Got back from skiing today and ended up playing quite a bit of pinball as well.
Beach Hut Deli, Reno: MM, TOTAN, ToM
The Medieval Madness was NICE. Seriously, the best routed MM I've ever seen. It was 100%, but all games were in excellent shape. Totan had a minor issue, can't remember what... The Op was Tip Top Amusements for whoever cares.
I couldn't make anything happen on MM but I GC'd TOTAN and ToM and left three credits on each.
Boomtown: TSPP and RFM. TSPP was on free play and beat to hell.
Harrahs: LotR and PotC. Both in really nice shape. Mostly played Pirates. Only problem I found was I got Destroy the Ring and shot all the lit shots then went for the ring but the ball would not stick no matter what. I don't really know Lords all that well so maybe I was doing something wrong. Shot that sucker like 10 times and finished around 70M.
Cue and Cushion: T3. Billiard Hall a few blocks off the strip. It was in decent shape. Flippers went too high so you could backhand the orbits. Shooting anything else was drain city. I got 89M for 4th then had enough.
Pierinos Pizza: Sopranos and T3, one late 70s SS (off) and one more. Little story here. Cue and Cushion was out of quarters and I was flirting with the bartender so I offered to go get her some from the coin wash across the street. The coin wash was out too! So I went to the super market but the guy with the keys was at dinner! I finally ended up at the Pizzeria. Before I noticed they had several games in the back, I asked him to give me $20 in quarters. He said he couldn't, so I ad-libbed that I worked at Cue and Cushion and could he help us out? To that he agreed. When he was counting the quarters I looked around a bit and saw all the games. Doh! I felt like I couldn't go right back after that little lie, and that was my last night in town. Oh well!
Anyway, I wasn't looking too hard and I found some nice places to play so I think if you visit Reno you have options for your pin fix.

On a related note, no pins at the "mega casino" consisting of El Dorado, Silver Legacy and Circus Circus. Only CC had an arcade but no pinball.
Also on a related note, there is someone in the area with many of the GCs with the initials ZOE. I think I could have got Pirates if I remembered the bug correctly but oh well. I was hoping to run into him but no such luck.
