## Transcript

This may be a first in the pinball industry. Lots of pinball manufacturers have their own Facebook pages, Instagram pages and YouTube channels but I don't believe that any has its own Twitch channel yet. This morning Spooky Pinball officially unveiled its new Twitch channel.

This Friday at 4:00 PM Central time, Spooky Pinball's Bug will launch the channel with the company's first Twitch livestream. The Spooky team will hang out, answer viewer questions and stream Spooky's first ever game America's Most Haunted. I'm going to have to tune in for that.
