    Victoria finally has a dedicated arcade that just opened ... Quazar's in the heart of downtown Victoria (located in Trounce Alley) .. 20 pins on location the makority are DMDs with a few SS pins added in. Well worth a visit if you happen to be in town

    Quoted from wtuttle:

    Certainly don't mean anything against any specific location, including your group's excellent one, for which the Edmonton area is fortunate to have. This is more of an entire community effort to make Pinball mainstream again. For instance, in the bank vault location at Habit Coffee, you are basically playing in the front window of the main street of downtown Victoria. Imagine playing in the middle of Times Square and with the most prestigious pins as currently on offer--Willy Wonka, Rick & Morty, GnR, etc... For instance, Jurassic Park Premium got bounced from this location...so worthwhile, I feel grateful to have experienced it, and I've probably ruined it for those who read this post. Apologies.
    Just wanted to pump the tires of this unexpected gem and it's two sister locations, both of which are actually likely better for certain reasons than the one I'm currently posting about.

    Great to have out of town folks getting to tour the sites .. there are actually four good locations within the downtown area .. Steve the owner of the three you mentioned is a huge benefit to the community and is very passionate about pinball. I started organizing events here back in Sept of 2018 (this would predate the locations you were able to get to) and seeing the city (and now the mid Island as well) grow has been a blast even with the setbacks from covid. There are strange liquor laws here on the Island, the one licensed location to play at still cannot allow drinks to be at the games so you end up with your drinks at a table and alternate between drinking and playing. From 2018 we've gone from 2 IFPA players to more than 100 with 40-50 fairly active as well we've gone from zero tournament locations to holding events at around 10 or 11 spots now ... it's been quite a ride and it happens when many folk spend their time organizing and volunteering (much like the Edm, Cal and Van folk running their leagues, tourneys and shows)
