This was the first version before the casino changed it.

That needs to be a on a t-shirt, just saying.

Over 30 machines.... Thought they had a sh!+ load of tables?

They have an annex loaction at the Riviera.

The riviera is on the strip.
The actual hall of fame is on tropicana, well off the strip. There are lots of games there but you need a cab to get there. Or bus.
condition of games at both locations is sub par.

All I know is I'd wear that on a shirt. Well minus the strip annex part.

You don't like Angus on AC/DC and you feel that logo is fine art? Okay.

It looks like bad clip art. It fits with Tim's low budget operation. It's cheap looking. I'd wear a Bieber shirt before I'd wear a shirt with that logo on it.

Walk thru from my last trip...

that was cool, thanks for posting

I'd pay to see that!!

This must be his head of Marketing.

I just got back from PHOF (main one, not annex). Just like any arcade, it's a crapshoot whether a game is going to play well or not. All of the games are pretty clean, though. Broken plastics and toys are common, though. I tried BBH, and the buck was stuck in the middle of the PF and didn't register hits. My girlfriend played POTC and the ship didn't work. Almost all of WOZ's lights were out except for a cluster near the ramp. Many games were turned off. Punchy the Clown was working PERFECTLY! Still, there were a lot of people there and it was a ton of fun. I don't think I'd ever played a nice Indy 500 before, and the one at the PHOF was working great. Champ Pub worked great. There was one guy playing T2 for 2 hours...every time the ball went into the cannon, he'd shimmy to the side of the machine to "line up" the shot. So - yeah, too bad if you wanted to play the game next to him lol. They have this really cool head-to-head game where the entire playfield will tilt back and forth so each player gets a chance at having the playfield slanted at them. Crazy. Tim has LED'd most of the games, and they look pretty horrible. I'm an LED fan, he just doesn't know how to do it right. The WH2O topper is all blue...lol.

FINALLY got to play Pinball Circus! Woohooo! Last time I went to PHOF, it wasn't working (shut off). This time it was working...well, momentarily - it was off about an hour later. Poor PB Circus

This iconic pose of Tim is what I'd like to see on a T-shirt.

Tim's games are in routed condition but they all, for the most part play great. You take care of 8 games he has to maintain how many?? Everybody should be happy that something like the PHOF exists and not say anything negative.

Woz LEDs were out??? I'm shocked!!

From what I gather Tim is also a very generous guy towards many different charities. Maybe a little less negativity from his fellow pinheads.

Yeah, all things considered, it's a super cool place - there aren't many like it. If a few games are off, there are plenty on to play - and weird stuff you'll never see anywhere else. It's not fair to critique it as though the games should be like our private HUO ones.

Reminds me of the NBA logo (and the various knockoffs other sports have used).
