i'm in as well. I currently operate www.EastSidePinball.com in Minnesota. 7 Pinballs in one location and 1 in another location.

Here is my location inside Sun Ray Lanes.

I also created a website and offer information about leagues, tournaments and other info that has been really helpful.

Here is a list of my Pins currently on location at East Side Pinball.

I don't really do a free play nights but I have remotes on most of my machines and actively play there so I give away lots of games. I enjoy giving extra games to kids and families.

Mine locations are under 24/7 1080p hd cameras. I can see everything, even read the DMDs, and see the money if any is on the machine.

Mine are on from 8:00AM-Midnight/1AM Daily.

Morning guys,

What do you all set your Addams at? Is $1.00 to much? Should I do .75/1 2.00/3 or something? It's hard because it's an older game indeed, but it's also one of the most expensive games in the lineup for me. I'm finalizing the restoration and now onto testing about another week until it hits the lineup. Here's a pic of it tonight.

Great advice! I can agree completely! I treat my location as a hobby but it's a lot of work. I'm there daily and work hard to ensure the games operate properly and are clean! I'm not in it for the money, I truly am a hobby operator. The money that I do make is put back to swap games out and keep the games I do have operating properly. DO NOT QUIT YOUR DAY JOB TO OPERATE PINBALL and expect to become rich

Anyone operate a Big Guns?

Always room!

Getting ready to route me Johnny and we decided because the theme isn't gonna draw customers to the play the pin, we went all out on the LEDs! Hopefully it will attract a few players that like flashy colorful things. It's working wonders on my Game Show on location

Wow, 2 bucks a play is hard here in the US. Its hard to get 1.00 for a game here. I have a few at 1.00 and the rest at .50.

I added the swamp accelerator on my Addams and man, what a difference!

Must have! Thanks again for that Hilton!

Placed a Fish Tales on Location last week. So far so good.

Already ordered

Got the ColorDMD installed today. Waiting on the ROM

Hey Guys, Here is video of an event we just put on this past weekend. It was a lot of work but very awesome to hear people enjoy pinball!

He's always welcome! 3M is literally across the street

One of the challenges I have faced operating games today is that bartenders and staff shutdown the games up to 2 hours before they close. Its annoying and I don't want to get involved with the owner as he would be pretty angry. He always says you can't play if they aren't on. I have to agree. I installed smart outlets controlled by my home automation that I extend into the location that now turn on and off the games automatically based on a schedule we set. However if people are still playing after close and the games still have activity the motion from the camera stream will extend the timer.

Im pretty happy with this solution so far.

That'll happen every now and then.

Added TWD Wednesday afternoon. So far so good!

I tried that once. It was a mutiny lol.

Great idea! I bet that saves time! Could have used that tonight! Ha

I agree Sprayaway and ZEP40 is what I use as well.

We have been using them on location as well. During the state fair we had 2 slings break after 7 days but they are getting heavy play so not upset about it. I like the colors as well!
