With a separate high score board I consider it "less cheating" than changing replays to extra balls.

Quoted from TheLaw:I keep it active but rarely use it. Most games with it have seperate high scores, and it's good for friends to be able to use it.
Every single buy-in button on a machine I have seen active in an arcade setting. I have never seen a replay award an EB.
Quoted from mbaumle:Side thought: I kinda wish that if you turn the extra ball buy-in feature off, it would also no longer show the buy-in high scores in attract mode.
Fair.
Quoted from DK:The only way I’ll press that stupid button is when I am playing Jack-Bot
Double fair.
Quoted from Ockeyhead:A machine on location w/ this feature would earn an additional 11% or so. Just a simple & effective gimmick to keep the funds flowing into the pinball industry back then.
Most people on here have actually said it hurt business; the player becoming board or getting too far and then not playing anymore.
Always been interested in whether it were true...I always believed it since they never brought it back.
