If I were to buy a hi-striker, is it realistic to think I can make any money? I ave seen it done where a player can receive a prize or the player gets his/her ego stroked. It is not a career switch but I believe I have made enough connections when I was on the road and even recently to make sure I can pick up about a dozen spots a year in the NY,NJ,PA areas. Anyone have any thoughts?[?]

You MUST have an energetic mic-man/woman , this will generate "tips" which will be the only way to make money . People have to hear what's going on , you almost have to run it like a bobo tank , [way less insults and more coaxing and ego stroking] . I used to run a "speed-ball" and had 'em tipped up every night using this formula .
So, in a few years, if you're walking down a midway and see a Sixcat or a Swinger or a bucket, look around. You might recognize an old man with a smile on his face. Especially if he's saying, "Hey Buddy, can I ask ya?" -sixcat,circa. 2007

If you want to make the jack and show eli what it is all about, will have to get an electronic hi-striker. Tip of the day-No one handed swinging.

Also make sure the little kids get a prize every time!!!
When i was running one i ran it more like a guesser would with alittle teaseing involved but not enough to make them mad!!!
If you know how to have fun with people you WILL make $$$$[:D]

Depends on what you call money. For me it wouldn't be worth the bother. But, That's just me.
