I keep reading posts saying the game is "bolted to the floor." Sure I've believed that myself and then later sold one. Got me wondering though, has that ever actually been a thing? Where does the phrase come from? And what do you do, remove the feet and thread a bold down from the top?
Quoted from Irishbastard:I have a 1940's gas pump in front of my garage, I poured a slab and bolted it to the ground, otherwise it would "grow legs" for sure. No pins bolted down tho
I bought this a while back planning to turn it into a EV charger and put it outside. I was suppose to buy a junk one I wouldn’t worry about. That didn’t happen and I’ve got more into this stupid thing than some pins I’ve owned. It’s not outside charging my car now for the very reason you mentioned. I’ve been looking for another junker to actually place outside. So far I guess we can agree Gas Pumps do *literally* get bolted to the floor (outside). Coin pushers as well.

You could bolt it and leave it a little loose right? Allowing a little nudging.
Quoted from AxelBlonde:Recently played in a lasertag, a Star Wars Data East had the feets bolted to the concrete wall.
Tried nudging, didn't work that well.
How were the feet attached to the wall?
Quoted from chad:Years ago at the toll road rest stop ( McDonalds) there were games on both ends. The pins were not bolted but rather chained together.
Edit: middle 1990s
Makes sense. 24hr truck stop and truckers move heavy things all the time. A thief like that could more easily drive off with a pin compared to most.
