NATIONAL TREASURE: The 'Pinball Museum', so called 'Flipper Gallery' in Budapest, is set to close down.

BUDAPEST: The owner of Europe's largest pinball museum said he would close the facility next month after falling foul of strict regulations on gaming arcades and casinos. 

Balazs Palfi, founder of the popular Pbal Gallery, which is housed in the dingy basement of a Budapest apartment building, said tax authorities were investigating him on suspicion of breaking Hungary's strict rules on revenue from gaming machines.
