The sights and sounds of the 2017 Texas Pinball Festival

Did you know that D-FW is the home of one of the nation's biggest pinball conventions?

More than 400 pinball tables are set to free play at the Texas Pinball Festival alongside a smaller but noteworthy collection of classic arcade cabinets. Attendees of all ages gathered at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Convention Center in Frisco to see (and play in) tournaments, experience many classic games and even to play some brand new pinball machines for the very first time.

Some attendees showed up to shop for new tables or parts, but most were just there to experience games that can be just as fun in 2017 as they were decades ago.
