Long Island's top pinball buyer, born and raised in Ronkonkoma

M.A.D. Arcades is owner-operated by Andrew Slionski, a Ronkonkoma native who’s spent his entire life around pinball machines and arcade games. What started as a personal obsession in 2016 turned into Long Island’s busiest pinball buying and selling operation, with over 500 machines bought, sold, refurbished, and delivered across the Northeast. No call center. No middlemen. When you call, you get Andrew.

A Family Operation

Owner-operated. Family-built. Pinball-obsessed.

M.A.D. Arcades isn't a corporate showroom or a national flipper running freight from out-of-state. It's Drew Slionski, his kids in the shop on the weekends, and 500+ pinball machines that have come through 256 Pearl Street since 2017.

When you call, you get Drew. When the truck rolls up, Drew's driving it. When you stop by the shop, his kids might be the ones playing the machine you came to look at.

A Letter From Drew

Hear it from the owner.

When you call M.A.D. Arcades, you're talking to Drew. So we figured the best way to introduce the business is to let him do it himself.

From the Founder
Drew Slionski
Owner, M.A.D. Arcades and Pinball

My name is Drew, and I'm the founder of M.A.D. Arcades and Pinball. Back in 2017, I decided to turn my hobby for pinball and arcade games into a business. What began as a passion has grown into something much bigger. Today, I specialize in buying, selling, refurbishing, and repairing pinball machines and arcade games of all kinds, from classic titles to modern gems.

At M.A.D. Arcades and Pinball, we take fun seriously.

Whether you're a collector looking for that perfect addition to your game room, a business owner wanting to add some retro excitement, or someone who just needs reliable repairs, I'm here to make it happen.

If you share the same love for blinking lights, flippers, and high scores, I'd love to help you find or fix the perfect machine.

Passion Handed Down

Same machines. Next generation.

Drew grew up around pinball. Boardwalk arcades, pizza shops, bowling alleys, the local fun centers on Long Island. The sound of flippers and the glow of a CRT was wired into his DNA from the start. In 2017, he turned that obsession into M.A.D. Arcades.

Nine years later, his kids are growing up the same way he did. Hanging around the shop, watching machines come apart and go back together, learning the difference between an electromechanical and a solid-state from the time they could read the score reels.

"My kids are in the shop almost every weekend. They know these machines as well as some of my customers do. That's the kind of business I wanted to build."

Drew Slionski, Founder

That's not a marketing line. It's the actual environment you walk into when you call M.A.D. Arcades. A small, family-run pinball operation in Ronkonkoma where the owner answers the phone, the machines get treated like the pieces of history they are, and the next generation is already learning the trade.

Why Local Roots Matter

A Long Island guy who knows Long Island.

There's a reason you don't want to ship a pinball machine to a stranger three states away. Pinball is heavy, fragile, complicated, and full of little quirks that only someone who actually handles them every week understands.

Drew has lived in Ronkonkoma his whole life. He knows the basements in Massapequa. He knows what a finished basement in Bay Shore looks like before he gets there. He knows the Hamptons traffic patterns in summer and how to schedule around them. He knows the Gold Coast estate cleanouts and the Nassau County downsizers. The Northeast is his backyard.

Local market knowledge. Real pricing. Not whatever a national flipper is paying that week.
Real geography. Drew shows up in his own truck. He's not coordinating freight from Nevada.
Community trust. Nine years in the same town means the same name on every job.
What We Actually Do

Four real services. No filler.

M.A.D. Arcades is a full-service pinball and arcade operation. Buying, selling, repair, and game room delivery. Every service runs through Drew, and every service has a real page with real detail.

The Proof

What 500+ machines actually means.

Volume isn't a marketing claim for us. It's the product of nine years of pickups, deliveries, restorations, and cash deals. Here's how that 500+ breaks down across the operation.

How We Work

Owner-operated means owner-on-the-truck.

A lot of pinball companies route you through call centers, freight forwarders, or out-of-state middlemen. We don't. When you call M.A.D. Arcades, you get Drew. When the truck shows up, Drew's driving it. Here's the difference.

Big Pinball Brokers

  • Call center reps who don't know pinball
  • Freight forwarders shipping cross-country
  • Pricing tied to national flipper margins
  • No accountability when something goes wrong
  • Months between offer and pickup
  • Buyer never sees the machine in person

M.A.D. Arcades

  • Drew answers the phone every time
  • Our own truck, our own equipment, our own team
  • Real Long Island and Northeast pricing
  • Same name, same person, same cell number
  • Most pickups scheduled within the same week
  • Drew personally inspects every machine
Where We Cover

Long Island roots. Northeast reach.

The truck rolls out of Ronkonkoma and works the whole region. Long Island is home, but we run regular routes across five other states.

Drew's Top Priority

If you're selling a pinball machine, we want it.

The reason M.A.D. Arcades exists is simple. Drew built this business to find pinball machines and put them back into game rooms where people actually play them. That mission hasn't changed in nine years.

"If you've got a pinball machine in your basement, garage, attic, or storage unit, working or not, I want to talk to you. Cash on the spot. Real Long Island pricing. I'll come pick it up myself."

Common Questions

Things people ask about M.A.D. Arcades.

The most common questions about who we are, how long we've been around, and why people choose us over other pinball buyers.

Q 01 · About

Who actually runs M.A.D. Arcades?

Drew Slionski. He founded the business in 2017, runs every aspect of the operation, picks up the phone when you call, and shows up to pickups personally. Owner-operated isn't a marketing line. It's just how we work.

Q 02 · History

How long have you been in business?

Nine years as of 2026. M.A.D. Arcades was founded in Ronkonkoma in 2017 and has been operating from the same Long Island base ever since. Drew has personally lived in Ronkonkoma his entire life, so the local roots go even deeper than the business itself.

Q 03 · Volume

Have you really handled 500+ machines?

Yes. Across nine years, we've bought, sold, restored, and delivered well over 500 pinball machines. Some came from estate cleanouts, some from collectors selling out, some from sellers who just needed cash and a fast pickup. Volume builds expertise.

Q 04 · Coverage

Why work with someone on Long Island instead of a national company?

Pinball machines are heavy, fragile, and full of mechanical quirks that don't survive cross-country freight well. A local operator drives the truck, knows the area, and can quote real pricing instead of national flipper margins. Plus, when something needs follow-up, you've got a person to call. See our coverage area.

Q 05 · Buying

What kinds of pinball machines do you buy?

All of them. Working or not. Vintage electromechanical, solid-state classics, modern Sterns. Single machines or full collections. Estate situations, basement finds, garage cleanouts. Any condition is the message and it's accurate.

Q 06 · Trust

How do I know you're a real business?

Real address: 256 Pearl Street in Ronkonkoma. Real phone: 631-652-9911. Real owner: Drew Slionski. Nine years in business at the same location. You can call, you can stop by, you can ask for references. We're a small, local, single-owner operation, which is exactly the point.
