We are back for year three at a new location. The Expo is taking place at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville November 9-11, 2018. That is just a couple of miles from downtown Nashville.

The Grand Ole Gameroom Expo is a public event for gamers of all ages. Join us for a weekend packed with over 200 arcade and pinball games all set to free play. Play classic arcade games, classic pinball, and the latest pinball games. We also have air hockey, skeeball, and other family friendly games.

We are happy to be working with Marco Specialties, Flip N Out Pinball, and Music City Pinball to bring the latest pinball games to the show.

The Expo also features over 80 game consoles spanning the Atari 2600 to the latest Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, and Playstation VR. There are multiple tournaments for casual players and competitive players on games like Super Smash Bros.

This year we are adding "best in show" awards for the best games brought out by collectors. Plus when you bring a game to the expo you get a free weekend pass. Games brought must remain till the show closes on Sunday.

The Music City Match Play tournament will be taking place during the expo. Our pinball tournament last year had over 60 players and was the highest point IFPA tournament in Tennessee. We expect it to grow again this year so don't miss it.

We hope to see you there.

If you are in the market for a new pinball machine and want to save money there are a few options for buying a new machine at the expo, but you need to order soon.

Marco Specialties and Music City Pinball are offering special pricing on new Stern games. You get a game that was opened new and played during the weekend at a significant discount. You take it home at the end of the show on Sunday at 4pm. Plus they set it up and work out all of the kinks at the show before you take it home. It is the best way to buy a new game.
