LONGMONT, Colo. The same pandemic that caused video game sales to soar has put arcades on the brink of bankruptcy.
Bob Burnham owns Paradise Pinball & Amusements. His company owns and maintains pinball machines, video games, and pool tables at bars and restaurants across Colorado.
Only 3 of his 45 locations are open.
âWe are directly tied to the restaurants and the bars. When they are closed down, we are closed down,â Burnham said.
