repairs. If something breaks, you're not scrambling to fix it or figure out who to call. Our team takes care of everything while you focus on what you do best – serving your customers and running your business. This is truly passive income. No headaches, no technical problems to solve, no wondering if you picked the right equipment. Just steady earnings from games that work. The Bottom Line Adding amusement games to your location is a smart way to increase customer engagement, extend dwell time, and create an additional revenue stream. But only if you choose the right games and manage them properly. When you partner with BFC Enterprises, you get the best-performing, highest-return amusement setup – customized specifically to your business and your customers – without any of the work. We bring the expertise, the equipment, and the ongoing support. You bring the space and the customers. Together, we create more fun, more engagement, and more profit. Ready to get started?
