Not sure if anyone is still looking for places to play pinball in upstate SC, but we have found "24" (the name of the pinball machine, but just one of them) at the Carmike in Spartanburg. Always call to make sure any machine is working.
Ripley's Believe it or Not was at Frodo's Pizza on S Pleasantburg in Greenville. It needed repairs, so call ahead to see if it's working.
We found the CSI pinball machine working at Wade Hampton Lanes (Bowling) in Taylors. It was in good working order.
If you are willing to go to Columbia, the Palmetto Pinball Club usually has some sort of event once a month. They are on Facebook, but I am not so check there for details.
I hope to get people together at my house once my machines are all in working order.
I have never posted anything on any forum anywhere before, so be forgiving, please.
