All of the pin games were impeccable and 100 percent functional, with the exception of <em>Godzilla<\/em>, which was turned off, and American Pinball&#8217;s <em>Hot Wheels<\/em>, which shut down due to a phantom &#8216;lost ball&#8217; while I (of course) had a stellar score going.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/eastside-bowl-nashville\/28-eastside-bowl-nashville.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/eastside-bowl-nashville\/28-eastside-bowl-nashville-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/eastside-bowl-nashville\/28-eastside-bowl-nashville-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/eastside-bowl-nashville\/28-eastside-bowl-nashville-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/eastside-bowl-nashville\/28-eastside-bowl-nashville-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/eastside-bowl-nashville\/28-eastside-bowl-nashville-850x638.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/www.pinballnews.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/eastside-bowl-nashville\/28-eastside-bowl-nashville.jpeg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>More of the pinballs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All pin-games are a dollar per credit, and free game and match thresholds seemed to be reasonably easy to achieve.
