This the longest most detailed tour EVER of the awesome Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, NV USA founded by Tim Arnold. In this video we will review and literally check out EVERY SINGLE pinball machine! From the early EM and Woodrail pins by Gottlieb, Bally, Williams, and Chicago Coin to the 90s era DMD Bally and Williams machines all the way up to the new Stern and Jersey Jack Pinball machines. This place is amazing and has nearly every pin ever made under one roof! Another John’s Arcade on the Road!

How could you say that about theater of magic 🙁 it hurt a little, i used to play that game growing up…
I cannot go there because it would make me crazy. When I die, I don’t want to go to paradise, I want to go there.
Elton john is the pinball wizard in TOMMY……..
I used to have the helicopter toy aswell
Diner is my favorite.
That Impact Pinball was from 1975 and manufactured by Interflip S.A.
13:44 50 cent tag stolen from a Stern pinball machine.
The hall of fame wasn’t all that great. Been there. The woman was rude and unprofessional. She also looked she just left a all nite party. Dirty..dirty place too
dig dug’s now in there….
Have you ever been to Pinball Perfection in Pittsburgh Pa?
Many of those 60’s and 70’s games are very challenging. They might not have all the extras the modern machines have, but most of the great pinball players broke their cherries on these machines
hello mate the impacto table is a spanish table it was also released in the usa with a different top and the name "impact". the company are still on the go and are still sort of in the same sphere but more gambling machine focused now http://www.rfranco.com/en/landing#
The guy 44:40 is really excited he beat that kid lol
Oh wow, I remember playing the bulldozer game when I was a kid
In Point Pleasant NJ at Jenkinson arcade on the boardwalk. That brought back memories. So cool.
Yes and I also had a spiderman helicopter like that also. My favorite toy.
spain was actually quite a big country for pinball, producing a lot of their own machines. i live in spain and these do pop up semi regularly online for sale here are some but there are quite a lot more http://www.recreativas.org/empresas/recreativos%20franco-302/flyers-pinball/
There’s a Rollercoaster Tycoon pinball machine? Do you know how many years I spent playing RCT?
Hope nobody saw me looking into the pervert machine. I was only curious.
I didn’t see a gottleib gold wings pinball
I really want to go there. I love pinball so much.
I was really excited about this place *UNTIL* I heard it’s quarters only.. 75 cents for three balls is absurd. That’s not conducive to a hall of fame/museum atmosphere where people want to try many games..
This is the first time I’ve seen one of your videos! I’m going to the PHOF in December. I was impressed by the pinball and your commentary. I know I’m going to have fun there. However, i think I was more impressed by your basement arcade! ALL those games were from the time I used to frequent arecades, when Westworld was a popular arcade chain. I wish those wete at the PHOF. Can I come to your basement and spend my money there too? lol Well, keep up the good work.
awsome vid man,you should do more and play some and film great stuff.
and star trek had an lcd
I had a great time at the Pinball Hall Of Fame in Las Vegas too. It really brought back some great memories as well. Take care now.
Oh man, what a place! I’d fly out to Las Vagas and just spend the whole week in here! I’d probably lose more money than if I spent that time in a casino too 😀
38:14 How dare you!!! The movie was great!!!
…I’ll let you have the Johnny Mnemonic one though… that movie sucked. 😀
Awesome tour, cheers! I’ve got a friend currently on holiday (from UK) in Vegas, and I just messaged her about this place. I’m not sure if its not on her checklist of "things to do whilst in Vegas"… but man, I think I could spend the entire vacation at this magical place.
John isnt very observant…There were 4 games left on the Centigrade 37..
I played that multi leval pinball last year its fun. Im blown away we both played it thats pretty kool. It being so rare its getting thanking who els has played it. Also when i was a kid there was a brokent abracadabra pinball in the back yard. I love youer videos and passion. God bless you. Jerry.
Thanks for the virtual tour to the museum. Wish it was even more longer. ☺️ Subbed ya man.
