What would a place be with just Pinballs in it? The Broken Flipper is proud to have a diverse mix of arcade games to have a little something for everyone.
Our Arcade Games
We know that not everyone is crazy for pinballs, so we started picking up some arcade games for the space. First, we got a MAME cabinet, and then went to a warehouse to pickup our Area 51 Max Force, Cruis’n World, Arctic Thunder, and Zero Point. We picked up a Golden Tee 2021, and loved it so much that we sold that machine and went with a current generation PGA Edition, pictured above. Shortly after we picked up the Incredible Technologies Arcade Collection which has Target Toss Pro, Silver Strike Bowling, and Power Putt Mini-Golf.
Our Slot Machines
The slot machines at our location are not configured to take in and dispense real money. They have had their locks ripped off, so anybody can open them, and we have the Home Edition Ticket Printer for fun. The games are configured to the highest possible pay rate, so people can “win” more. We have a selection of many games you’ll remember from the casinos back in the day.
It is very important to all of us here that you understand that there is no such to get a edge on Slot Machines. We know many people who suffer from various levels of gambling addiction. Random number generators are just that… random. Don’t put money into a game that you cannot afford to lose. If you treat slot machines as entertainment, much like a child loading a card at an arcade, you’re better off.
Our Computer System
One of the coolest parts of our location is how our computers work. We have 10 gaming computers, built out of sensible parts. All feature Ryzen (2600 or 5500) processors with either Nvidia RTX 3060 or Radeon 6600XT cards. We have a windows domain structure for the computers, with traveling profiles. That means if you sign in on one computer and set up chrome and sign into your stuff, and you log out and go to another computer, it will load the same exact set up with you already signed into everything.
The only thing that doesn’t travel is the game files, but due to our caching server, 1gbps internet connection, mixed with our 10gbps/2.5gbps/1gbps network structure, it can handle all computers hammering our storage systems at once without a problem.
