[QUOTE="Extork, post: 146010, member: 2241"] It's kind of a lose lose situation. One would think that the machines are there to PLAY and not just for looks. The only way to avoid it is to take my business elsewhere (if it becomes a big problem). (Which, I'm guessing it'll happen again) since that was only my 3rd or 4rth time playing there. It's whatever ZA.. After reading through your last post about mechanics/what makes a good table, I've realized that the 2 tables there aren't worth the hassle. I love how they play (the rule sets) but they are just so beat to hell. For example, on the Sopranos, if the ball is floating at all around the drain, it will do an 'unnatural' curve to the right. So the only way to counteract that is to anticipate it. But that shouldn't be necessary. The left flipper has gotten stuck in the 'up' position a couple of times. On the Big Buck pro, I've noticed a buzzing noise when I hold down the left flipper. Those things are just about to fall apart. Long story short, it's time to find a new location. But like I said, I love the rules on the Sopranos. There's so many different options for strategy. I'm not that great at pinball, but what I've been doing is clearing out the ramps and loops for the envelopes right off the bat, then go for the safe, and then multiball... Repeat. Everyone's got there own way tho. That's what I love about pinball. Also I've tried only going for the safe, that might be smarter [/QUOTE]
