Pinball Leagues in PA

Carlisle Sports Emporium is excited to announce the newest additions to The Place to Play — premium-level pinball machines from Stern Pinball, Inc. In the world of pinball, Stern Pinball is the oldest and most respected, designer and manufacturer of arcade-quality pinball games. Carlisle Sports Emporium is thrilled to partner with the team at Stern Pinball to bring some of their best pinball machines to our Harrisburg, PA, location, as well as become a part of the local pinball league scene in PA.

The Newest Additions to Carlisle Sports Emporium

For players of all experience levels, from competitive pinball league members to weekend enthusiasts, our premium-level pinball machines will deliver lasting thrills. They’ll also recall your favorite movie and television characters, from Luke Skywalker to Batman to Groot.

The following three premium-level pinball machines will soon be part of the Carlisle Sports Emporium arcade:

  • Batman 66: The Batman 66 Premium captures the nostalgia of the 1960s television series “Batman,” with voiceovers from the leading cast members, Adam West and Burt Ward, as well as campy fun. The design comes from a Hall of Fame team at Stern Pinball, resulting in a pinball machine with high-definition graphics and eye-catching animations that include scenes from the TV series.
  • Guardians of the Galaxy: The Guardians of the Galaxy Premium delivers all the edge-of-your-seat excitement and laugh-out-loud humor of the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movies and comics. The distinct design features an interactive Groot that will gobble up your ball and an interactive Rocket that will launch it back at you. Choose from eight different play modes when your friends or competitive pinball league opponents stop by and immerse yourselves in the high-fidelity sound system.
  • Star Wars: The Star Wars Premium returns you to the original trilogy, as you fight against the Empire as either Han, Leia, Luke or R2-D2. The out-of-this-galaxy design features a molded Millenium Falcon and TIE Fighter, as well as a Death Star that explodes when you complete one of the corresponding missions. Play through 16 different missions to the music of John Williams and find yourself in a galaxy far, far away.

With the addition of our pinball arcade, the Carlisle Sports Emporium is thrilled to offer locals and visitors a new way to escape on the weekends and weekdays.

The Local Competitive Pinball Leagues in PA

With a passionate team of pinball players, as well as in-house catering and private event options, it’s convenient to plan and host a tournament for competitive pinball leagues throughout the area at this venue.

In recent years, interest in pinball has skyrocketed, with 500 players and 50 competitions in 2006 increasing to 55,000 players and 4500 competitions in 2017. The Carlisle Sports Emporium is looking forward to becoming a part of the pinball community in Pennsylvania by providing pinball enthusiasts and PA pinball leagues, like River City Pinball, a place to play and connect with fellow players.
