Machines in the State College Area

In addition to playing the pins at Axemann Brewery, the best way to become a better tournament player is to drop quarters into "routed" machines on location, master a title to the point where your skills and reflexes transfer to other titles, and practice, practice, practice! To that end, in alphabetical order, below is a list of routed pins in the State College area eager to feast on your quarters. There are a few other routed pins in the area, but these machines are the ones that are maintained the best.
