I make more money on non-pinball people. My locations make more money on non-pinball people. Listen, I love pinball people but they are not an operator’s bread and butter. I’d say a happy medium would be that you address the issues to the op and hope they fix what they can in a timely manner. Generally, we choose the best playing ones and go for it warts and all while appreciating that someone spends the money that they do upfront to bring us a variety of games.

I’m also a terrible pinball player who spends most of the time at league drinking and socializing, so take my opinion with that in mind. I pretty much go just for that. I like the flashy lights and flippy flippers and the pretty art; the vibe on a nice night out playing some pinball with others.

From an operator’s standpoint, though, what I said is true. Competitive pinball players pretty much just clean up on the low replays left in the wake of the thousand crappy players before them. It’s fun to watch but it’s not worth driving yourself to the brink of extinction over.

Oh to have enough games to pull games for a flaky switch/connection.
