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.
