He said the Hobbit game was “when Stern was trying to see how big of a screen they can put on it”. That game was made by Jersey Jack of course and that company is complete trash. Stern is amazing and I don’t want people to think games like Wizard of Oz was made by them. That game is the most broken over priced pile of poop that the pinball industry has ever seen. To be fair I haven’t played their most recent games so I’m sure they figured out most of their problems by now. Those days of $1 Jersey Jack games that were completely broken we’re dark times especially for the owner of the game who spent well over $10k for what was promised to be the best game ever that will change pinball forever. Good video besides that and seems like a good kid. Going to subscribe for sure.
@@EmeraldCityRiz The Big Lebowski is awesome. They are new compared to Stern so they obviously had to work on some things but they're a lot better now.
Lol, Stern has issues all of the time. Jersey Jack Pinball has about the same amount, but release less games. JJP usually has flipper weakness. All pinball makers are awesome just for making pinball ideas come to life. Good video.
@@rfinnegan7106 I agree that any pinball company even just trying these days is awesome. Charging over $15k fir a machine that doesn’t work isn’t cool at all. That’s why the Wizard of Oz ruined that company for me. It doesn’t matter if a game looks good if it doesn’t play good, that’s why old machines are still popular. They don’t look the greatest but they still have good game play. Saying Stern has just as many problems as Jersey Jack is by far the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard somebody say about pinball. I have owed both machines personally and have worked on both. My Wizard of Oz machine only works because all internal parts were replaced with Stern parts. That thing was worthless until then. I had to update that machine with a USB every month for a few years because even the software was released broken. I was glad to get rid of that thing even though the game was devalued so much I had to take a huge loss on it. I will still give the new JJP games a chance I just haven’t been to an arcade since the pandemic started.
my dad had a pinball afficianado/collector/hobbyist friend, that had to build a barn to house all of his pinball machines and parts... if anybody knows of Silver Ball Ranch In Sebastapool California. Will always Remember this guy and his collection of pinball machines
One thing that I’ve always found refreshing about your channel is the fact that-despite the pandemic, the bleak economic prospects, the geopolitical tensions, or whatever-you always maintain a positive outlook and manage to find a way to celebrate a better, more peaceful, and fun-loving tomorrow. 👍🏻👏🏻
We just went back to Vegas in January for the first time since Covid started and we took a cab to the Pinball Hall of Fame. I was hoping to find 2 machines that I played endlessly back in the mid 70s, Old Chicago and Captain Fantastic. And they were there!!! This place is awesome, thanks Chris.
I remember Captain Fantastic. I liked Card Whiz. Back in the day, when we were kids, my brother and I could spend a quarter and make it last HOURS. We used to kill a pinball machine called Strange World. We didn’t have enough time to play all the free games we won. We’d beat that on a regular basis
@@zabagar I grew up in a small town of White lake NC back in the 70s.I remember captain fantastic The owner of the arcade room hated seeing me and my brother.Because he knew we were pinball wizards.The pinball machine called Super Sonic by Bally was our favorite.We would rack win 15 games in no time.We would be on it for 2 to 3 hours and then sale the games for 2 bucks.Come back about a 1 0r 2 hours later and play again.Yes the 70s was the best time to play pinball.The arcade had all the good ones.Kiss,Charlie Angels,Star trek,Evil kenevil,rolling stones eight ball delux,deluxe, and of course captain fantastic just to nam a few.As far as this place IT does not interest me.After the early 80s pinball machines were more about looks.This is all this place has.The ones made in the 70s was so easy to figure out to win.Those machines in the 70s was straight forward without a bunch of nonsence
I was a frequent Vegas visitor (anywhere from 6-8 times per year) and the old PHOF was always high on my list of "must visits". Finally got to see the new location on my first post-COVID trip to Vegas in December 2021 and absolutely loved this spot. Great location & it's nice to see so many machines on display & available for play.
They have the baseball game at the 3:22 mark that I used to play at a small grocery store on the Northside of Binghamton in 1977. You used to be able to lift the machine up to prevent your ball from being lost without tilting it (I had to have the bigger kids help me do that...lol) . I remember scoring 21,880 points and 7 runs once.
