It makes me laugh everytime I hear about people who "want to start an arcade" and have no idea what they are doing. I mean sure we all have dreams, but just grow up a bit.
1.
No one cares about Bemani (Sorry they don't)
2. Assuming you actually have the funds to buy Bemani, what else are you going to buy when you realize a bunch of DDR Kids and a couple IIDX players can't actually keep you in business?
3. Redemption is pretty much the only thing that makes money. Aside from a few games here or there, most of the money made is through all those ticket games.
4. Can you even fix the machines that break down? Even with just a few people a year that’s still 60k-100k ish just in salaries every year. Not to mention renting space, and other utilities.
P.S. - Prepare to be willing to lose nearly everything you got ( your house namely) when the bank claims their collateral. If they'll even lend you anywhere near enough money to buy an arcade or start one.
There is a reason most small businesses fail, and an even greater reason for Arcades.

The man speaks the truth.
EDIT: Oh wait, you're 15. Sorry for shattering some childhood dreams or something. BTW - There is no Santa Claus.
