The experience

Your machine, waiting for you

Everyone who plays seriously has a machine — the one that feels right, the one that's been good to them. Reserved sessions mean it's held under your name, warmed up and loaded before you walk in.

Slots run in two-hour blocks across peak windows. Your card arrives pre-loaded with your usual ball credit, a drink of choice is waiting at the seat, and the machine is taken off rotation five minutes before your slot.

What makes it different

What a reservation gets you

Your exact machine

Not 'a machine like it' — the specific unit, held by number, off rotation from five minutes before your slot.

Pre-loaded credit

Your usual ball credit is loaded before you arrive. Sit down, turn the dial, done.

Drink on arrival

Coffee, highball or the izakaya's seasonal special — your preference is noted from the first booking.

Recurring slots

Weekly standing reservations available — same machine, same time, held until you say otherwise.

About this service

Ninety-six of the 240 units are reservable — all towers and premium rows plus most of the classic fleet. Tournament-stage machines are reserved for the Thursday bracket.

There's a five-minute grace window, and a quick call to reception buys you another ten. After that the slot releases — though we hold your credit for the rebooked time.

Yes — one complimentary reserved slot per month is included in the Platinum tier. Additional slots bill at the standard rate with your 15% tier discount.

Adjoining machines can be booked together — two slots, two seats, side by side. Popular with ladder partners drilling for Thursday nights.
