Went there tonight! Very chill place with a lot of beer options. I played 3 games with a high score of 335k. Gives me a reason to go back to try and top your 790k!!! Love that I had no idea there would be a pin there and just stumbled upon it, came to pinside to research Scorpion and found this thread. My wife was like ‘nerd alert!’

Quoted from Aniraf:

Hahaha! Awesome!
How was it playing for you? I noticed the top right segment is failing on the player 3&4 scores. I metered it yesterday morning and cannot find the issue :/. I need to keep researching that.
From what I can tell, the trick to big scrores is to get the multiball, then shoot them both into the upper playfield. If you can just keep them up there for a while, you can crush the high score.
I keep heading over to play it myself, so maybe I’ll run into you. If you see a big white dude with some kind of gaming related t-shirt on playing it, hit me up and I can give you some free credits.

It played great, everything was working as it should as far as I could tell. I got multiball going 4-5 times. I would have put more games on it but it was date night with the wife and we were in bar hop mode. Will be back and bring friends next time with a roll of quarters for sure.

If I was going to be super picky I would say the bottom right flipper was a touch weak and the tilt was too sensitive for my taste .

I salute you kind sir for operating that pin and allowing others to experience it!

Quoted from Aniraf:

I’ll check that bottom right flipper. I thought it felt good, but is is so hard to tell! I will tell you that I think the right side button needs a bit more plastic shaved off because it kind of clicks against the cabinet and annoys me. I’ll fix that.
As for the tilt, you stop man handling my machine you monster! I didn’t adjust the tilt at all after cleaning it, I thought it felt good, but I’m not a big tilt player. I need to learn how to be more effective with tilts.
I’ll PM you a code for some free games if you have a modern phone which can use the PayRange app. Hit me up on PM and tell me what device you have. I know I’m not a good coin operator in terms of making money, but I love people playing the games.

Thanks for the offer but no way am I gonna play for free, I gotta support location Pinball. Dropped by today with my son, start em early.

Swung by today after work. All 4 games were playing great! Thanks for putting these out there!!

Quoted from Aniraf:

Absolutely! I hope you had a good time. I was there messing with them, if I missed you I am sorry. I always try to give out free games to people who enjoy the machines. This is hands down the best way to go broke.
Hopefully everything goes well tomorrow at the free play/tournament. I’m going to do my best to make sure everyone is having fun .

Not sure what you look like but I did walk up to Oktoberfest and it had a credit loaded! Also got a match on Blk Night so 2 free games while I was there, great times! I would have played a few more games had PayRange been working for the 2 newer pins. Are you going to set them up for that or is it not possible?

I have used PayRange at this location because I’m someone that rarely has cash on me. While PayRange is more convenient and I probably spent more than I would have otherwise I would describe it as ‘buggy’ and could see it actually turning people off from wanting to use it.

I was dead set on getting it to work because I’m a pinhead but can’t really see the average Joe downloading the app and loading money on it to try the pins out in a bar.

As long as the change machine stays loaded with quarters you are probably fine just sticking with it.

Can’t thank you enough for what you are doing to increase location Pinball in my hood! I’m going to try to convince the wife to hit up Hop Central tomorrow night after our date plans. I think the allure of Jurassic Park should be enough!!!

Was just there and got 6 games in on JP and a couple of pints. Great place, thank you so much for putting these pins out there in the wild!
