Gavin,

puppies, just another really stupid irrelevant silly little comment. You just keep doing it. U dont get the message, u think people want to read your antagonistic posts, no they want to read Avengers, so yes to the flyers, and no to your rubbish.

An agenda, yeh right. The agenda is supposed to be fun and informative pinball posts, not the spanish inquisition cause u want to put me down on every post.  

Oh yes, and since u know everything, when u swipe the card, it erases any credits.  #*# thats why the place makes soo much money during the holidays cause credits from someone elses card dont continue over.

Do yaself and me a favour, stop the backstabbing since u obviously have a issue, and dont address me or my posts. Are u going to move on, or just keep the backstabbing going.

This is completely out of line. As I've said dozens of times, "play the ball, not the man". The "ball" is the claim that 800 - 1200 games can be played in 15 hours. Note that the thread has deviated due to this error.

This is another example of a thread that goes off the rails due to "sensational" comments. What needs to be understood, that it is mathematically IMPOSSIBLE for 1200 plays on a modern pinball machines over the course of 15 hours. I've given the maths, and if someone wants to prove the maths wrong - then I'd like to see how it is wrong. There are youtube vids of Avenger onsite and you can judge for yourself.
Audit settings are based on COMPLETED games. In other words the words "Game Over" is displayed. It has NEVER counted "credits" or "Card Swipes" - these are games "to be played". I cannot see a kid waiting in the massively long line to play Avengers - and even if a child was 4th in line, he would only have to wait just over three minutes for all in front of him to finish their games. Then the kid swipes his card 10 times and then runs off ?? They are not 10 games. They are 10 credits - yet to be played. So the next 10 people in line HAVE to play those games for the audit data to count the games as "played games".

Even if you start a game on a modern stern and not flip a flipper - just let the ball drain 3 times - how long would that take ? Is this happening 800-1200 times a day ? Bottom line - It is impossible.

Lets say it IS possible, and as the claim suggested - it has played 800-1200 games for 6-8 weeks. Now if I was owner or operator, I would have sen this in the second week and done something about it. I would have put a SECOND Avengers on site - this was the norm during the days of arcades. That didn't happen.

There is a problem with that machine. That's the only logical explanation.
