Quoted from PinballManiac40:Table is what is referred to in the Virtual Pinball world, not to be confused with a real pinball machine. Simple as that.
Got to keep the abbreviation of pin if talking about a real pinball machine, if one is too lazy to type out pinball machine.
I use them as tables all the time, fold laundry on them (4 pins in laundry room... see what I did there , stack parts on one machine while working on another, but never ever put my beer on them. Mostly I call them FUN!
