Pinball on location, Down Under style
« on: October 31, 2014, 05:52:50 AM »
Morning all.

At Expo I met Norbert Snicer, and he talked me through what it's taken him to get Pinball HQ up and running in Coogee Bay. If you're interested there's a feature about it here:

Sorry about the Vegemite picture, but you have to put some national stereotyping into a piece like this... 

Cheers,

The luck that Norbet has is that the Coogee Hotel is not taking any income from the pins rather makes its money from the drinks players buy or the food they buy. Not many places are going to be that supportive as most players do a 50/50 deal.

Hats off to Norbert as he is a really nice guy and very passionate about pinball and siting them.

Brilliant article. Thank you.

Norbert's points are spot on about attracting the next generation and getting pins back on site where the public can access them, rather than hidden away in gamesrooms.

His eyesight may be failing (by his own admission), but clearly the man is a long term visionary.

Articles that focus on pinball's "big picture" are always appreciated.  ^^^
