    I enjoy places that charge admission, then all the pins are on free play. It allows me to try so games I normally wouldn’t pay for. I enjoy Uptown Pinbal in Martinsville VA, he keeps all his pins in great working condition

    Quoted from FatPanda:

    I actually hate these places, as you get people/kids that add 4 players and don't finish a game, or games that have so many plays on them, that they play like crap and aren't maintained. The place here locally has, B or C title games, color-bombed LEDs, errors/malfunctions, and just terrible shooting games. I would much rather pay the $1 and get a full playing, clean, well maintained game, for a proper experience.

    Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Mike at Uptown Pinball keeps all of his machines in amazing shape. Everything works great and he takes pride in his pins. Unfortunately a lot of people are in it just for money and don’t care about the customers. If you’re ever near southern VA, go check him out
