Currently, Candy Slam disincentivizes people from playing together because each player is basically stealing tickets from the other when they hit a target. You basically never see people playing on the same cabinet, but rather side-by-side cabinets, for this reason.
I think the ticket payout should be more like Bug Bytes where the individual scores are added together and then given to each player. Ticket earnings for each person will only be slightly higher than in single player since a single person can hit most of the targets already, and the ones that are missed by the first player can potentially be hit by the second.
