If intentionally charging, I would say yes.
If there were no credits and you put quarters in to resolve the issue rather than ask the clerk to put them on for you, then it's the same as some of the games at Replay that do not have free play modes and need to occasionally be "loaded up".
It was free when we stopped by after the last meetup too. Wonder which channel the pinball room is on?
Maybe the camera is live streaming to an obscure fetish website where watching people play pinball at all hours is a financially rewarding venture!
Lol, your off the chain King Jelly!
