About Open Coin Door Podcast

Hosted by Tim Owens, owner of Reclaim Arcade, and joined by Collins Wetzel, the Open Coin Door Podcast takes you behind the scenes of running a retro arcade in Fredericksburg, Virginia. From discussions of how certain games are found and selected, challenges that integrating food and beverage can bring, to how we plan and execute events, this podcast peels back the curtain and provides insight into the world of operating such a unique entertainment venue.

019 - Retro PCs and Road Trips

It's the May edition of Open Coin Door and we've been everywhere — Vegas, Florida, Pennsylvania, and somehow back alive. This episode, we break down our wild adventure streaming the pinball tournament at PinFest in Allentown: a buy-sell-trade pinball festival where the peanut guy moved, the internet barely existed, and one of us ended up in a maintenance closet on the phone with a stranger trying to save the stream. We also go deep on Scorbit — the platform quietly connecting old pinball machines to the internet — including live tournaments with real cash jackpots, how NFC login actually works (and where it doesn't), and why Jersey Jack is still the villain of this story. Plus: a fully functional Windows 98 PC with flying toasters is now in the building, shoutout to Branden.

018 - When New Pinball Breaks (and Why We Still Love It)

In this episode of the Open Coin Door podcast, we’re catching up on a wild few weeks at the arcade, from launching Pokémon Pinball (and dealing with immediate game-breaking issues) to diving deep into the evolving world of pinball tech and player experiences. We talk about: • The highs and frustrations of new pinball releases (and support… or lack of it) • Why Pokémon is dominating play counts despite the hiccups • The future of connected pinball with Scorbit and real-money tournaments • A surprising deep dive into 3D printing and how it’s changing repairs, customization, and even trophies • Behind-the-scenes of major events like Fools Fest and what it takes to run them smoothly • Plus upcoming tournaments, arcade events, and what’s next for Reclaim Arcade It’s a mix of arcade ownership realities, pinball nerd talk, and some big ideas about where this industry is headed.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
