My friends own the bar, I've added 10 pinball machines to it over the past year. We started with one and it grew fast. I've worked in bars for about 15 years myself, but the cost of a license in my state is prohibitive to opening my own place. We have both benefited. Two nights a week we have scheduled events for pinball that bring in about 20 people most of which are eating and drinking, and I've found some free space in my house and have even bought two pins now specifically for the location. Another benefit is a different bar in town has now contacted me about putting some games there.
