Pinball Machines & Arcade Game
Pinball machines will be selected at a later date, so we can bring in the best and most up-to-date machines possible.

Stuck Balls
If the ball gets stuck in the playing field, it can be pulled and placed in an appropriate area to continue the game. In most cases, the ball check will fix this problem. If a person tilts a machine to free a ball, you will loose that ball, and continue playing until the end of the final ball.

Pinball Malfunctions
In the unlikely event of a pinball malfunction, the player will be given the option to have the problem fixed, or to start the game over on a different machine. Our goal is to bring good working pinball machines, but unexpected problems do occur.

Tilt and Slam Tilt
A standard pinball tilt is expected during a tournament game, you will just simply lose your ball and continue playing the game. A slam tilt is considered abuse of the machine and you will be disqualified from the Tournament.

Entry Fee for the Wizard of Ohio Tournament is $5 and includes 2 qualifying attempts. The other tournaments for fun and prizes are free to enter, each player in the free tournaments are limited to one entry per tournament.
