Quoted from Blackbeard:DUmb question, but can you randomly just show up off the street and play pins?
Or is this just for people competing?
Pinburgh tkes place concurrently with the ReplayFX convention (Thursday - Sunday). From the start of ReplayFX there are over 100 pinball machines and 100s of video arcade machines available for free play inside the show, just buy a ReplayFX show ticket.
Pinburgh starts on Thursday and finishes on Saturday. Once competition is finished on Friday and Saturday's final banks have been set up, the majority of machines that were reserved for Pinburgh are opened up for freeplay to the rest of ReplayFX attendees.
So if you are not planning on going for multiple days, Saturday and Sunday will have the most free play pinball machines available.
