New to Pinball?

District 82 pinball is not your typical location!

Most places you find pinball machines are bars, laundry mats, amusement parks, etc. The pinball machine is the accessory item that is their to fill some space, take your quarters, and the owner of that machine really doesn’t care about the quality of game play. All machines at District 82 pinball are fully working, tournament quality, and amazing.

How do I play?

District 82 Pinball is open to the public on Fridays 5-10PM, Saturdays 11AM-10PM, and Sundays 11AM-8PM. You do not need to register in advance. Pay the admission price for the day and play as much as you want, all games are set to free play.
We also have Tilt'n Tuesday which is a tournament and other larger weekend tournaments which you do need to register in advance for.

How much does it cost?

$25 is the standard cost for admission. Kids ages 6-12 get a discounted price of $15 on Saturdays and Sundays. Special events like major tournaments are priced separately.

I’m not good and scared about playing in a tournament!

This is a normal feeling! Don’t worry and have fun! Pinball is a great hobby and the people that play regularly are very friendly and supportive of new people trying it out. You are not playing by yourself with 50 people watching like a typical tournament from another sport that you see on TV. The computer software breaks you up in groups of 4 people per machine with typically the same ability as the tournament progresses. You will have fun and you will probably win some matches too!

Why are you not open everyday?

Pinball machines break....a lot. I opened this place so people can have a unique pinball experience on high quality machines and the only way I can do that is to be open a few days a week. That gives me enough time to check over all the machines in between the events so they are 100% ready for the next one.

I’m ready to play, now what?

Check the calendar of events and see which one you want to play in. If its a "Open Pinball" day then just come on down when we are open. Everything else (Tournaments) you need to register in advance. There is usually a blue 'REGISTER' button the page for the event you are interested in. Click it and put in your name and email or send Erik an email at [email protected] and say you want to play. That’s it. Then I’ll see you at the next event!
