At The Kickback Bar’s Nov. 14 Youth Pinball session, entering the tournament is not a prerequisite for taking part. The event starts with free play and welcomes visitors who would rather watch than compete.
The free-play and warmup period gives young players time to explore the machines and ask local league players for tips. That makes the session useful for newcomers as well as kids who already know their way around a pinball game.
The event-specific offer is at least 12 machines set for free play. The Kickback describes its overall collection as more than 100 pinball and arcade games, but that larger venue count is not a promise that every machine will be available in this session.
