*The best time to play here is over the winter. Usually January - April. At this point they've been cleaned up and work pretty well. (Worth .25 a game anyway)
Any idea why? Bennes pulled his and now Jillys. Especially curious after hearing its the best earner.

Maybe someone mad an offer on the machine that was too good to pass up.
From what I understand, the game didn't give them anymore tech problems than any of the other pins. They did, however, felt like it still needed a lot of updates and they wanted to get their money out of it while they could. If it continues to remain popular they may consider getting it again in the future.
Quoted from roc-noc:Thanks for saving me the drive but I guess you have to be in the secret club to know where Jilly's, Bennes, and Billy's are located.
Concentrate! Let your mind focus.......
jilly's... or at least the jilly's i know of...

edit: vid beat me by 3 seconds... lol...
Quoted from Newsom:If you are looking for playable location pin in OC, NJ, head north from Jilly's on the boardwalk a few blocks to the arcade that has SM, FG, TSPP, etc. Those pins are in nice shape.
Except this time of year your only option is Jilly's as everything else is closed. But I agree, in the summer the Hollywood Arcade on the boardwalk and 8th Street is the better bet by far.

That is true.
Too bad about the WOZ. When I was there a couple of months ago it was getting a lot of play.

Me too, I was not aware Bene's had been pulled.
Makes one wonder...
Did Jillys ever have a non proto WOZ?
Bummer. I really enjoyed playing WOZ this summer. It was by far in the best shape at JIllys.... the rest of the machines tended to need alot of help unless it was really new (even then, avengers would not kick out a ball the day I was there even though the machine looked brand new).
Good to hear the machines are in working order now. Hope he gets WOZ back.
I was there a couple weeks ago. The games
Work but weren't even worth the 25 cents to play. Weak
Flippers, broken plastics on play field, dirty. If you are close, go but if you have to drive more than 30 min, don't waste your time. Better to drive to silver ball.
They do have a great selection, but why do they allow all of their machines to fall into such a poor state.
Jillys is a quick 45 minute drive for us...and Ocean City is our favorite boardwalk.
My daughter and I hit EVERY (that's right, all four) arcade on the boardwalk each trip. I can't remember the last time we played pinball. They suck that bad...and all the pins are in the same condition. If you like to look at them, Jillys has a great selection and offers a lot of eye candy. If you want to play them, I would just suggest throwing your quarters in the ocean.
Maybe its just a coincidence, but every time, and I mean EVERY time we were there, the older gentleman at Jillys was under the hood of WOZ, and I never saw anyone playing it. We were there early last month and WOZ was gone.
I'm spoiled and I know it. All my machines work the way they were designed and offer fun each and every play. If something goes down, it is immediately fixed. With the exception of the arcade in the Deptford Mall, most pins are unplayable around here.

Try the Hollywood Arcade on OC. Their pins are very playable.