Would LOVE to have nothing but PRE-1970's machines! Those news ones with all the flashing lights, sound effects, music, animations, etc are overload for my old brain!!! My name isnt Tommy but I was quite the pinball wizard back in the day!!! The machines with the rifles and the bowling ones had to be some of my favorite. Although they wern't really pinball.
You mention Stern is the only pinball manufacture left. Pinball is seeing a giant resurgence. There are many companies making new pinball cabinets all over the world. Jersey Jack, Spooky, Haggis, Homepin and American Pinball to mention just a few. Google is your friend !!!
I loved going to the pinball Hall of Fame in the old location, really looking forward to checking out the new location in a couple months when I'm down in Vegas
OMG this place looks so cool. I love pinball machines. I also spent many hours playing Paper Boy back in the day. That’s so cool that your dad used to repair pinball machines. You seemed to know a lot about the games. I bet you would be fun to play with
@3:27 My husband's family had the Flip a Card pinball machine in their home. He grew up playing that pinball machine and played it for (roughly) 20+ years. Even as an adult, it was fun to play. The "counter" on the game would roll over after 9,999 points and reset to "0". During one game play he turned the score over twice, frequently resting the ball on the flipper before he directed to the spot he wanted. Don't know if there will ever be another decade like the 80s, a truly memorable time for arcade lovers.
Yes we did have an Official Baseball machine in the living room for awhile. One play for a Dime or three plays for a Quarter. Later we moved it to the Better World Galleria. Thanks to your video I now know where to have some fun whenever I ever get to Las Vegas again.
I visited back in November and they didn't have Safecracker out. It is by far my favorite Pin. It's really a great place packed with working pinball tables.
Fantastic ! This place is like my idea of heaven. Will definitely be putting this on my itinerary, for our visit later this year. Thanks for covering, it will be our first visit to Vegas. Your videos have been very helpful.
PB:HoF is a must visit for me every trip. Been visiting since they were on the Flamingo Blvd. location at the strip mall. I was so stoked when they got full funding for the Strip location! PB:HoF does just an amazing job keeping these old machines operating. I'll just warn ya'll it is usually not this quiet. Last two times I visited it was shoulder to shoulder with a full lot, so don't count on parking despite the ample parking spaces available. Very very busy.
Hi Chris. Thanks you for the tour.Seeing some of those machines bring back some childhood memories. I probably could spend the day trying to play all those pinball machines. The cat seems to be the unofficial mascot of the place. Thanks for sharing and take care.
I was here around 8 months ago, and its absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend this place enough. The alien machine is so strange to play, but its fun.
I was in Vegas Nov 21 and didn't know about this. Theatre of Magic was one of my favorites and I also saw Pinbot which I loved. Next time I'm there this is a must visit.
Breathtakingly extensive selection. And a lot of labor and love to provide all that. Do you use the "least busy" graphs on Google to pick your time to visit? You have great unimpeded footage. Shockingly unimpeded, which I don't know if it means going at 3 AM on a Tuesday, or that traffic is running uncomfortably thin? Fakedemics do that... I admire that you ended encouraging people to support them. Especially since they're so extraordinarily nice on the admission and prices.
Thanks Bill.. I just pick times to visit Vegas when it's extraordinarily unbusy. Typically the 2nd or 3rd week of December. And I was there close to closing time
I love this place and I visit every time I'm in Vegas. Some of my favorite machines in here: 6:23: The lady in the red hoodie is standing between two really cool ones. On the left is a small wood cabinet that's 100 years old and shows a "movie" in the viewer, which is actually an automatic flip book of a Dempsey vs. Carpentier boxing match. On the right are two Disney wax figure makers from a 1960s World's Fair. 9:10: The red table game on the right is an old 2-player basketball game. The ball lands in these pits that can shoot the ball towards either goal, and each has a number that corresponds to buttons in front of each player. The buttons are numbered 1-15 I believe and are laid out in sequence in front of you. Whoever hits their button first gets a shot towards the other player's goal. It's surprisingly challenging on the reflexes. 13:33: This is my absolute favorite in the whole place. That baseball game is absurdly addictive. It's always open because no one seems to know about it! 14:46: The baseball game to the left of the girl playing Ms. Pac-Man rarely works but it's super fun when it does. An air vent causes a ball to hover in mid-air and you swing at it with the little doll. 18:33: The white sit-down game also rarely works, it's a Star Trek Simulator where you shoot at other ships. The wireframe graphics are very similar to the old Star Wars arcade game and you get a simultaneous first person and top-down view of the action.
