OK, Here is the current list thanks to some emails I recieved of places to go for pinball. please keep in mind that the condition of almost all of these pinball's have not been confirmed unless stated. Oddly enough I have found that NO bowling alleys in Sacramento have a single Pinball game.
Please keep the emails coming in!!
Scandia Fun Center (I-80 & Madison)
1. World Cup Soccer (flippers a little weak)
2. Getaway (game needs steeper angle, top flipper weak,)
3. Go Fers (played good)
4. Nascar (fast flippers & bumpers, ball sometimes gets stuck)
5. Pirates of the Caribbean (seemed ok, kinda slow)
* Gateway & pirates were the cleanest playfields, the other 3 were pretty beat up.
Steves Pizza, Howe Ave
1. South Park
Sharkys Pool Hall
1. Monopoly
Jointed Cue Billiards, Fruitridge road

Looking for places to play pinball in Sacramento
Hello Pinball Fans,
I am creating this blog in hopes that other pinball players around Sacramento will report on where they play pinball, what pinball games are at that location and the state of the pinball's themselves (right flipper sticky, tilt set to off, etc.). I think there are some great pinball's to play out there, (Circus Voltare, Adams Family, Twilight Zone, Spider Man, older classics), everyone has there favorites, but the problem I and others face is, where can I go to play that specific pinball or pinball in general. When I think of where to go to play these, I think of the basics like my local bowling alley, Scandia or Golfland Sunsplash and while these are good places to find pins, they usually only have a few and sometimes they are not playable. What I really want to find out is where the local spots are, like pizza parlors, 7-11's, bars, Laundromats, or any place you know of with a pin. If you email me at pinballman@comcast.net with any information, (location, name of pin, any issues, pictures etc.) on the pinball games you play, I will post them, and then we will have a decent list on where to go to play your favorite pinball.
Thanks for reading and start sending in that info.
