## Transcript

A number Pinball Brothers' newest game, Queen, have been delivered in Europe over the past several months but to the best of my knowledge none of them have arrived in the United States...until now.

The first machine that I've seen here is now available for the public to play on location at the pinball distributor Cointaker's really cool arcade, located in Sunbury, Pennsylvania. I had an opportunity to visit Cointaker's location at their tailgate party last fall and I had a blast. I need to get back there one of these days.

The Midwest Pinball distributor, Great American Pinball also shared a picture of a Queen machine that it purchased from another distributor arriving at its warehouse yesterday.
