Quoted from northvibe:I’m off to the Baxter, Brainerd, breezy point area for the weekend. Anyone know of games on route? Truck is getting a Berliner put on I’m Baxter so I’ll be waiting a while
Nothings been updated on pinside or pinballmap for a long while.
Breezy point resort did have some pins last summer in their gameroom, but I heard they might be getting rid of them. Still, worth calling to check, as my information is from a few months ago and might be old.
Basically though, central MN is a wasteland of routed pins. Would like to see that change someday, and have even contacted a couple bar owners myself about routing a pin or two. But breaking in seems to be tough. Midwest Coin Concepts has a lock on the vending/claw-games/pool/darts for most of central MN it seems and they stopped routing pins in this area over a decade ago. One of the owners is a friend of mine and he said for their business it's just too much labor for too little return. A claw game makes 10 times with almost no effort. I've even offered to help service/clean/collect, but haven't gotten anywhere with that. I'm hoping to expand my requests personally to a few more bar owners this summer and see if I can get any takers. Start in St. Cloud area first and go from there.
