Pinball

Start saving those quarters. Michigan's premier pinball expo and gameroom show was postponed in 2020, but is on the calendar for 2021 in Kalamazoo.

Gobles' Klassic Arcade is expanding again, adding a third location in Paw Paw for classic video games, pinball, pop and slot car racing.

Go ahead and use those quarters for laundry or something. Originally postponed until October, Pinball at the Zoo has been officially canceled for 2020.

New rules mean new ideas. One Well Brewing has figured out how to bring people together (but not too close) over their favorite games.

Klassic Arcade 2.0 opened in 2017, now the Gobles business is looking for more space for its vintage arcade and pinball games, remote control and slot car racing tracks.

The next time you are heading East on I-94, make a stop in Jackson to play retro video games, classic and new pinball machines at Tilted Arcade Bar.

Championships are not open to the public and therefore the location is super secret. But if you want to put your mad flipping skills to the test, check out One Well Brewing, Revel and Roll, or Beer Exchange.

There exists an International Flipper Pinball Association, and they're waiting with bated breath to see who wins the responsibility of representing Michigan at their Nationals tournament in Las Vegas. 16 pinball fanatics from The Mitten are set to compete in the 5th annual State Championship Series on January 20th. According to Chris Tabaka, the tournament director, the State Championship will take place "at a private facility just north of Kalamazoo."
