Fox News has this wonderful Lifestyle piece on the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. Read the full article here.
Call it pinball for peace.
The Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, Nevada offers a step back in game time amid the high-priced neon glitz and schlock of Sin City — and does it all for good causes.
“We’re a bunch of old hippies who are busted and just like to hang out and play pinball and raise money,” the Hall of Fame’s Tim Arnold told Fox News Digital. His title is “director of stuff and things.”
The organization donated $1.2 million to local causes last year, most of it to the Salvation Army, he said.
The Pinball Hall of Fame is Arnold’s 25,000-square foot arcade with 700 classic pinball machines, some dating back to the 1950s.
It’s free to enter, open to families — and games cost just 25 cents to 50 cents to play. The non-profit is staffed by volunteers.
Running a successful bar is about more than just serving great drinks; it’s about creating an experience that keeps customers returning for more. One way to do this is by adding pool tables, foosball, and arcade games to your bar. Here are some reasons you should consider adding these games to your establishment (and GAD can help you determine the best mix for your place by demographic, floor space and income requirements).
Games in your bar give customers something to do while they enjoy their drinks. It’s a great way to break the ice and meet new people. Playing games together creates a sense of camaraderie and connection among customers as they cheer each other on and interact with each other. This, in turn, increases customer engagement, which can help boost profits.
Customers who enjoy their time at your bar are more likely to return.
Having pool tables, foosball, and arcade games in your bar can help draw in more customers. People may come to play the games and then stay for drinks and food. This can increase foot traffic, leading to more profits and a sense of community that can lead to new friendships and repeat business.
The games themselves can bring in a boost of revenue but also bring in additional customers who may have yet to visit otherwise. Plus, people tend to stay longer when engaged in an activity, so they’ll likely order more drinks and food.
Games like pool, foosball, pinball, and arcades appeal to many customers. They’re great for groups of friends looking to hang out and have fun, but they’re also popular among solo customers who want to pass the time.
Adding these games to your bar can enhance your establishment’s atmosphere. It creates a fun and relaxed vibe that customers will appreciate. Plus, it gives your bar a unique selling point that sets it apart from other bars in the area.
Hosting events and tournaments centered around these games is a great way to increase business. You can organize leagues or tournaments, offering prizes to the winners. This generates revenue and creates a sense of community around your bar.

They increase customer engagement, generate additional revenue, appeal to a wide range of customers, enhance your bar’s atmosphere, and provide an opportunity for events and tournaments. So, if you want to take your bar to the next level, consider contacting GAD to add these to your establishment.

At GAD, we think Pi should be a national holiday. Why not? Such a great fun, education day – and a chance for every great game to get played!
Of course, darts is all about math. The throw is a function of aerodynamics with the math of force, distance and angles. Plus the amount of force to get the dart to stick in the board. All brought together in an instant. Then you get more math practice by keeping score – or cheat and keep score digitally.
And, pinball! Geometry to make your high school math teacher droll. The roll of the ball vs the force and angle to hit the targets to score more points. And, the points it takes to get a multi ball bonus. Pinball is all about math.
Same with Golden Tee PGA. Just a great game of math, skill and a bit of luck.
