One of the greatest parts of being in the Pinball Capital of the World is getting visitors like Bob Malvasio and his daughter Shella yesterday. Bob worked for Gottlieb at their Northlake and Kostner Ave locations. If you find the the initials RHM on the indside of any of your old Wedgeheads, Bob helped make that machines.

Father's Day is coming up June 21. Bring your Dad to play pinball at the Pinball Capital. Fathers are free with a paid adult. It will be a special day and we are really looking forward to it.

One of the hardest monthly accomplishments in Pinball is making all of the Stern Pinball insider connected top 10 leaderboards at TPC. Venom scores weren't counted this month from a scoring glitch on our LE.

Chaz67 is our player of the month and will get a free month's membership. Da-Beast will recieve a $75 gift card.

Everyone making 5 leaderboards will be in our raffle held during Thursday's matchplay tournament. We have a Galactic Tank Force 3d backglass from American Pinball in the raffle.

Both prizes stand for June and look for another challenge with Scorbit as we added a new Scorbit leaderboard with 12 classic titles. Download their app and check out our learderboards on games like Getaway and Theatre of Magic.
