Wormhole Pinball is a Houston, Texas-based pinball arcade venue that operated 20+ machines and served as a significant hub in the local pinball community. The venue hosted tech nights on Wednesdays, JBS Show recordings, and major events including the 2025 Twippies awards ceremony. The arcade closed in 2025 due to owner divorce and asset division complications, making it unavailable for hosting the 2026 Twippies ceremony.

Wormhole Pinball has hosted 87 Monday night game streams featuring different machines, with 10-12 participants and $2 entry fee
