He is just copying the single most profitable arcade game available today, Derby Owners Club, it costs 150,000 and has a large install footprint, but it will take in $24 every 5 minutes on a busy friday or saturday night. There is one near where I live, on friday and saturday nights all 8 slots are filled (with people waiting in the wings) each person paying $3 every 5 minutes, so the machine is literally taking in about $300 an hour for a 6 hour stretch each friday and saturday and it sees decent play the rest of the week as well.
