Nice to see clean working games on location. I'll be visiting there soon, so thanks for posting.

Yeah those are definitely new games put there within the past couple of months. I was in NYNY back in January and all they had were two heavily routed games, one of which was broken at the time. How much does it cost to play those machines? Is it $1 with the 3 for $2 option? I will be going back to Vegas in December and look forward to visiting there.

This is great news! I'm in Vegas right now... Visiting the NYNY Tomorrow

That's real cool!

I'd like to use the rest of this comment space to thank Tim and all the volunteers at the PHOF. Without you and a few other like minded individuals pinball probably wouldn't be in the resurgence we all wish/hope/think it's in now. I feel the slight that the OP pays you guys here is somewhat unjust. I appreciate you guys/gals for all the time and effort you put in, I don't expect my idea of perfection to be met when I walk thru your door. Keep up the great work! Sincerely thanks

A 55-65k outlay @ NYNY shows commitment? Chump change to them. Don't get me wrong though I'm thrilled to see these new games out and happy to hear that they made your night. Let's hope they can keep them spotless and working perfectly up to your standards long term

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like a place worth of a visit. Those blue things are for custom cards that you need to load money onto?

I think we *should* have the expectation of machines playing well on location. No need to guilt trip the OP about it.

Location play is definitely on the up-swing in the last few years. In the bay area there are still tons of "bad" places, but also a lot of "playable" and "excellent" venues.

I was at Gestalt in SF last night and there were eight games in great shape getting lots of play, including a Space Shuttle that played like new. Initially I balked at 75 cents per game but it was on 5-ball and playing beautifully.

There's the drawback at that location: card readers. I hate those things with a passion!

Even worse on a pin because they're between you and the game! I avoid any place that uses these contraptions.

I thought those were medical scanners used for testing for ball cancer?

I'm not a huge fan of Cards, myself, but they are the "it" thing and what a lot of Arcades are doing today. I saw it as early as the 90's. They mix the classic arcade play with redemption play. In Casinos, it's all cards, for example, now. Like it or not, it's here to stay. If they've work pinball into the mix, I'm alright with that.

No, you certainly were not.

With the card readers you completely lose the concept of money so it makes the games profitable again.

agreed. just walk into a D&B's and throw $20-40 on a card and give it to your kids. then watch how quickly they come back because the card is "empty"

Was in Vegas the beginning of July and spent a good bit of time in NYNY. Don't know if they were there then. If they were I sure missed them. I've played most of them, but still would have been cool to see. Will definitely check them out next time.
