Exactly that - Arcades, bars, cruise-ships (that'd make it interesting huh?)...how much quid have you spent in one pin-frenzied swoop?
Me? I haven't been in the hobby to long. I think the most I've spent is around $10.00
(Topic ID: 11401)
20 bucks here also. I'm sure I've spent more in arcades when I was younger, but not just on pinball.
$250 plus hotel and 10 hour drive...........pinball expo 
But I know what you mean, about $15, I always buy value, and alternate buy with friends.
I use to fly through the tokens back in the day! Remember the token containers you hung around your neck 
)
Now days only one place local that has pins and a friend services them and throws me free tokens all the time...hardly ever play a pin in the wild. Would if i could just no where to play anymore!
Quoted from Pinballer22:in the wild.
Love it.
Every few months I find myself putting another $50 on a new gameworks card. It'd be cheaper if I didn't keep losing them.
I get paid to play. Who wouldn't pay to see a gorilla at a machine?
About $15 is the most I think? That was in Florida at a place with 6 machines...and I really sucked then. Short game times 
Maybe 15.00 (since I've been an adult that is.) Replays usually save me money but I was playing Tron & Rolling Stones for $1 a credit a couple months ago. Funny, a game for $1 when you get a replay it actually feels like you're accomplishing something!
A few weeks ago, I spent $40.00 total at Flippers; $30.00 for me on the pins( At least 1/2 of that on MM and BBB), and $10.00 on my daughter playing the redemtion games. Evened out tho, my wife won a fake IPOD nano, and my kid won like 3,000 tickets.
But back in the day in Myrtle Beach, who knows how much we bilked my dad out of! "Just one more game!" Wow, I say that now, but its slightly changed to "baby" or "sweetie" and she rolls her eyes!!
Quoted from Rascal_H:Joining the $20 club. Pretty much spend that every other weekend at the arcade (Pinball Wizard). Usually takes a few hours to spend that.
Spent 6 hours and 40 bucks there a few weeks ago. And 20 dollars actually gets you 25 worth of tokens I believe.
$10 at Tennessee's last arcade. Gets me more than enough pinball action. The more I play, the better I get, and that means more extra balls and replays!

Hey,
I'd guess $20-$30. Seems to be what I roll through every time I go to SS Billiards between myself and the girlfriend. The funny part about that is we walk in there, and Lloyd has all these great pins to play. The girlfriend, after playing a bunch of machines, decides that her favorites are Big Bang Bar and Medieval Madness. Couldn't have been something like the Hook sitting there for twelve or thirteen hundred dollars...

Most I ever spent in one trip to the arcade was $40.
Most I ever spent in one day on pinball machines was buying a World Cup Soccer '94, Attack From Mars, and Spider-Man. Yes, all three in one day. I'll withhold how much they set me back in case my wife stumbles in here...
About $20 between me and the wife every time we stop in at SS, and then another $20 at Mortimer's. Back when I was about 14 me and my buddy would take my paper route collections and cash the checks at the corner gas station that at any one time had an TAF, IJ, Mousin' Around, and probably a couple others. I know one day between soda, snacks, and TAF, we spent 60 bucks. Oh well good times. Around here now the only two machines I know of on location are at the casino 60 miles away so between gas, hotel, and what I might loose at the tables probably averages out to 10 bucks a game even though I spent 2 hours playing TAF for 50 cents. Gotta do what you gotta do for some ball in these parts.
