In the early 1990s, Los Angeles' area Commerce Casino was a hot bed of activity. At the time, the casino was just a card room where low and high stakes poker was played. Off to a side room, the last dying breath of high-stakes Backgammon was still being played, and mostly by some of the top players in the world including "Action" Dan Harrington.   The casino was very popular and a lot of top players would play there when they were visiting the LA area. This caused a problem - lines for games, especially Poker, would get too long and players would get impatient.  The owner of the casino, a man I've never met, came up with a brilliant idea: install several pinball machines to keep the waiting list happy.
