Want to rent a pinball machine?

You’re in the right place.

There used to be a pinball machine on every corner. From snack bars to campsites to cafés. Everyone and their mother played pinball. And then… they disappeared. Gradually, quietly. The battle against video games seemed lost forever.

These days, we’re craving a break from our screens. We want something real. Something we can touch. No pixels. It’s time for a comeback. Yes, the pinball machine is back. Big time.

Our pinball machines are vintage, but feel surprisingly fresh. They’re physical, addictive, and impossible to replicate on a screen. Hands on the buttons. Eyes on the ball. Go. No algorithm can compete with that.

A pinball machine brings something truly unique into your location. A game you can’t copy, but can share. With your colleagues. With your friends. With everyone.

How big is a pinball machine?

Most of our Bally/Williams pinball machines measure approximately:

Height: 195 cm
Width: 75 cm
Depth: 145 cm

Please also bear in mind:

If a pinball machine has a topper above the backbox, it will be around 20 cm taller.
Pinball machines from the early 1980s are often around 20 cm shorter than average.
Our Gottlieb pinball machines from the early 1980s are around 20 cm deeper than average.
Allow roughly one extra metre in front of the machine so players can stand comfortably.

You’ll find the exact dimensions for each machine on its page in our collection.

Where can I place a pinball machine?

When you rent a pinball machine from us, please make sure the location meets these requirements:

An indoor space with a controlled temperature.
Use in a tent or under an awning is not permitted because of the risk of leaks and condensation.
A nearby earthed power socket rated at 230 V / 1,000 W.
We only deliver and install on the ground floor, or on an upper floor if there is a lift.

Do you rent out other games as well as pinball machines?

Pinball is our core business.

But are you looking to rent a foosball table or an arcade machine? We’d be happy to see what we can arrange. Ask us what’s possible.

What happens if a rented pinball machine breaks down?

Good to know: before delivery, we give every machine a complete technical inspection. We proactively replace parts that are subject to wear. This minimises the risk of a fault and ensures you get a machine that plays beautifully.

If something does still break and you can no longer play the machine normally, we’ll repair it as quickly as possible. We’ll agree on a suitable solution for any playing time you missed.

Where are you based?

In Amsterdam! But we rent pinball machines throughout the Netherlands.

What’s the best pinball machine ever?

Ooh, that’s a loaded question. And… an impossible one to answer. Why? Simple: taste.

Pinball is brilliant, of course. But one person loves a cheerful theme, while another prefers something tougher. Some players want deep rules, while others prefer a game that is simple but challenging.

Our collection is carefully balanced, with something for everyone: humour, action, vintage, modern, popular, rare, beautiful to look at, great to play… and the list goes on.

Tell us what matters to you, and we’ll match you with the pinball machine that suits you perfectly.
