STATE OF THE GAMES
Machine Condition & Playlist
We do our best to ensure only reasonably-working games are in the tournament playlist for Michigan Flippers tournaments.
All Michigan Flippers events are currently held at Pinball Pete’s in Ann Arbor, MI. We do not maintain the machines, but we do test them frequently! We’re striving to ensure malfunctions rarely impact gameplay in a meaningful way. To ensure this, we keep a log of all the pinball machines currently at the arcade, their status and whether they will be in the next tournament.
We update this list as often as possible, but machines lists are always subject to change before, during or after a tournament or session.
