3 Strike Tournament!

Join us for a night of pinball in the popular Strikes format!

We will play rounds in groups of 3 or 4 players with a strike being given to the last place finisher in the group (as well as 3rd place in a 4 player group).

Once a player reaches 3 strikes, they will be eliminated. Rounds will continue until one player remains.

If there is a tie for 3rd place, a one game playoff will be completed on a random machine with random player order.

Did you know that today is National Pinball Day?

National Pinball Day is celebrated annually on August 1st, honoring the birthday of pinball legend Roger Sharpe and commemorating the game's rich history and cultural comeback.

Sharpe's historic 1976 "called shot" testimony helped overturn New York City's long-standing ban on pinball and proved that it is a game of skill rather than a game of chance tied to gambling.

Today is a great day to watch the movie, “Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game” based on that historic event.

Happy National Pinball Day everyone and happy birthday Roger Sharpe 🎂!

Now get out there and play some pinball today. 😊
