lmk if anyone has suggestions for the remaining games to be used in the classics or OPEN divisions.
just curious:)

OPEN= must be dmd or alphanumeric

classics- must be 6 or 7 digit display. unless someone has an e.m. we can use that wont have issues.
 
we are still looking for more games for people to bring for the event to have setup for the public to play.
remember, games are on coin drop. you get to keep 50% of the coin intake.
most anything coin operated. pinball, video, other..
thx
 
still looking for machines for people to bring. pinball or video..
you keep half the coin drop
pm me
 
*Bonus Prize

If you win the OPEN division and CLASSICS division, you win a freshly shopped pinball pinball machine on top of the cash.
 
PLEASE NOTE:
If you want to bring games for free play, instead of coin drop, thats ok as well.
Asking game owners top take the time and expenses involved in packing up and transporting games to a venue for FREE is alot to ask In my opinion.

The coin drop is just to give people an incentive to bring games for their time and effort (which is huge), as game owners keep 50% of coin drop, other 50% goes to the actual location itself....to help pay bills the event creates.

either way is fine thow. free play or coin play, its up to each game owner.
we will surely help unload and setup anything you bring as well as take down.

REMEMBER: there is no admission fee to enter the venue for anyone.
 
AJR and Elvira showing off 2 of the **special** prizes for pinwars!
