The museum is run by Tim Arnold, a veteran arcade operator who ran Pinball Petes in. Over the years, Tim has managed to give millions of dollars away, receiving recognition from the State of Nevada for his selflessness. The museum is a project of the Las Vegas Pinball Collectors Club. The Pinball Hall of Fame’s games range from 25 cents to 50 cents per play with excess revenues donated to the Salvation Army. By September 1976, Tim opened Pinball Petes in Lansing (and later in Ann Arbor), as a large pinball arcade. He continues to do so today through the Pinball Hall of Fame.

I get that pinball and gaming in general isnt exactly known for its social butterflies and neurotypical people, but this dudes got some problems upstairs, Im not kidding. Run by veteran arcade operator Tim Arnold who made it big during the Pacman era in the 1970s and ’80s when he opened “Pinball Pete’s” in Lansing, Michigan with his brother, Tim’s philanthropic side led him to thoroughly research organizations to donate to when he sold his part of the business in 1990.
