Pinball Profile

The biggest pinball event maybe ever will have all eyes on Germany. The European Pinball Championship, the IFPA Olympics, and The IFPA World Championship will all take place in an 11 day span at Bulls & Balls and Freddy's Pinball Paradise. Jim & Dina Lindsay of JDL Pinball will have all the action on their Twitch channel. But behind the scenes, you'll hear who they have been working hard for months to put this all together.

Lots of media attention this month for pinball. PinClash, Allentown, and EPC/IFPA 18 World Championships have provided stories for media coverage. It's great promotion for our hobby and sport. Pinball and its competitions aren't top of mind or on the radar at all for the majority of people, so here's how to invite new people to pinball through media.

It's Keith Elwin...and on VIDEO! Hear (or see) Keith talk about the upcoming PinClash Godzilla version May 13th (www.twitch.tv/iepinball) and how that game's depth offers so much for any player. Plus, he'll talk about going to Germany for the IFPA 18 World Championships, June 1-4.

Busy March for pinball. Made it to Bang Back Pinball Lounge in Columbia SC, then Game Terminal in Nashville TN, before a return to the Louisville Arcade Expo.

What a month! So many new machines, so many events and announcements. Good times in pinball right now!
