I love the history behind this, and I've read about it before because I love coin pushers and claw machines. :D I'm kind of addicted to both so thank Bob I'm not around either often... 0_o...
When I was a kid my Dad would give me a nickel to pay pinball at the fish fry place we ate at on Friday nights. A bit later I played the illegal gambling machines that had no flippers. When I worked for the USFS in Washington they had legal machines with flippers and ability to increase odds and pay outs. Fun stuff. The Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas is on my bucket list.
