Pin Etiquette 101
Keep it Clean, Don't be Mean, & Respect the Machine(:
It's that easy, but we'd just like to help anyone that's new to "the sport" or might have fond memories of slapping around their dad's game as a youth.
How to Act around Pins
Below are the rules that have been passed down from our Pinfathers and sanctioned by the Grand Assembly of The Silver Ball. The Silver Rule is to Have Fun!
1). Dont Put Anything on the Glass, this includes Drinks, Hands/fingers, Coats, Purses, Keys... = Anything. Use the Drink Holder that's installed on the leg of every machine (if you have a drink of course...and you should support your local establishment & bartender!:)
2). Don't Shake, Jerk, Jolt, Lift or Abuse the machines in any way. These are all very expensive and well maintained machines that deserve your love and respect.
3) If a Ball gets Stuck, if you see a Screw or Nut or a Broken Plastic or any Foreign Object on the Playfield that should Not be there, Please Stop Playing & Notify the Bar Manager where you are and they can take appropriate action.
Bring $1's or Quarters
Most Pubs Aren't ATMs (:
It's always helpful to bring some one dollar bills you've collected over the week, or empty out the quarters from your car or kitchen drawer and come prepared!(:
Each Pinball Machine has a Dollar Bill Acceptor mounted on the front lower left side and it accepts 1's and 5's. You also can of course use quarters, but No other coins/tokens.
Pro Tips
Maximize Your Plays!
Its $1 per play, However, if you put $2 in at once you get 3 plays! So if you know you're going to put in more than one play on a machine it pays off to go ahead and put $2 in.
Each machine has an Auto Replay system with 3 Replay levels. So depending upon the recent scores on that machine the Replay levels will adjust. The games display will often show the Replay levels (scores) to achieve in order to get a Free Credit. So look for the Replay score you need to beat and use that as goal to achive and gain a Free Credit to play again!
