About Us

Metro West Pinball, LLC is a boutique pinball operator headquartered in Bolton, Massachusetts and operating several locations in Metro West and Central Massachusetts. Metro West Pinball was started by two neighbors who started shopping for their own home pinball machines and decided they could have a lot more pinball machines by starting their own business!

Our specialty is turnkey pinball operations (setup, maintenance, collection, reporting, advertising, and more). We literally do it all. You supply the location and we do the rest.

Our competitive advantages include a program customized to your location, focus on the best user experience possible, leader boards, and we play our own machines, so we know what condition they are in! A clean appearance and flawless play are our obsessions.

There is no better reference than seeing for yourself. Visit our locations at the Acton Bowladrome (Acton, Massachusetts) and the Bayberry Bowladrome (Spencer, Massachusetts) to see our pinball machines in action.

Metro West hosts league events and tournaments at the Acton location. Relevant pinball organizations include:

New England Pinball League
(NEPL)
NEPLNEPL is an organized pinball league. The schedule consists of 8 weekly sessions and a playoff final. The NEPL was founded on the
principles of not only being an equal opportunity league but also an equitable opportunity league for all skill levels.

Check out our events calendar for our Acton hosted NEPL schedule.
Northeast Pinball Challenge
(NPC)
NPC“Northeast Pinball Challenge is a collaboration of leagues at the locations all over the Northeast. While the leagues are run and administered locally, the champions of the leagues are invited to participate in the NPC Team and Individual Finals to compete in glory not only for themselves — but for the locations that got them there!”

In the Summer of 2025, Metro West Pinball hosted the Northeast Pinball Challenge tournament at the Acton Bowladrome. Four of our players went to the finals: Ben, Noah, Joe and Wyatt, and they took home the bacon! See the trophy in the Bowladrome’s pinball room.
