Also, rent out the tables used for MtG, 40k, D&D, etc. Don't make it expensive. Charge maybe $1/hr to use the table. Don't make it hourly, but the key is charging for the table. Too often I'd go into a game store, play 4-5 hours of 40k, and only spend $1 on a soda. That time on the table could have been used by a paying customer. Selling alcohol on certain nights sounds like a good way to make money, I just don't know if it would be profitable after all of the government regulation. Having lock-ins for the kids could be profitable. It seems like parents will pay any price to get the kids away from them for a few hours. | ||

The cost of updating the rigs caught up on us after a couple of year's and with the rent pegging you back it was really difficult. In the end the owner moved abroad and decided to close it. It basically paid for itself for 2+ years, bill + wages and it was just a lot of fun, that's it. Very hard to make a profit. | ||

"wat.. ur going somewhere to play video games with other ppl? nerd alert" its just not in our culture to view video games as a social device, unless ur bro'in out with the bros playing madden or some shit like that Well it's not like that around here, northern europe, I go to this huge lanparty once a year and I have a couple of lan-nights at my friends house every now and then. But I think gaming is a lot more common here, but what is most important is that you are proud of who you are! If you are a gamer then you shouldnt care what other people think because you are better then they are! Important to seperate nerds from gamers. | ||

As others have said i think one reason is lack of population density in the states. Besides NY, Boston, Chicago and San Fransisco almost all cities in the states are less dense than europe and probably even more so than asia. | ||
