Default Pinball Machines in TV?

Are there any public places in The Villages area to play pinball? Rec centers, bars, restaurants, other?

The Saluki rec center is the only rec center that has a pinball machine. It is free to use.

The Lake Square Mall in Leesburg has a huge arcade with every game you can imagine, including pinball machines.

Went there last weekend and the machine was broken. The front desk said it breaks down frequently and does not know when it will be repaired.

Does the Facebook page give locations of pinball machines in and around The Viilages?

Unless they changed it recently, the pinball machine at Saluki is not free, which is kind of mind-boggling. I'm hoping they came to their senses.

The Saluki rec center does have a pinball machine, and it is currently in working order. There is no charge to use it.
