Quoted from MrBally:

Again, arcades in casinos. They are usually quite large. For example, The Peppermill in Reno had seven pins a few weeks ago when I stopped in to play.
But for you, I'll add the public arcades in Michigan, California and the VFW Pinball compound. Does that make it any better for you?

Peppermill had a decent line-up.. but they aren't well taken care of. Atlantis had TWD and it was in shambles. Not sure what u two are posturing about, but I used to live in sparks. Press Start has a much better assortment of games than every casino combined in Reno.

Also.. now that I'm in Jacksonville, the bar Leaderboard has a TNA and RM. They have a DI as well. Then an assortment of Sterns and some older releases of various makes. If Reno is your barometer for pinball, I feel sorry for you. Pinball in Reno until we found press start was terrible. Peppermill arcade is a nightmare of kids and sticky fingers.

Quoted from roffels:

Ok, I barely have any time on JJP, but the one on location I played felt seriously underpowered. Do JJP games have weak flippers? I felt like I was playing a game that was 30-years overdue for a flipper rebuild.

The flippers on my DI feel weak but make every shot without issue. But the one we played at the bar was not good. I agree that in a home setting you can dial them in better (see what I did there?). Stern definitely has a lot more zip, I usually turn them down a bit. Seems the nature of the beast on JJP pins. To me they all seem a little lifeless, but the RM I played was the same way. It was frustrating. The TNA was great. Can't say a stern I've played recently lacked flipper strength.
