Key Takeaways
- Push-score revenue tracks player visits × average spend × repeat rate far more than the game math itself.
- The score-to-prize ratio sets your margin — too generous and foot traffic costs you; too tight and players walk.
- Use the estimate to size a push-score floor zone, then request a per-market compliance quote.

How This Calculator Works
Push-score revenue is a repeat-visit business: daily players × average spend × repeat rate, minus prize cost. This tool lets a licensed operator in a regulated market model one or more push-score cabinets from four inputs — daily players, average spend per visit, repeat rate, and a score-to-prize ratio that sets your prize payout.

The Model
prize_cost_per_visit = avg_spend × prize_payout_ratio
net_per_visit = avg_spend - prize_cost_per_visit
daily_net = daily_players × net_per_visit × repeat_rate
weekly_net = daily_net × 7
The repeat rate is the multiplier most operators forget: a location that turns a one-time player into a twice-a-week regular doubles its effective base without spending a cent on acquisition.
A Worked Example
A pusher bank with 120 daily players, $8 average spend, 2.2× weekly repeat rate, prize payout ratio 35%:
- Prize cost per visit = $8 × 35% = $2.80
- Net per visit = $8 − $2.80 = $5.20
- Daily net = 120 × $5.20 × 2.2 ≈ $1,373/day
- Weekly net ≈ $9,610
Tighten the prize ratio to 28% and daily net jumps to ~$1,558 — but watch repeat rate; players notice.
Prize Ratio Is a Local Decision
Redemption limits and ticket values are set by jurisdiction, not by you. The calculator keeps the ratio as an operator input so you can model within whatever your compliance profile permits, then size the cabinet count from the net figure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a push-score game?
Push-score (also called pusher or ticket-redemption) games reward players with physical or digital tickets based on where a moving pusher arm pushes items, then tickets convert to prizes or store credit. In regulated markets the redemption value and ticket math are scoped per jurisdiction.
How does the score-to-prize ratio affect revenue?
It is your margin dial. A lower tickets-per-dollar ratio pays out less in prize cost, lifting net margin, but if players perceive weak value they stop returning. The calculator models both the prize cost and the repeat-visit effect so you can find the balance for your location.
Is this a gambling calculator?
No. These are redemption / skill-category games in many regulated markets, not wager-based gaming. The calculator treats player spend as entertainment spend and prize cost as a known variable. Always confirm the machine class and redemption limits with your local gaming authority.
