1. Coin Drop Rate – Measures the number of coins or credits inserted per session, indicating player engagement.

2. Playtime Duration – Tracks average session length to assess game appeal and difficulty balance.

3. Earnings per Machine (EPM) – Calculates revenue generated by individual units for profitability analysis.

4. Maintenance Frequency – Records repair and downtime rates to optimize operational efficiency.

5. Player Retention Rate – Evaluates repeat visits, reflecting long-term game popularity.

By monitoring these metrics, arcade operators can enhance gameplay experiences and maximize revenue.
