In this local buying guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about purchasing a pinball machine in Austin: from choosing the right type to delivery and maintenance, plus where to find the best deals locally and online.
📍 Why Austin Is a Pinball Hotspot
Austin has long been known for its quirky, retro-loving vibe, and pinball fits right into the local culture. You’ll find them in arcades, breweries, coffee shops, and even offices—but nothing beats owning one yourself.
Whether you’re decking out your game room, home bar, or commercial space, a pinball machine adds personality, nostalgia, and endless entertainment.
🛠️ What Type of Pinball Machine Should You Buy?

From Star Wars and The Mandalorian to Attack From Mars, pinball machines come in thousands of themed editions. Choose one that fits your personality or room aesthetic.
2. 🧩 Gameplay Complexity
Are you looking for something easy and fun for guests? Or do you want a deep rule set with multiple modes, multiballs, and challenges? We offer models for both beginners and hardcore players.
3. 💰 Budget
Pinball machines typically range between:
