It’s time to talk pinball, and who better to talk about the industry, the hobby, the rumours and the latest developments than the heads of three of the biggest pinball companies?

Join Jonathan from Pinball Magazine and Martin from Pinball News in this latest edition of their Pinball Industry News PINcast looking back at all the exciting news from the pinball world throughout the month of January 2024.

The duo got together for the EAG International Expo coin-op trade show in London to play the latest titles from seven different manufacturers, including two models of Stern Pinball’s newest game, Jaws. To find out more about how that game was created and the latest developments at Stern Pinball, they sat down with company Chairman, Gary Stern. You can hear their interview with Gary exclusively in this month’s PINcast.

American Pinball has been the subject of plenty of rumourmongering of late, much of it unfounded. To get at the facts, Jonathan and Martin talk to the company’s Executive Vice President, David Fix, to find out the steps being taken to bolster their customer support, how they are introducing a new board system into their future and previous games, when their next game might be announced, why the company definitely isn’t for sale, and much more.

While at the EAG International Expo, your PINcast hosts also got to sit down for dinner with head of Jersey Jack Pinball, Jack Guarnieri. Jack was there to promote his company’s Elton John and The Godfather games which were being exhibited and earning very favourable reactions from those who got to play them. You can hear that ‘Dinner with Jack’ exclusively in this month’s edition of the PINcast.

Plus, there is news from all the manufacturers exhibiting at the EAG show, including details of how pinball is re-joining the line-up of games at one large coin-op distributor and operator, and who might be behind a mysterious new upcoming game launch.

Meanwhile, there is news of a new appointment at Spooky Pinball, expected changes to This Is Spinal Tap, lots of new game add-ons now available and shipping to customers, and news of the first in a series of new miniature pinballs.

All this and much more is packed into the latest edition of the Pinball Industry News PINcast.
