I help run a charity arcade and have some Stern pins there (Aerosmith, TMNT, POTC) on Free Play. While some of the folks there understand pinball, a lot don't - they will hit the start button multiple times, play a ball or two (or none!), then just walk away to do something else. I don't really care so much about that, as I have the games set to auto launch after one minute of inactivity so it drains the game.

With that said, what happens is by the audits, it appears these pins get WAY more play than they actually do - remember, any time someone starts a game that isn't really a game, it counts as four more plays. So I was curious if there was a setting that would only allow single player games.

Also open to any other suggestions any one may have. Thanks!

Quoted from DK:

I believe the newest games have that option (Spike 2)

Thanks! Turns out TMNT definitely has that option but sadly Aerosmith does not. Guess that means I just need to get some newer games! LOL

Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:

Whenever Aerosmith gets the update that allows Insider Connected, I believe this feature will be ported over. Any Stern LCD game should have it soonish.

Awesome to hear. Thanks for the info!
