The Pinball Arcade

The Pinball Arcade is a pinball video game developed by FarSight Studios (and mostly released by FarSight). The game is a simulated collection of real pinball tables originally produced and later licensed by Gottlieb, Williams, Bally, and Stern Pinball. Additional tables have been and will be published as downloadable content (DLC) each and every month.

When The Pinball Arcade was originally released for iOS devices, the price was $4 (U. S.) for four included tables. However, since then, the interface was greatly revamped, as individual tables are available for free limited demo play on Android, iOS, Kindle Fire, Ouya, PlayStation platforms, and Steam. Each demo table has a scoring threshold that will end the game if reached, although there is the option to purchase the table (or entire seasons) for free play afterwards. In addition, every month, an ad-supported select table is available for unlimited free play until the next table add-on pack is released. The table of the month is only available on Android, iOS, OS X and Steam.
