THIS WEEK'S ARCADE & PINBALL NEWS - 3/31/2022

Better early than late. That's what I tell my boys whenever they need to get ready to go to one of their games. Tomorrow is going to be a pretty busy day for me, so rather than release this week's arcade and pinball news on April Fool's Day or worse...late, here it is a day early. As an added bonus, publishing today saves me from having to think up some sort of trick LOL. Last weekend brought us the Texas Pinball Festival. The seminars at the show contained all sorts of interesting information. Here's summaries of the major ones and all sorts of other cool industry news. Enjoy!
