This time, our journey takes us to The Pinball Lounge for their big Bonanza tournament. Oh, how I long to be more than just an observer in these tales of arcade glory!
The Bonanza Breakdown
On a clear, cool night in Oviedo, 32 pinball enthusiasts gathered under the neon lights of The Pinball Lounge, embarking on a six-round clash of skill, strategy, and a bit of pinball magic. With each round offering just one game to prove their mettle, the competition was as intense as my desire to join in the fun.

The tournament kicked off with a splash on Stern’s JAWS (Pro), where Tank Koscinski emerged as the shark among minnows. This fierce competition set the tone for the evening, with every participant eager to leave their mark on the leaderboard.
The Champions’ Roll Call
As the final ball drained, the cream of the crop rose to the top:
- Dawn Ziatyk: Dawn’s victory was a testament to her prowess, slicing through the competition with the precision of a well-flipped flipper.
- John Osborne: Coming in second, John’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, proving that rankings are just numbers waiting to be flipped on their heads.
- Tank Koscinski: Fresh off his Round 1 victory, Tank powered through to clinch third place, a true underdog story in the making.
- Daniel Gonzalez: Rounding out the top four, Daniel’s consistency and skill shone through, a beacon for all aspiring pinball wizards.
Mechanical Marvels of the Lounge
The Pinball Lounge was a veritable treasure trove of pinball wizardry, with machines like Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure taking players on a whirlwind adventure, and the high-flying action of Spider-Man (Vault Edition) leaving everyone in awe. Not to forget, Godzilla (Premium) unleashed city-stomping excitement, proving once again why Stern leads the pack in pinball innovation.
