    I brought 28 games from the pinside top 50 list to Pintastic this year and 23 games last year. Yes they get played between 500 and 800 plays over the show. I give them a good wax and have titan rubbers on all my games. I have never had an issue with any of them other than a quick cleaning of the PF and rubbers. I do set my tilts a bit tight to keep people honest and that seems to work well.

    We do have code of conduct signage all around the show and staff watching for any type of abuse. We do not condone any machine abuse and people will be first warned and than removed from the show if they are caught doing it again. I have personally warned a few people the last few years. But this is a rare endurance and most people are very respectful of my machines. We will be doing a few more banners with pictures of what will get you a warning and than ejected from the show. I think picture speak louder than words and will get noticed better.

    One thing I do stand by is if your game can make it through a show than it is pretty much bullet proof and we will even help you get it to that point with in reason. I always get a lot of joy from watching other people and kids playing my machines at the show. Of course with out people bringing games to the show all the great shows around the country would not exist. Why not try it and see for yourself you get more joy from it than you would ever think.

    I would like to personally thank each and every game bringer that contributed to Pintastic this year and made it an amazing show.

    We greatly increased awareness of staff and security this year thought out the free play room and vendor hall. Repair team members were wearing red vests and security orange vests. I think this helped keep people honest that we are watching. Passing gas is a natural occurrence and there is nothing you can do about it.
