    Quoted from JayDee:

    I’ve personally seen it first hand. Every time my kid has his hockey buddies over they are glued to the pins. They’re 14-15 yr olds. Forget the Xbox, pool table, dart board etc. It’s nonstop pinball and I also get bitched out by some of the dads cause their kid doesn’t stop begging for them to get their own pins. It’s actually quite satisfying seeing the interest.

    I did notice last time I played at my local pinball place two weeks ago that I was actually the old guy in the room at 48, everyone else was younger which was pretty cool. Likewise at the Pinball Museum in Banning it was all ages and genders in there, also pretty cool. I figure it's biggest barrier to entry is that it can be really intimidating to new folk, but once you get past that you can get quickly hooked.

    Quoted from JayDee:

    And I notice the kids aren’t just haphazardly knocking the ball around. They are genuinely trying to learn the rules and perfect their game. It’s fun watching these kids playing four player games and the trash talking that occurs. The competition gets heated up real fast at my house and it’s awesome

    Yeah definitely! Last time I played on location there were some younger folk there that had me join their game and they were pretty good at it. One of the ladies was showing me the features of various games which was cool, and she enjoyed taking selfies on one of the JJP games. I just thought it was neat that it's not just an old guy thing anymore.

    On a similar note, this video came up in my Youtube feed today which I thought some may enjoy:

    When they go through the list of top players you can see that they aren't all Munsters era people, it's a mix of ages.
