How many games do you play per week ?
« on: February 13, 2016, 05:31:04 AM »
How many games of pinball would you play per week on average ?

What's your usual pattern of playing pinball ?

I am expecting a wide bunch of answers.

Not enough due to work commitments, but on as little as 10 and as much as 200 per week or in time I try for at least 30 min a day.

Not nearly enough.. less than half a dozen games per week  !@)

Much as i hate to admit, working on them every day, there are times when i don't even want to look at a pin let alone play one.

My pins get the most use when i have friends over, or the odd pin meet with the local pinball crew  *%*

I would probably play 10 to 30 a week approx. on average.
Does vary a lot though. Nothing to go to the shed, with beer & knock out 40 games straight. *%*

Are u 3 ball gamers or five ball gamers if u can repost that cause it adds or decreases game time & wear by 40 percent etc.

On average one game on each of my pins per week, If I am lucky I will get two games on each in a week. I have 6 machines.

All of my games are on 3 ball.

3 ball on all, game times vary from forever to a minute or two especially on the old ss games. I know just at Cursed meet, I played at least 30 games on tron and several on all except for shadow and tz. Sorry Michael for over indulging but you must take some responsibility for having such a great line up and making them damn hard to play.  ^^^

Yes, yes its all my fault!

They were there to be played mate, I was shocked as I don't think a single name was put on any of my machines and I suck! Seems my games were out to kick ass that night......

Did not realise you played that many on Tron though, interested to hear your thoughts on it. I assume you got at least one good game out of 30!  #@#

had two by memory that surpassed the extra ball reward but alas not good enough for a high score. I think 80-90mil was my best

:( with work and family commitments I barely get to play 10 mins per week :(

unfortunately +1.

I have a couple more game's I hope to take ownership on in the coming months. There was an insurance add around a while ago and I quote, "the more toys you have the less time you have to use them...."
