We are absolutely looking forward to hosting Deeproot, Multimorphic, Marco, and a ton of other great manufacturers, vendors, and new artists this year! As we are a little over 3 months away now, we'll be ramping up the announcements and highlights for the show very soon and we certainly aim for it to be a fun time for everyone! While there will be some awesome reveals and announcements, the Houston show is first and foremost a celebration of everything pinball, arcade, console, and pop culture in general! You'll have plenty of chances to get on machines with minimal wait times and I guarantee you'll make some new friends in the hobby! There's a lot of Southern hospitality at this show!

Nevus, I definitely think there's a great chance you'll be able to play Wonka and for certain, JP!

Plenty of hotel rooms are still available at the show rate of only $89 / night!

If you make it into town Thursday, the party will kick off that night even though the show opens Friday @ Noon.

On behalf of all of us that put on the Houston Arcade Expo, I want to thank everyone that came to the show this past weekend!! It is a pleasure to meet so many new folks each year and I think we had more people come from out of state & country to visit us this year than ever before! For those that did, I sincerely hope that you all found the show and hotel accommodating and the people hospitable! That's how we roll here in Texas!

Just two years ago, the show was in a venue that was literally half the size of the current venue and when we moved over to the Houston Marriott Westchase last year with double the space, we thought that we were in excellent shape in terms of the amount of room we had moving forward - I am thrilled to say that this year, we truly utilized the exhibit hall to its fullest without making it too crowded and I am very excited to see how much more we might be able to expand the show by possibly utilizing the entire other wing of ballrooms on the other side of the hotel in future years!

We have always thought the Houston show has the potential to be a notable show and the "Best Arcade Party Ever" and that's not possible without the community's support so thank you all for giving our show a chance this year and we absolutely hope to see you again next year!

We are already planning on more games, more special guests, more live entertainment, more vendors, and hopefully even more of you will come down and party with us! The show and Space City Open tournament were a huge success this weekend because of the amazing collector community we have here in Houston and because of the tremendous support of our friends from Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Beaumont, and Louisiana! We had over 400 games present because of these awesome people!

I also want to give a huge shout out to some of our most prominent exhibitors that have long supported the show - Joystix Classic Games & Pinballs, Marco Specialties, Titan Pinball, Multimorphic, Rob Anthony, The Game Preserve, and to Deeproot Pinball for their sponsorship and for allowing us to host the RAZA early-reveal.

Thanks everyone! See you all in November 2020!