Awesome video John.
42:48 Night Rider was the first pinball machine I ever played as a kid back in the mid 70’s. I totally got addicted after that.

I know it’s been awhile lol, but curious to what he said? Did he not want to let you film inside? Some places are so sketch about that!
I spent a whole day there. It was worth the trip to Las Vegas on its own. I spent hours on the Circus pinball it was so fun to play. Fantastic place to visit
Tim Arnold is actually selling his pinball business atm, if im not mistaken, also, the controversy around that text on the knife might be beacuse it says "Meine Ehre heisst treue" which was the motto of the SS and also used on SS parade knives during the war.
happy thanksgiving mr.john
The best place to go in Vegas for pinball fans. Also visit the modded pins at the rollercoaster entrance in New York, New York casino.
Awesome video John ! So many of these classic pinball has super white led, they could at least use warm white led..
I could play that Line Drive for hours……I love those games. I bet I could get one cheap. They are so Fun!!!!
We visited the Pinball Hall of Fame in May / 2017 and we really liked it because it brings the nostalgia of the arcades of the 80s. On my return to Vegas in Oct / 2019 I put Pinball back on the script.
I exchanged 20 dollars in 25c coins (the machines only accept 25c coins and the games vary from 0.50 to 2 dollars). We took some pictures to remember the visit and also publicize the Hall of Fame for free on our travel blog to the United States.
When I was going to play at the Transformers Pinball, an older employee (maybe even the owner) came all arrogant and aggressive saying he couldn’t shoot or take pictures. He said with total rudeness that the place had three rules (none of them were written at the entrance, next to the machine for exchanging banknotes for coins): one of them is that it was forbidden to take photos because the machines were his property and the photos could not go for internet. He threatened us saying that if we took more pictures or stayed in the establishment without playing, he would call the police. I also said that parking is not "free" and only for customers. A player who was at our side was also startled by such ignorance from the attendant.
If you didn’t want us to take pictures, you could politely ask that there would be no problem and also install notices on the door and on the machines prohibiting photos.
With the arrogance lost client, we will not recommend Pinball to anyone and report the terrible treatment on our blog.
With this treatment to customers it is explained why in 2 and a half years the place is the same and until today it has not been to the strip.
A third of the machines stopped and in the middle of Colombo’s holiday had almost no one in the place.
We didn’t want to argue, we got in the car and went to play at Circus Circus’ Midway that the only rule was to have fun.
We visited in early October on a whim, just to get away from what we had experienced at Mandalay Bay a couple of days prior, and absolutely loved this place. We did a pretty good job feeding the bill changer.
We are already wanting to visit Las Vegas again and will sure stop by and play more games. We wish the Pinball Hall of Fame much success.
hoy don’t have vídeos of Phantom of te opera,Batman 1 and Star Trek, every DATA EAST
that basketball game was rebuilt on the TV show American Restoration
NO… G O R G A R !
Fantastic tour. I was stuck in Las Vegas for 10 days once and would have enjoyed seeing this. It was long before it was built. I liked the comments about each game… this one is great… this one is awful… etc. Theatre of Magic… hmm… overrated… probably… Almost everyone I have over wants to play that thing. Voltaire is better but the creepy clown factor is a little there with Voltaire. Indy is the way to go… and Elvira. Thanks for the extra long video. I loved it.!!!
Really enjoyed this, wish there was one in Australia.
is there an Mr. Do also? Had funny times in my youth with it…:-)
Nice video! I was in the PBHOF shortly after it first opened in an old strip mall on Tropicana… a lot less games than it has now, but I saw few in there I played. Nice to see the Wizard, Capt. Fantastic and KISS machines working – they were "in progress" when I was there.One machine that they DID have then (which would be about… oh, 10 years ago?) was one called PUNK… i remember it because it had an extra wide body (think it was a Gottlieb, but not sure…).
Awesome! I played a ton of the older machines. Heading to LV in march and will tour this place thanks!!!!
