No wonder we dont get a lot of new people playing pinball when a game is $1.50 for 3 balls, what a rip off
well i suppose the operators need to make the pin pay for it self.
and if they pay $7k for a pin that means there has to be 4667 games played on it before they break even (thats if they never have to buy parts for it)
then there is the power it uses and the rent for the premises that they have it in.
no wonder there aren't many pins on site nowadays.