I will be bringing my 3 youngest sons to Vegas March 19-24th, 2024 for spring break. I have been to Vegas 3xs & have never been to the PHOF. It’s high on my list for my upcoming trip. I’m excited. I can’t wait. Thanks for the video.
Cool video, I'll have to check this out next time we're there. The first thing I would like to do is see and play the very oldest machines there. Even if they aren't as fun, it's just the idea of playing a pinball game from the 40s or 50s that I think is really nostalgic.
Man I love this type of a place, nostalgia to the past. Kids this days will probably not appreciate what their parents parents grew up playing. Could you do more exploration videos, please.
Chicago Gaming Company also makes some really great games. They bought the rights to the Bally/Williams games and have done remakes so far of Attack from Mars, Monster Bash and Medieval Madness. American Pinball and Spooky are out there with a few other smaller companies too. Pinball machines have skyrocketed in value with COVID and demand is through the roof. A place like this that lets people have the ability to play some of these games which could sell for 10’s of thousands of dollars is pretty amazing!
I didn't know they had moved. This place looks huge compared to the old, cramped off strip location. Next time I am road tripping thru LV I will make a special trip just to see the new palace.
Glad they finally got to the strip. Been going there for years, every time I'm in Vegas.. One thing, Stern is not the last pinball manufacturer, a company called Jersey Jacks is making machines, you can find their Willy Wonka machine at the PHOF..
Thank you for the tour.....I have to go there someday.....I grew up on pinball in the 60s and I love those classics by Bally Williams and Gottleib,,,,not really a fan of the new pinball machines....I would spend all my time on those classics......Thanks again for the tour!
Thank you, my friend… I am completely addicted to pinball… I was in Maryland, I found the pinball museum and… it was closed forever , just in the day that I was there… so, I am still having medication:) I am from Portugal… it is not near… well… I must go to Vegas… Pinball for everyone!!!
Amazing place. We will have to check it out when we go in August. Did they have the Back to the Future Pinball Machine? I have one here at home. Fun to play. Cost me a bit to buy.
If you like Pinball you'll love this spot Cathy! Unfortunately with a few hundred machines I don't remember them all :). That's cool you have a machine at home
Tim has so many machines... last time I saw him he said he's never been able to fit all his machines on the floor at the same time. You could probably try phoning and asking him if he's got it on-site and whether he'll have it on the floor. He told me he tries to rotate the stock sometimes to get everything represented... also there's a constant rotation of repair/refurbishing going on which affects what's on the floor each day
WOOOOOOW. If only ONCE in my life I should visit place like this....I really need to. I know most of the tables showed in the video (and their rules ), although I didn't played anyone of them in real life :))) God Bless VISUAL PINBALL!
I wish Visual Pinball was more user friendly to setup. There's also a lot of drama in that circle with sites shutting down that had thousands of tables and mods. Definitely a lot jankier to get into than emulation for just about anything else...
I played it pretty recently and I prefer it to Addams family. My score was almost 200 mil. Unfortunately the machine had an issue, so my replay was ruined.
Went to this about 10 years ago, on holiday from Australia. Was a bit further out than we thought from MGM where me and now Wife were staying. Well worth it, spent whole day there. Apollo 13 was my Fav by far.
Thanks for the vid Chris. I was there last month and seemed to miss alot of the machines you featured. Guess I have to go back soon. This place is nicer and bigger than their older, off-the-strip locale. If you like penny arcade machines and are in San Fran. check out the musee mecanique on the wharf. Thanks again. C U Soon. Mike
I want to thank the owners of this museum for allowing the public to play all of these pinball machines and arcade games all the while NOT charging an arm and a leg for the experience. I can't wait to visit with my kids!
