We call this the "quarter drop". Beer at our Eagles is $1.25, so when people get their change back, they usually have 3 quarters laying in front of them. With this, you drop a quarter into the jar and if it lands in the shot glass, you win a beer chip. Last Sunday, we profited $18.75 after paying for 3 beer chips for the winners. It is a very simple concept, but people enjoy trying to master the challenge!
