CHICAGO — December sales rose in the South, West and Northeast, while Midwestern operators saw sales fall after they had risen in November, according to the most recent AmericanCoinOp.com unscientific StatShot survey.
December sales in the South (compared to December 2009 sales) were up 1%. This might be somewhat misleading since about 60% of operators had a sales decrease. However, a good number of operators experienced healthy sales increases, which offset the larger number of decreases.
