    Quoted from TigerLaw:

    The only place possible is in the arcades where parents dump their kids while they gamble. The truth is those arcades are just gambling redemption devices where the kids play for tickets for cheap toys.
    Arcades are dead even in casinos where they have arcades...

    While there are a lot of redemption games, there are still a lot of arcade games as well. Pinball is less prevalent than racing and gun games, but there are some. The Peppermill here in Reno has AC/DC, Metallica, and Mustang. Atlantis has Walking Dead, and Circus Circus has Star Trek. Other casinos have older games. Casinos usually have all of the latest arcade games, most of which make pinball machines look pretty cheap. I just don't know if pinball gets played enough to make the extra maintenance worth it.

    I don't know if skill based gaming will actually happen though. It would still have to be in the house's favor even with perfect play, so it probably wouldn't attract very many players long term.
