Owner Ryan Wanger, a pinball enthusiast and expert (by Kathleen Spring) History of Lyons Classic Pinball It was a “classics” event which had players on games from 1985 or earlier. In February there were 64 people playing at the same event. This year he has participated in a few large tournaments. But now, the more adventurous Ryan said that “it was the least interesting thing about the trip.” The country is a big pinball tournament place. Between his businesses and his participation in tournaments, they take him to places like Australia (last summer). He also runs a business selling LED lights for pinball machines. Ryan has found a friendly and competent manager so he is able to travel. Despite that, he played seven events this year, and he qualified for the state championships, which takes the top 20 scores from events played in Colorado. But, he is older now and wants to enjoy a wider array of life pleasures and has cut back on his playing. The owner, Ryan Wanger, once played the games constantly and racked up many winning trophies. People can find upcoming tournaments in their area listed here: The next World Championship hasn’t been announced but it will almost certainly be in Riverside, California in January of 2024.
The prize pool was just over $100,000, spread across seven different events, with the largest prize at $15,000. He was officially crowned the “current World Champion” in the recent California tournament. It is the second time he has won first place in a World Championship with the last time being when he was 13 years old.

Escher Lefkoff lives in Longmont, and has been coming here with his dad, Adam, since he was three years old. The #1 ranked player in the world plays regularly in Lyons Pinball. The IFPA World Championship later took place in Southern California. The winners were Jordan Dechaine, Denver, and Cassie Begay, Denver. Also, it was the first time that the Women’s State Championship took place in Colorado. Persons participating had to qualify in Colorado, and have the top scores. The owner downplays the prestigious honor of having the State Tournament here, by explaining that three places in Colorado rotate the competition venue.
