If you are looking for a great place to buy pinball machines, I highly recommend coming here. They have a lot of great arcade machines. I had such a great experience buying from this place and I look forward in doing business with them in the future.

I live in Palm beach gardens and literally live about 5 min from a distributor, however I have absolutely zero issues with driving 45 min to an hour to deal and continue to develop a relationship with Arcade Game Sales. The owner is a hobbyist in arcade and pinball himself and boy does it come through with his attitude and knowledge!! He is not a hard salesman and super honest. He really just wants you to walk away happy with your purchase. He is also the only distributor I know of that truly holds a year warranty and will abide and stand by it!!!! I have dealt with some where there was zero assistance given even though they mentioned backing it with a warranty! I have now purchased 2 games and could not be happier. This is not only my go to for pinball and arcade, it really should easily be yours! I put a pre order for Godfather CE with him and can not wait to get the call to pick it up!

This shop is an important piece in video game history. The owner helped Billy Mitchell, the "King of Kong", cheat his high score in Donkey Kong with modified arcade hardware.

This place is THE BEST! It’s a trip back in time and it’s beautiful. It’s loaded with every arcade game and pinball machine you grew up playing or maybe just discovered. Robert (the owner) is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I could walk around that store for hours! I highly recommend for any repairs you might need on your machine or if you’re in the market to buy a quality Arcade Game/Pinball Machine.

This place is AWESOME! The staff here knows everything there is to know about pinball machines and classic arcade games. The showroom in Oakland Park, FL has a huge selection of games to play and test out before you order, and if they don't have it in stock they can always get it for you. They also host Retro Arcade Game Night every few months that are always a good time! Overall an amazing place for any video game lover!

Absolutely amazing experience. From the minute I walked in, Robert (the owner) was about as friendly and accommodating as you could get. He told me to go ahead and try out any games for as long as I like. I told him what I was looking for (specifically Galaga) and he said hey had 3 options: Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga, a Cabinet with 60 games and a Commercial Cabinet with 60 games. I ended up going with the Commercial Cabinet with 60 games. It's a little more solid and the screen is at more of an angle like the original game. It's a few hundred dollars more but WELL worth it. I told him I was looking for the original Galaga stickers as well and he said had them and it wouldn't be a problem to put them on. I also told him I like the fire button (this cabinet comes with 3 buttons) to be on the far right and they re-programmed it. I ended up talking with Steven (the Genius that somehow knows how to program and fix all of the video and pinball games) for a while. I learned a lot and had a great conversation with him. If you ever go there, have him bring you to the back room so you can see just how complex a pinball machine is. Robert delivered my game the next day. I felt like a kid in a candy store when he started to unload it. He plugged it in and it started right up and I've been playing it nonstop and couldn't be happier with my purchase. What makes the delivery even better is we started talking about Billy Mitchell (I was wearing my Donkey Kong shirt). I've been a fan of Billy for a long time. He said "hold on a second." He grabs his phone and calls Billy Mitchell and we start talking about Donkey Kong, Pac-Man and life in general. It was an unexpected, pleasant surprise and icing on the cake! The game comes with a 3 year warranty so I have that security of knowing it's covered if anything should happen. Even after 3 years if something goes wrong, I wouldn't have anyone else work on it besides them. He also told me I can bring the kids by anytime to play any of the machines. He's just a great guy and very trustworthy. I'm saving up for my Black Knight Pinball and I wouldn't go anywhere else to buy it. He's the kind of guy you WANT to do business with. About as genuine as they come. I'll be a loyal customer for life and I can guarantee if you meet him and do business with him, you'll feel the same way. Thank you again for making this 50 year-old man feel like a teenager again!

Awesome place! I purchased a multi-game arcade unit and could not be happier. The owner is very nice, answered all my questions, and dropped off the machine no problems. Highly recommend!

I did a reasonably complex deal with Rob, where I bought an awesome Twilight Zone that he had, and in return he consigned my fully restored Funhouse. I was nervous at first, having never done business in South Florida, but everything worked out soooo smoothly. Rob is so awesome and easy to deal with.

I love this place. I bought my Deadpool pinball here. Came with a one-year warranty. parts and labor included. Which over exceeds everyone else’s warranty system . Will gladly buy another pinball from here no problem

I called Ft Lauderdale Pinball looking to buy a Miss Pacman for my brother who is ill and always wanted one. The owner and his staff are so professional and friendly! They just said walk in game room and try them all, after having a blast I bought the Table top multi game machine, and really wanted to get it to my brothers house today... they ended up making an acception and the driver Mathew loaded up the game and followed us home, unloaded , setup the game and took the time to teach us how to operate it. If your looking to buy one of your childhood dream machines and want a safe hassle free purchase.. buy from Fort Lauderdale Pinball you will be happy you dealt with them

For anyone that is looking for outstanding classic original games or the newer style multicade style games, hands down i would recommend Rob Childs at Arcade Game Sales. From the time that i arrived at their game showroom and arcade in Fort Lauderdale i was impressed with the selection of different table tops and pinball machines. They actually even had a punching machine and several basketball shooting games to choose from as well. When I arrived, it was a no pressure all out gaming session as I was allowed to play and try out the games before buying. Since I've been connected with them on Facebook I have received invitations to an awesome event they have, Arcade Game Night. It's every so often at their location and you can play unlimited classic games / etc. in an awesome setting with a really cool crowd. It was so much fun getting into a foosball battle with a bunch a bunch of passersby! I ended up buying a tabletop and a Galaga machine and i couldnt be happier. My "Man Cave" is now complete. If only i had enough room for a Basketball Shooter!
