Company History

Founded in 1945, Valley® has spent more than 70 years as the industry leader in the coin-operated pool table market. Valley, also created, the non-profit and highly competitive, international amateur Pool Association called Valley National 8-Ball League Association also known as the VNEA. Players from all over the world qualify through their local Amusement Companies to compete in the annual week-long VNEA World Pool Championships held each year in Las Vegas, Nevada.
1970
Founded in 1973 in Dallas, Texas by William Rickett, Dynamo entered the amusement game manufacturing industry by introducing foosball tables. After a short period of time and a great deal of success, Dynamo began building coin-operated pool tables and eventually coin operated Air Hockey tables. Today, the Dynamo Air Hockey brand is considered the best built most respected table in the world.

These tables are sold world-wide and are available to be fully customized, including your choice of wood species, pockets, legs, sites, cloth and stain color to match most environments.
1988
Founded in 1988 by Kelye Stites, Champion Shuffleboard began at a time when shuffleboard as a game was in a period of decline. By evolving the game with the polymer coated playfield the company was able to dominate the world shuffleboard market for a time. As a testament to the value of this innovation his design has been replicated by most manufacturers across the globe. Today, Champion is still the largest manufacturer of shuffleboard tables world-wide.
