yeah but a lawyer is still a good idea. i mean this is a good stunt, but the guy isn't really giving anything away as pointed before as he doesn't own anything. i am sure he will open his books to someone serious and not the newspapers or he won't find any takers. good luck, it is exciting to think about this. if you can make a living doing what you live, it's priceless!
i think the comment about 6 weeks is dead on. a lot of businesses in my nearby downtown have done awesome the first month or two cause everyone in town is coming out and there's all sorts of free publictly writeups in the newspapers, etc. then it drops off some and not quite at the level as before. then it takes time to build up again.

The key I think is to get as many non-leased game in as you can so you are getting all the money from them. You will need to lease some to get the newer tiltles, or finance them, but cutting out as many middle-men as possible would be a big help.

Well I just got back...wasn't QUITE a wasted trip, as I got to peer in the window. They were CLOSED. Dammit!
It's fairly spacious, decent number of games, I *think* I saw a pool table. Couple driving games, I know I saw Primal Instinct sideart (whether or not the game was PI I can't say) and one of those commercial multi-games in the front.
JoyMonkey:
Sounds promising. Does the part of town it's in look like it could be busy?
SirPeale:
It's hard to say. There has been some development recently. Some really nice shops have moved in. Quite a change from the last time I went looking down there. Nothing but empty store fronts, and I think a dollar store. ::)
