Hey everybody. here is my story of how i started up with my pinball hobby. So it all started in 2013 when I was a 10 year old boy who got excited to test a cruise slot machine. then the idea arose that it would be fun to own one. in 2015 I ended up buying a slot machine. the place where the game was was a great pinball collection where i got to test pinball for the first time and wow it was great. we returned home and it didn't take long as I sold the slot machine off and bought the first pinball machine from the same vendor in the party zone. After buying the first game, I started to get acquainted with the Finnish pinball site. I noticed that there were great arcades in Finland. we went to the arcade in Orivesi where there was also a pinball tournament. I participated in the tournament and got excited about tournament gaming. after that i started going to tournaments all over finland and got myself more games. now because of the coronavirus I have a lot of extra time left so we set up a tilt arcade with my dad where we hold game nights and tournaments. we have about 20 pinball machines to play there. at the moment i am waiting for the coronavirus to end and the tournaments to start. I’m excited to look forward to the first ifpa world championships in Florida wherever I get. so I only had to buy one game but the seller warned that it wasn’t going to be enough. he was right
