Pinball is for Adults ONLY!
Appearantly pinball is for adults only, at least in Nashville Tennessee where it is a crime to allow anyone under the age of 18 to play with a pinball machine.
11.28.060 Operation of pinball machines.
Â
A. It is unlawful for any person having custody or charge of any pinball machine where the same may be operated to permit any minor under the age of eighteen years to play, operate or use any such machine or to loiter about the same.
B. For the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this section, the burden of proof shall be upon any person having control or custody of such machine to establish the age of minors using such machine, and for this purpose the possession of a selective service registration card shall be prima facie evidence of the age of such minor.
C. For the purpose of this section, a “pinball machine” shall be defined as a coin-operated gaming device as defined in Title 26, Section 2462, United States Code Annotated. All such gaming devices shall be separated from other coin-operated devices by a partition to insure minors are not allowed nearer than ten feet to the gaming devices. Further, all such machines, as defined herein, shall have a sign placed on the upper right-hand corner of said machine, no less than five inches by eight inches in size, stating that said machine can not be operated by a person under eighteen years of age. For the purpose of this subsection, a “partition” shall be defined as a solid nontransparent wall or similar structure designed to prevent persons from entering or exiting, except through a door.

“A selective service registration card.”
So women couldn’t play pinball either because you’d have to naturally assume they’re underage? >_>
This is no longer a law but kids arent allowed on some of them still like i know some places in Tennessee they have signs on them that say 16 or older use only so there yall have it
not all poin ball machines require coins, like the ones u can get 4 home use
That law was repealed years ago. Someone needs to update this website.
That is soooooo unfair i hate laws
