    I just don't know how you go through so many games so quickly (without means to transport). I get wanting to try out games, but it would be far cheaper to go to a pinball show (even if you had to fly) than what you've spent flipping games.. Just to get it out of your system. Before you even consider buying another pin, I would really do your homework and figure out what pinball will truly make you happy. I know virtual pinball isn't the same, but it's free (on the PC anyway) and would allow you to try out a lot of games quickly and get familiar with them before deciding what you really want to keep around.

    Quoted from waspinat0r:

    I don't live in an area with enough pinball interest to route, in my opinion

    There's ALWAYS a place to route pinball so long as you have a location with traffic and people waiting around. Truck stops are great because truckers are usually waiting around while their big tanks fill up, or they're ordering food and waiting for it. Hotels can also be a good location because often people are traveling with groups and don't have a rental car to explore the area. With that said, routing isn't as simple as throwing a pinball somewhere (there are many threads talking about this in depth). You have to negotiate split, you have to buy insurance, pay vendor tax, be on call when the pin breaks down (or gets a ball stuck, unless you trust the owner with keys to unstuck balls and not try to steal the cashbox).
