I started playing pinball at about 5 years old in 1960, the machine had flippers! I was given a machine for free and learn to be quite good! We never gambled on pinball but it was a competitive game! On one machine in particular, nobody could beat me! Long Live pinball! Beats video games any day of the week!!

[@theCuriousNewYorker]

then you're a legend in the space. Were you in NYC during the ban?

Appreciate you!! Working on a longer video right now. Can’t wait to release it in a few weeks

Did I miss something? Did pinball have payouts? What was the gambling aspect?

[@theCuriousNewYorker]

you'd have to pay to play. and since it wasn't a deemed a "skilled" game, they thought you were just ripping off kids who could get addicted to watching how the ball drops / where it goes.

[@NightmareRex6]

i wonder how meany machines are now permantly lost and nolonger around becuase that madness?

[@theCuriousNewYorker]
