    Hey Fellow pinheds. A friend reached out to me today. He is about to open a new Barcade style establishment in Barrie Ontario. Now the City has changed their tone and is putting up a stank. From what I understand the City does not want the establishment to profit from arcade/pinball machines but my friends argument is that the machines will be on free play and the proceeds will come from food and beverage. The bylaw itself might have to be examined in my opinion.

    He has invested a lot of time and money in this project and is close to opening. He has over a dozen pins ready to go.

    If you have any advise or suggestions feel free to contact Aron at [email protected]

    If you are in the area and can attend the hearing and show support the public committee hearing is October 24th 630 pm, Barrie city hall, 70 Collier street, second floor, sir river Barrie room.

    The committee will listen to any comments:

    "Any person may write or attend the public hearing to present submissions. For more information, please contact the Planning Services Department, Barrie City Hall, 70 Collier Street, during regular office hours or 705-739-4208.
    File No.: A45/18"

    Please forward and share this message to all your fellow pinfriends!

    Man that stinks! I know alcohol and coin-op rules are different everywhere, but seems to me if the machines are on free play, they wouldn't have a say in the matter. They are practically furniture at that point.

    Unfortunately my only advice is to get him an attorney.

    So if a bar has board games like Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity does that mean the games are for profit?!
