Many people associate pinball machines with amusement arcades or bars. However, a modern pinball machine can easily be operated at home. Whether in the living room, hobby room, basement, gameroom or your own mancave – with a little space and a normal power socket, nothing stands in the way of your own pinball machine.

Anyone thinking about having their own pinball machine usually has the same concerns: Do I need high voltage current? Is a pinball machine too loud for the home? How much space will it take up and can the floor bear the weight? The good news is that most of these worries can be quickly dispelled.

 

Brief summary of the most important points:

  • a normal 230-volt socket is sufficient
  • a pinball machine is audible, but not a permanently loud device – the noises only occur when playing and are typical of the experience
  • living room, office, basement or mancave are equally suitable
  • installation is usually also possible in a rented flat without any problems
  • Modern pinball machines are a great hobby for the whole family.
