Pinball in Indiana

Pinball was once a staple in American arcades and living rooms, providing endless hours of fun for players of all ages. However, the popularity of pinball machines dwindled in the early 21st century, and many feared that the beloved game was on the verge of extinction. In recent years, however, there has been a resurgence in interest in pinball, thanks in part to the efforts of dedicated fans and players who have worked to keep the game alive. One such community can be found in the state of Indiana, where pinball enthusiasts have come together to form clubs, host tournaments, and promote the game to a new generation of players. Thanks to their efforts, pinball is once again thriving in Indiana and making a comeback across the country.
