Whilst I agree there's no need for people's wacky rules a la "You gotta play a machine 500 times before you can make a decision" I will say that sometimes you don;t know the rules in under a dozen plays. Of course sometimes it doesn't matter; I didn't need to play WWE after the first time

My old buddy used to tell me when he really got hooked on crack, it was "the bellringer" that did it. Technically it wasn;t his first time but early on that one had him locked in.

Tastes can change too.

There have been games that I found I didn't like, then after a couple years, I revisited them and found that I actually enjoyed them, unlike my earlier experiences with them.

Loved within minutes:
Taxi
Road show
Cyclone
Walking dead (and i do not like or watch the show)
Earth Shaker

Hated within minutes:
Metallica
Guns and Roses (i consider this to be the worst high value pin I've ever played)
Space station

This rarely happens with me unless it's a game that I had no respect for when it was released and never played, or the game I played was not setup properly. One example is Fish Tales. Didn't like it in the arcade, but now I do. Another is Meteor. Was just ok in the arcade, bought one and set it up properly and now it's in my top 10.

There are several games I played in the arcades and just thought, meh. I've bought some of them thinking I'd give them another try. Still meh.

I've turned off some of the recent games after two balls and know they are not for me.

Dialed In on location got a second dollar out of me so I know it's a winner.
