so i'm watching my local long island news 12 when a story comes on about the retro arcade museum in beacon ny is being threatened by local officials to ban pinball machines. are the owners members here? and if so how did this start? i know pinball was illeagal in new york until the 70's due to the thought that they were considered gambling machines, until a jury proved otherwise (by actually playing a pinball game in the courtroom proving that it was a game of skill, not chance) the report said that beacon officials base the potential ban on pinballs ties to organized crime! any info or feedback would by appriciated!
