    Great job with Pintastic this year. The volunteers did a great job!
    I enjoyed bring a couple games and found the check-in process very easy.

    One suggestion I would make is to increase the size of the font used to display the price is a game was for sale. I spoke to a few people just to make sure it was not my eyesight. They all said they could not see the price from the players perspective.
    I know you can take out your phone and scan the QR code to get more information but if you are going to put the price on the green card, maybe make that price twice or three times the current size?

    Looking forward to coming back in June.

    Quoted from Grandnational007:

    Oh no, I WOULD absolutely trust you folks under the hood and to not "screw up a game" and definitely not worry about having someone adding credits, not an issue at all...
    I did leave an extra key at the desk for stuckies, etc. with Nancy; but I think the basic issue here was that nobody ever simply told any of the staff when the game was out of credits, haha. You guys can't attend to a game if nobody tells you about it. Again, it was my fault, and it won't be an issue in the future.

    As a previous System 80B owner, I wrestled with the credit issue on my Monte Carlo a couple years back. I came up with a simple and elegant solution to modernizing the game and any similar systems for "free" play. I replaced the switch behind the START button with a dual switch commonly used as a flipper switch from a 3 flipper game. This provides 2 independent switches with one button-press. One pair of contacts connect to the original start wires, the second pair of contacts connect to the coin switch. With this configuration, every time a person presses the start button, a credit is added.
