Free Play Florida Retro Gaming Expo

About the event

Free Play Florida 2021 is a three day celebration of the history, artistry, competition, and creation of electronic gaming of all kinds driven by the enthusiastic gamers of the south east. Over 250 arcades, pinball games, consoles and countless things to learn, play and see! This November 19th thru the 21st, Free Play Florida is being held at the beautiful Caribe Royale Resort conveniently located off 417 at World Center Drive. All of your classic and current pinball and arcade games will be on display in the brand new 33,000 square foot Palms Ballroom, all set to free play! Join the pinball tournament and compete with the best in the state of Florida, sit in on our speaker panels that include industry icons, and visit our valued vendors selling games, memorabilia, and some of the coolest themed art on the planet! “Free Play” is defined as “a setting on a gaming machine that allows it to be played without quarters or tokens.” When you join us at Free Play Florida, your admission includes unlimited “Free Play” gaming on hundreds of machines, including your favorite classic arcade cabinets, some of the most popular pinball machines of the last several decades, many of the hottest new arcade titles, and - of course- access to all of the other amazing entertainment and educational options we’ve put together for you!
