OK, but how many times have you tried to use cash in a pinball machine on location and the coin slot was jammed or wouldn't accept coins? It's certainly happened to me many more times than I have had a problem using my debit card to make a purchase in a shop. I can't even remember the last time I couldn't use the card but a GOT I tried to play just last week wouldn't take my coins. It would be nice to have the option to use both.
