Virtual Pinball Machine

Hire From £495.

What the Virtual Pinball Machine Is

It's a full-size pinball cabinet where the playfield and the backglass are both screens rather than a fixed mechanical table, which means the one machine holds hundreds of pinball games at once. Ours is a Multipin cabinet, the same sort sold for the home through Liberty Games, and you'll see it listed elsewhere as a digital pinball or virtual pinball machine. The flippers, the ball-launch plunger and the speakers are all real - you pull the plunger to put the ball into play and work the flipper buttons the way you would on any machine - but the table you're playing is on the display, so it can be The Addams Family one minute and Medieval Madness the next.

The library runs from seventies and eighties classics through to nineties tables and modern designs. The photos here show it loaded with The Addams Family, Judge Dredd, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Cirqus Voltaire and Bride of Pinbot, among others. The backglass screen carries each table's own artwork and a matrix-style score readout in the rear casing, so it reads like the real thing from across a room. It's set to free play, so nobody needs change or a token to have a go.

Since 1999 we've been hiring games out of Sheffield, and the pinball cabinet is one of ours - 95% of the range is owned outright and kept in a 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham, five minutes off the M1. If you want more than the pinball on a stand, we carry over 600 products across 68 categories, so it's one booking, one invoice and one point of contact. Every hire includes £5 million public liability insurance, with risk assessments and method statements emailed to you or your venue before the event.

Where It Works Well

  • Exhibition Stands and Trade Shows

  • Brand Activations and Product Launches

  • Corporate Events and Christmas Parties

  • University and Freshers Events

  • Private Parties and Games Rooms

  • Hospitality and Games Corners

Why It Holds Up on a Stand

A single table only ever gives people one game, and a true mechanical machine is heavy and fixed to whatever it came with. Because this one is digital, you get the variety of a whole arcade in one footprint, and visitors tend to stay and cycle through a few tables rather than have one go and wander off - which keeps somebody at your stand long enough for your team to start a conversation. It recognises the names too, so a passer-by who grew up with Star Trek: The Next Generation or The Addams Family will stop without being asked.

It's gone out to corporate events and exhibition stands alongside our other arcade kit, including the digital jukebox, the retro arcade machines and the Atari Pong table, so we can build a full games corner rather than drop in a single item. Amazon have had it out at their events, branded up for Prime Day, which is the sort of thing the cabinet takes well.

Header branding From £69

A Repeat Supplier for Corporate Events

The pinball machine goes out to corporate events all over the UK, and Amazon are among the clients we supply on an ongoing basis. Anais from Amazon said: "The team are amazing, attentive and quick to get things up and running. We have the best time at our events with some of the games and it makes planning events so much easier. We have used them for years here at Amazon events."

We hold a 5/5 rating across more than 200 Google reviews, and we own and maintain 95% of what we hire out, so there's no third-party supplier between you and the kit when something needs sorting on the day.

Common Questions

How many pinball tables are on the machine?

Hundreds. Because the playfield and backglass are screens rather than a fixed mechanical table, the one Multipin cabinet holds a whole library, from seventies and eighties classics through to nineties tables like The Addams Family and Medieval Madness and on to modern designs. Players pick a table from the menu and the artwork and scoring change to match.

Do players need coins or tokens to play?

No. We set the machine to free play, so there's nothing to feed in and nobody's hunting for change. People just choose a table and pull the plunger to start.

How is this different from a real pinball machine?

The flippers, the plunger and the speakers are all real, so it plays and feels like a proper cabinet, but the table itself is on a digital playfield with a second screen in the backglass for the artwork and score. That's what lets one machine hold hundreds of tables instead of the single game a mechanical pinball is built around.
