As pinball's birthplace, the United States offers temples to the silverball. The Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas claims the largest collection on Earth, with roughly 700 machines spanning the 1950s to today and free admission, profits going to charity. Across the country, giant arcades and barcades keep Bally, Williams, Gottlieb and modern Stern tables in play. Chicago, the historic manufacturing hub and still home to Stern, remains central to the hobby's heritage.

Birthplace of pinball and the arcade, the US worships retro gaming, from the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas to Chicago's giant arcades.

Pinball was banned in New York from 1942 to 1976, deemed gambling, before being legalised again.
