I've seen an article about it but it doesn't look like they have any classics or pinball machines.

From the posted article:

"The arcade aspect of the project features mainstays like “Time Crisis,” “House of the Dead” and various pinball machines. One section was reserved for vintage games like “Frogger.” Claw machines are scattered throughout."

It said there was a Lord of the Rings in the article. One pin? Sheesh. It’s the kiddie casino.

In the article is a 40sec video and you can see two JJP's front and center in one of the clips.

Just went. Had 4 jjp machines. Di played nice, Woz not working, Hobbit played ok and the biggest disappointment Gnr se broken.

Heard they have a few more machines there now. Anyone recently go for a visit?

I was there in the last few months and they’ve now upgraded to about 70+ pins, all lined up as soon as you walk in from the boardwalk entrance. Wide variety of games across eras, now with a few modern sterns to compliment their previous JJP lineup.

Highly recommend the duck pin bowling as well. It’s in the middle bar area.

This on top of a quick walk to Ocean to play some top golf and have a few drinks makes for a great night out while avoiding burning money in slot machines.

Good stuff.... Going to head there soon.

Finally got over to Lucky Snake. Some of the pins need some work if I'm honest...but overall it was cool to play some pinball while in AC. All needed a good glass cleaning likely from the moist air right by the ocean. (I wish I had brought some windex with me) The duck pin bowling was so much fun I started googling to see if I can put one in my basement! haha. Anyway, definitely worth the visit if down in AC...

I visited last week and am heading back soon. Newer Stern pins they had were Avengers, GotG, TMNT, Led Zeppelin, and the Mandalorian, I’m pretty sure all Pro models. The TMNT had a weak left flipper but games were mostly in good playing condition. Also lots of 90’s classics, the Cactus Canyon remake, and plenty of old EM stuff if that’s your thing.

All the pins are $1 per play, except maybe a few of the older EM machines that are 50 cents.

While Silverball Museum in Asbury Park has the advantage of free play after paying an entry fee, Lucky Snake does have newer Stern machines that they do not. On the other hand, Silverball Museum has the entire lineup of Jersey Jack games in Limited Edition iirc, and all the JJP at Lucky Snake are standard. I live under a 40 minute drive from both, so I’m fortunate to get to play all these machines. These places plus Yestercades in Red Bank and Westfield, and Starcade in Hamilton Mall give me so many options to play great pinball in NJ.

Here’s the current list of games at Lucky Snake from their website, which seems accurate based on my last visit:

Thanks for the report--I'll be checking that place out in a few weeks. Looking forward to getting some time on that Diamond Lady, Secret Service, and Space Hawks!

You can pay by the hour or per day to play pinball at Lucky Snake. Its much more cost effective this way if you are staying a while. This is what I did during my visit. Dont' tell anyone, but you can use the card for other machines (not the claw machines) to play as well but it won't credit you any points. Shhhhh.... I played about 150 games of pop and shot as well as duck pin bowling using my pinball daily pass card. This will save a ton of money vs buying the individual credits to play.

Don't forget Jilly's in Ocean city, newest Sterns are now .50 and older pins are .25 can't beat that price.

Thanks, I didn’t realize this was an option. I went again the other day and got a $50 card, which gives you $60 in credits. Once I use that up I’ll ask for the daily pass, since I usually spend several hours there.

I got a few things wrong in my original post. Their Wonka is actually a limited edition, and their GotG is a premium.

My one disappointment is that a lot of games are out of order when I go, and several more with minor issues. I contacted them through their site to try and let them know about some issues on their newer Sterns so that maybe they will address it. If nobody tells them, they may never know.

Awesome, I’ve never been there but I will definitely take a ride down soon and check it out. Do they have a good lineup of games?

Last time I was there, everything was upped to .50 a play, even the older games. Still not bad, considering most stuff everywhere else is a buck a play now.

Yeah a few machines had issues when I sent. I remember family guy didn't have a card reader so could not be played. They don't have many people walking around to help fix even minor issues.

That’s good to hear about Silverball. I love that place but definitely wish they would get some modern Sterns in. They don’t have any newer than Simpsons Pinball Party, Elvis, etc.
