Pinball games have been a favorite entertainment machine since its introduction in 1931. “Pinball” came from the steel silver ball traveling across wooden pins. Since, pinball has inspired an entire industry and a pop culture phenomenon.
To buy a new pinball machine is an investment. Whether for your commercial arcade, bar or restaurant – or your home game room, a pinball game comes in various levels from lots of manufacturers at a variety of costs. The final cost is dependent on the game title itself, shipping, delivery, sales tax and payment acceptance system. Payment systems include the basic coin acceptors to the newest digital payment acceptance. GAD can help you determine the best payment system for your environment.
