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. Tim moved to Las Vegas and began sending generous donations to the Salvation Army. He continues to do so today through the Pinball Hall of Fame.

The Pinball Hall of Fame’s games range from 25 cents to 50 cents per play with excess revenues donated to the Salvation Army. Over the years, Tim has managed to give millions of dollars away, receiving recognition from the State of Nevada for his selflessness.
