Just check the audits on my four machines. In 367 days we have clocked up a total of 2196 games. On average we play 6 games a day, every day.

I play every day . I have set scores on machines and I play till I get that score sometimes its one game sometimes I'm there for a while. Being in a league I find it helpful to play every day. I don't keep audits or batteries in my games to avoid leak damage.
Quoted from Chrisbee:In 367 days we have clocked up a total of 2196 games.
The Only Pin that has been in the GRG 367 days would be BSD . HS2 less than a Yr ..
Maybe I could lOOk back and see how many Pin's Came & Went in the last 367 days ...

BSD is a keeper?
I have only had my BSD since July this year. It has 681 games.It's average is 5 games a day. I'm hopeless at the left hand ramp shot.
Quoted from Jokercyclone:I don't keep audits or batteries in my games to avoid leak damage.
I have external battery holders and i change the battery every year.
Quoted from kwiKimart:I play about once or twice a week, but only because I work at random times throughout the week.
no wonder its once or twice a week, too much time spent on the forum board!!! lol 92,250 pkp ??? go play some more

I work away from home, so I'm only home from Thursday night to Monday morning..
I play each pin at least once each day I'm home on the weekends, I'd guess. My best guess is about 2 hours a day total play time, so about 8 hours a week.
I'm still not a very good player, but I'm getting better now that I'm actually playing regularly.
Quoted from herbertbsharp:over 20 games a day, on Tron I'm at 750 in 63 days,
At this point you win most active player, Imagine if you put $1 for each game.
I play a few games every night, usually while waiting on my dogs to eat so about 15 minutes or so. JP is getting a rest now that I've got RFM, and also because it's control room switch isn't working properly right now. I'd say on average between the 2 games, husband and I put in about 100 games a week.
Now my parents play nightly also, and between them I'd guess about 300 games/week.
Not enough. It seems I'm lucky to get down there once or twice a week and play a couple of games on one or two machines.
This post is begging for a poll IMO
But I play almost every day, 1-2 hours usually total play time per evening
Every Day. Weekdays I play for about 30 minutes just in the door from the office and for another 30 minutes after dinner. Weekends - probably about the same but scattered throughout the day.
Play rotates amongst my 5 games depending what I am in the mood for. If I am in the mood for a project and high drama, I play LOTR. If I am in the mood for something much simpler I play Comet or Genie. Nostalgia - I play Roller Coaster (sometimes I just gotta hear an old-school chimebox). If I need something that will kick me into gear - it's Hook because the music makes you instantly wake up and have energy.
Depends on the game. If I'm playing my Black Knight 2000, one game a day is enough, since one game can take me 15-20 minutes or more. If I'm playing Sorcerer instead, I can play 7-8 games in the same amount of time. Swords of Fury, 1-3 games. Haunted House and Laser Cue, usually 2-5.
I have over 20000 games played on my machines since I first bought IJ back in 1999. It averages out to about 135 games/month. I keep an Excel spreadsheet of the games played on each machine every month. Then I check the trends and can decide which games need to be sold/traded. For example, I recently traded away LOTR....while I think its a great game, it got played maybe 10 times this year, which makes it an expensive piece of art collecting dust 
I'll post my stats tonight
I average 3-5 games maybe every other night. I can't keep track of audits or high scores cause I don't keep batteries in any of my games. Even with the remote holders, it's one less thing for me to worry about.
I play about 5-10 games a day.
For those that don't keep batteries in, you just bypass the adjustment failure each time?
I do, I just open the coin door and hit the menu buttons to exit adjustment failure, then add a few credits via the coin mech...
I also unplug the game when I'm done, I see/repair alot of damaged appliances in my line of work due to voltage spikes, or lightning in this area. I repair household appliances for a living....
I definitely don't play my 2 pins enough.
So that being said, my new years resolution will be to play more pinball!
Daily just to make sure I still suck and the game did'nt mysteriously break in the middle of the night.
I play about 4 times a week, but don't have my own pin yet.
Drive two hours round trip to play for at least three hours straight at least once a week at a somewhat local arcade. Then the other times a week the gf and I go to an actual local Chuck-e-Cheese to play the sad Pirates of the Caribbean pin they have there (really fun pin, but they don't service it, and the left flipper makes me want to cry its so weak), bc it's the only pin we've been able to find in our town since becoming obsessed a few weeks ago.
Can't wait to buy my own machine and play a LOT more though!
