Imagine a sports bar… but just for situation monitoring — live X feeds, flight radar, Bloomberg terminals, and Polymarket screens.

A gambling pinball machine could actually be pretty cool. Pinball old heads might not like it but I would sure like it a lot better than the slot machine slop that is now at most gas stations and dive bar in the midwest.

Upper midwest already had their gaming shit like keno and the pull tab thing which will always be better then losing all your money to the flashing lights money taker machine.

A gambling pinball machine would run into all kinds of weird old timey laws, because pinball machines were invented in the first place to avoid gambling laws

That’s what I thought at first but I couldn’t find anything like that. But tbf I’m no legal expert and I only looked kinda hard.

I think paying out cash prices is illegal in Japan as well. They just have conveniently located stores that buy and sell metal balls.
