One of the most popular aspects of Manco’s gaming machines and pool tables is the option to have one on your premises on a profit share arrangement, so that rather than paying an upfront rental fee, you just pay over a percentage of any proceeds from the machine.

This is already clearly advantageous for premises where you are not confident about how many people will use your gaming machines on any given day, as you will not be expected to pay more than the agreed percentage of the takings.

But at Manco we go further to make sure you are not asked to pay more due to mechanical faults in calculating the takings from your pub pool table, jukebox or fruit machine.

We use profit share software that is able to compare your machine’s latest meter reading with that on our last visit – similar to a gas or electricity meter, in principle – for a fast but accurate measure of how much you have made.

And we know mistakes can be made too, so the software is designed in such a way that any unusual results are flagged up.

This means, for example, that if your coin slot has started registering 5p’s as £1 coins, the software will alert us to this and we can make sure you are collecting only the right amount, as well as scheduling maintenance to get your coin slot working as it should be again.

We partner with a specialist provider for this software, and keep it a closely guarded secret from our competitors, so it really is a service you’re unlikely to get anywhere else.

For us, it means we can give you an accurate audit trail for your profits at any given moment, and with high accuracy, peace of mind for all.