Do they still have the Addams Family game? Love it! I used to have that in my pizzeria in the 80’s and played it there a few years ago. Spent about $2 and played for almost 2 hours!
LOVE the Pitch & Bat Machines! Also.... the two games we played endlessly in the 1970s were called "Fireball" (Greek Mythology theme) and Dy-No-Mite (a take-off on Good Times). Does anyone know if either of those machines are there? If so, I am definitely going to Vegas!
Thanks for sharing. Kept hearing about this. I will be checking this out. Wife & I make Vegas trips (from AZ) all the time. I own a 1983 Williams - Blacknight 2000 (You walked past a Blacknight @ 8:50 ). Total blast. Visited the Pinball museum in San Francisco over 10 years ago. They had the "original" Indiana Jones pinball. Played the heck out of that one! Been wanting one ever since. Cant afford it now. 🤮
We had a Sinbad pinball machine by Gottlieb I believe in 1979 or so in my Dad's nightclub. I used to play that thing religiously. There was Sinbad, Future Spa and Little Pawnee which was a slot machine with the lever on the front. Instead of pulling it toward you, you would press the lever one way or the other like a see saw. The PacMan came.
The first pinball machine I played was called Monte Carlo, it was from the late 60s early 70s, wonder if they have it, great video Chris, you sure know your machines

Wonderful to see the new location! I didn't know they moved. That place is the best gaming value in the whole town!
Love this place. Always visit each time I'm in Vegas for an afternoon. Good place to spend a lot of time and not a lot of money
This is one of my favorite places to visit in Las Vegas! It's a museum and entertainment center combined.
it also feels like you go into a time machine when you enter - it takes me back to a wonderful time! So happy for the owners!
Yeah this place gets too much good publicity the owner is a piece of s***
On the bucket list!
I loved going to the pinball Hall of Fame in the old location, really looking forward to checking out the new location in a couple months when I'm down in Vegas
4:56 The Hobbit was made by Jersey Jack pinball, not Stern Pinball
OMG this place looks so cool. I love pinball machines. I also spent many hours playing Paper Boy back in the day. That’s so cool that your dad used to repair pinball machines. You seemed to know a lot about the games. I bet you would be fun to play with
I really enjoyed this place last summer! Loads of fun! Thanks for the video
Thank you for pinball overload...love it.
My pleasure Steve!
@3:27 My husband's family had the Flip a Card pinball machine in their home. He grew up playing that pinball machine and played it for (roughly) 20+ years. Even as an adult, it was fun to play. The "counter" on the game would roll over after 9,999 points and reset to "0".

Just ran by yesterday on las vegas half marathon, as a local, i had never seen this place before
Was just there last night. Very nice set-up with WORKING pinball machines. It's worth the effort to visit.
I didn't even know this was in Vegas, and I was there last wknd. I definitely will go on the next trip. Thanks for the post! 🇲🇽 Saludos de México.
Thanks! Now you know for your next trip!
Wow didn’t realize how massive it is!
Awesome video. Love the content. Always wanted a Kiss and a Guns N' Rose's pinball machines. Lot of history in the museum.
There a pinpalll collector in England who recently sold the guns n roses pinball machine for 12 grand
Yeah just saw one the other day for about that price online. Pricey, but what a cool machine.
@@EveliasKitchen going up in value too
Yeah the kiss one I was looking at is going for 25k. Truly amazing.
Thanks Family Eats!
The Twlight Zone "powerball" is a ceramic ball. It is much lighter than a normal pinball. Also it does not attract or stick to the magnets.
As a fan of pinball I was happy to see the two player versions. That's a new one for me. Really makes sense, wish I could try it some day.
Hi Chris. Thanks you for the tour.Seeing some of those machines bring back some childhood memories. I probably could spend the day trying to play all those pinball machines. The cat seems to be the unofficial mascot of the place. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Thanks James! Yes. This is an easy Spend all day kind of place

Fantastic tour of this place. I make it there on every Vegas trip. You were extremely knowledgeable of these classic games. Well done.
Thanks sjmeola!
Wow, I didn't know they moved locations. I always make it a point to stop by during our trips to Vegas.
Yup! This location is awesome!
