Why Locals Choose This Option

When you walk in, you exchange your cash for quarters at the counter, grab a cup, and head to the machines. Most games cost one or two quarters per play, and the arcade keeps a rotating mix of classic and newer titles on the floor. Pinball Pete's has built a strong reputation in East Lansing over the years, attracting students, families, and longtime fans of coin-operated gaming.

Redemption games print tickets based on your performance, and those tickets can be redeemed at the prize counter for anything from candy to large stuffed animals or specialty items. You can save your tickets indefinitely, and receipts are valid at both locations, so you can build up your total over multiple visits. The prize counters vary in size and quantity, offering a wide range of options.

Billiards tables are located toward the back of the arcade, providing a calmer space if you want to take a break from the lights and sounds of the other games. The cash-only setup keeps transactions fast, and the ATM is available if you need to withdraw funds on-site.
