Have you mentioned to the bowling alley that the pinball machine needs servicing, and if it worked better, you'd probably spend more money on it? You could even mention that if you *were* able to spend more time and/or money on the pinball machine, you may possibly get drinks or snacks from them - even if you really won't, it helps to lay it on a bit thick to encourage them to get it fixed.