My favorite place to visit when I go to Vegas!
I don’t think I’d get beyond the marquee out front. That thing is nuts.
Thanks for the tour!
This video brings back so many High School memories. Time has flown by so quickly.
Still hoping to make my way down to this place sometime soon...
I'm going to VBegas in October. I'll have to check this out. I used to love to play pinball when I was a kid.

Reminds me of when i went to visit the Pacific pinball museum in Alameda, California!! Def have to check this spot out now.
The new location looks great! See you in Feb! I hope they have bump pinball in the new location.
I will be bringing my 3 youngest sons to Vegas March 19-24th, 2024 for spring break. I have been to Vegas 3xs & have never been to the PHOF.
It’s high on my list for my upcoming trip.
I’m excited. I can’t wait.

Awesome! I'm sure you and the family will enjoy it!
Was just there last month.
Had a great time.
Even bought the T shirt 😆
OMG so cool. I've added it to my list to places to go to once I can go to Vegas.
Thanks for this video I’ve been curious about this place and will definitely check it out next time I love Pinball!💛

Hi Adio.. Indeed. I've been doing more of these walking tours lately. More to come!
Stern isn't the only pinball machine company making machines today. Jersey Jacks & American Pinball are making great machines.
Chicago Gaming Company also makes some really great games. They bought the rights to the Bally/Williams games and have done remakes so far of Attack from Mars, Monster Bash and Medieval Madness. American Pinball and Spooky are out there with a few other smaller companies too.
Pinball machines have skyrocketed in value with COVID and demand is through the roof. A place like this that lets people have the ability to play some of these games which could sell for 10’s of thousands of dollars is pretty amazing!
That place is amazing.
It sure is Dollar Guy!
Great video, your knowledge of the pinball games is very impressive- thanks!
Thanks K!
I didn't know they had moved. This place looks huge compared to the old, cramped off strip location. Next time I am road tripping thru LV I will make a special trip just to see the new palace.
looks great I could spend hours here , great video bro I was looking for a jubilee didn't think I seen one though a lot of great tables
Glad they finally got to the strip. Been going there for years, every time I'm in Vegas.. One thing, Stern is not the last pinball manufacturer, a company called Jersey Jacks is making machines, you can find their Willy Wonka machine at the PHOF..
Along with Chicago pinball, spooky pinball, American pinball, P3, and others. Stern is by far the king though.
and Wizard of Oz that he walked by moments earlier 🙃
@@SquishyMon And Hobbit
I love classic Pac Man and Miss Pacman. Thanks 4 the vídeo 👍👍👍
Wow! Great collection and review.
Thank you
Thanks Twinsies!
Stern is far from the only manufacturer making modern pinball machines right now. Also, the Hobbit machine is not made by Stern either.
Visited the old place back in 2006 or so, new place looks awesome!
It is!
My childhood relived. Blacknight was my favorite which I seen in your video.
The Shelby Car museum is a good spot as well and The famous death car of Bonnie and Clyde is at Whiskey Pete’s in Primm ,Nevada.
I love that place ,as a local that's the only time I go to the strip to play Pinball !!
Come on mate get into the casino black jack 💰💰💰💰
@@cryptolord9826 Nah not interested at all !
@@scottrunnels3958 smart man 🤙
Thank you for the tour.....I have to go there someday.....I grew up on pinball in the 60s and I love those classics by Bally Williams and Gottleib,,,,not really a fan of the new pinball machines....I would spend all my time on those classics......Thanks again for the tour!
Thanks Chuck!
Thank you, my friend… I am completely addicted to pinball… I was in Maryland, I found the pinball museum and… it was closed forever , just in the day that I was there… so, I am still having medication:) I am from Portugal… it is not near… well… I must go to Vegas…
Pinball for everyone!!!
There it is! I just saw it. My favorite!
Great video. Long live " Fireball" . Loved that game.
That's what I went there for my first time, back in February 20th.
Amazing place. We will have to check it out when we go in August. Did they have the Back to the Future Pinball Machine? I have one here at home. Fun to play. Cost me a bit to buy.
