Yes, but remember that an operator has further costs. First, he has to pay the machine that wasn't cheap to buy outright. Second, he has to share revenues with the venue hosting the machine. That goes between 20-60% AFAIK. Then there is the maintenance cost, time spent lubing and adjusting, and restocking + travel time. So yes, overall, the operator better make sure you don't just pay for the teddies!
