Game counter aka "odometer"

[herm99]

This isn't so much a question, but more of an fyi in case this question ever comes up. But I just learned this myself so figured I would share.

The little game counter that is located inside the coin drawer, which I will call the game "odometer", actually only counts games played that were played when coins or tokens were used. I had assumed it tracked every game played, but apparently it only counts games played with tokens.

Kind of disappointing, as I thought this would be a cool way to track mileage per say, but as my unit is a home unit, it's set to free play so basically none of my games played will ever be tracked.

Oh well, just thought I'd share.

I set my game up or one quarter and kept a cup full quarters close by to track games played. It helped eliminate people accidentally starting a game and having to unplug and plug it in again to reset. What could be a cooler piggy bank than a Super Chexx!!!!

Haha that's a great idea! I think I may have to do that next time I have a party! And what's a quarter right!? I think my friends won't mind donating to the cause.