If you like Pinball you'll love this spot Cathy! Unfortunately with a few hundred machines I don't remember them all :). That's cool you have a machine at home
Tim has so many machines... last time I saw him he said he's never been able to fit all his machines on the floor at the same time. You could probably try phoning and asking him if he's got it on-site and whether he'll have it on the floor. He told me he tries to rotate the stock sometimes to get everything represented... also there's a constant rotation of repair/refurbishing going on which affects what's on the floor each day
Memories of my life as a teenager. Great video. Thanks Mr. Chris.
Thanks M P!
WOOOOOOW. If only ONCE in my life I should visit place like this....I really need to. I know most of the tables showed in the video (and their rules ), although I didn't played anyone of them in real life :))) God Bless VISUAL PINBALL!
For pinheads it's worth a trip to Vegas just for this place!
I wish Visual Pinball was more user friendly to setup. There's also a lot of drama in that circle with sites shutting down that had thousands of tables and mods. Definitely a lot jankier to get into than emulation for just about anything else...
So cool,will definitely be on the next trip to Vegas,hopefully we can escape to the USA next year,thanks Chris!!!
I love this Pinball Hall of Fame place so much!
Awesome! I can’t wait to play pinball again! Twilight Zone is my favorite of all time
Twilight Zone is super fun
@@YellowProductions One night at a 7 11 in Los Angeles, I flipped Twilight Zone 7 seven times for a dollar. It was so cool
I played it pretty recently and I prefer it to Addams family. My score was almost 200 mil. Unfortunately the machine had an issue, so my replay was ruined.
Went to this about 10 years ago, on holiday from Australia. Was a bit further out than we thought from MGM where me and now Wife were staying. Well worth it, spent whole day there. Apollo 13 was my Fav by far.
13 ball multiball is pretty fun!
Thanks for the vid Chris. I was there last month and seemed to miss alot of the machines you featured. Guess I have to go back soon. This place is nicer and bigger than their older, off-the-strip locale. If you like penny arcade machines and are in San Fran. check out the musee mecanique on the wharf. Thanks again. C U Soon. Mike
Cool video. I played a lot of the old ones when I was a kid.
I want to thank the owners of this museum for allowing the public to play all of these pinball machines and arcade games all the while NOT charging an arm and a leg for the experience. I can't wait to visit with my kids!
Amen jtno!
I loved pinball games as a kid and teen…I am going to play some pinball on my next Vegas visit.
OMG this video IS my childhood! Thanks for posting
And it can be your adulthood too! :)
Welcome to the paradise 😍😍
Never knew this place existed. Thx for sharing!
I played the baseball game at the beach millions of times. So much fun
Funhouse I mastered that one! Too expensive to buy now.
Do they still have the Addams Family game? Love it! I used to have that in my pizzeria in the 80’s and played it there a few years ago. Spent about $2 and played for almost 2 hours!
They sure do!
Probably the best place to visit in Las Vegas...
Thank you for this truck I cannot wait to go how exciting pinball yay
LOVE the Pitch & Bat Machines! Also.... the two games we played endlessly in the 1970s were called "Fireball" (Greek Mythology theme) and Dy-No-Mite (a take-off on Good Times). Does anyone know if either of those machines are there? If so, I am definitely going to Vegas!
Thanks for sharing. Kept hearing about this. I will be checking this out. Wife & I make Vegas trips (from AZ) all the time. I own a 1983 Williams - Blacknight 2000 (You walked past a Blacknight @ 8:50 ). Total blast. Visited the Pinball museum in San Francisco over 10 years ago. They had the "original" Indiana Jones pinball. Played the heck out of that one! Been wanting one ever since. Cant afford it now. 🤮
We had a Sinbad pinball machine by Gottlieb I believe in 1979 or so in my Dad's nightclub. I used to play that thing religiously. There was Sinbad, Future Spa and Little Pawnee which was a slot machine with the lever on the front. Instead of pulling it toward you, you would press the lever one way or the other like a see saw. The PacMan came.
The first pinball machine I played was called Monte Carlo, it was from the late 60s early 70s, wonder if they have it, great video Chris, you sure know your machines
YES that was a good one we played Galaxy by Stern at local store....hours the quarters lined up along side
