What's the highest play count you've ever seen on a game?

Most of the counters I've seen in old classics had too few digits and probably had rolled over...

Ken Layton's been in this business long enough he can probably give a reliable insight into this... (most operators keep logs for each machine on location)

How much was it per play?

Most of the classics I've seen had already cut the counter leads off at some point.  It's fairly rare now to get a classic now hasn't had some type of use between being on route and being in your hands.

I have no way of knowing.  Could have been as high as a dollar/play at some point, but I kinda doubt it (early 90's game).  I figure it was probably at $0.50/pay most of its life, maybe $0.75 for part of it.

FWIW... most of my classics have what appears to be the original coin door and coin counter.  Some, I'm convinced are the original doors/counters because it would be *extremely* difficult to change them (such as on my two VR Twins).

Some are 5 digit, so there's no way to know if it's been rolled over.  I think that with the exception of the very popular, top-10 type of games, most probably didn't roll over.
