| 5/2/25 | ![]() Pinball Magazine & Pinball News PINcast April 2025 recap | It’s the battle of the big beasts this month with two mammoth new game launches and a third poised to be revealed. So, Jonathan from Pinball Magazine and Martin from Pinball News are back to bring you all the details in April’s Pinball Industry News PINcast.The first beast into the arena was the Sandworm from Barrels of Fun’s new Dune game.

Kong wreaks havoc, of course, aided by a giant spider as he blocks the balls and smashes a subway car to release the locked balls inside.The third beast is the elephant-in-the-room that is Jersey Jack Pinball’s upcoming Harry Potter game. With manufacturing already underway at the company’s Elk Grove Village factory, what will be the impact when we get the official release, expected later this month?Also looming large over the industry is the effect of trade tariffs – imposed, planned or threatened. Pinball manufacturers are taking their own approaches to the price increases on buying components and shipping complete games, while others are taking a wait-and-see approach.

| 11/4/24 | ![]() Pinball Magazine & Pinball News PINcast October 2024 recap | This month’s PINcast comes from the Dutch Pinball Open Expo and marks a unique moment as, for the first time ever, Jonathan from Pinball Magazine and Martin from Pinball News present their monthly Pinball Industry News PINcast while actually together at the same desk. Plus, they bring in two special guests, with David van Es from Barrels of Fun and Daniel Janson from Pinball Brothers, both of whom have some exciting news to share. However, as you’ll hear, not everything went entirely to plan. October’s Pinball Industry News largely revolved around the 40th anniversary Pinball Expo, the manufacturers stands, their seminar presentations and their factory tours. Dutch Pinball Exclusive, having revealed their Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland title earlier in the month, premiered the now sold-out game at Pinball Expo with three machines on their stand for guests to play, and also held a seminar about the making of the game. Meanwhile, Stern Pinball, off the back of announcing their The Uncanny X-Men brought out another new title with Metallica Remastered – an updated and enhanced version of their 2013 Metallica game. They premiered this on their Pinball Expo factory tour and then brought it to their stand at the show, along with a seminar by the game’s designer John Borg. There were multiple talks at Pinball Expo from the pinball makers explaining how they created their latest releases, including Avatar: The Battle for Pandora, The Uncanny X-Men, John Wick and Jaws, along with tours of Stern Pinball, Jersey Jack Pinball, American Pinball and Chicago Gaming. Naturally, Jonathan and Martin were both there to report on the excitement and bring you video recordings of the key seminars. Then, a fortnight later, they reunited in Veldhoven in the Netherlands for the 25th anniversary Dutch Pinball Open Expo from where they recorded this latest October 2024 edition of the Pinball Magazine and Pinball News PINcast – the podcast the pinball industry listens to. Unfortunately, without access to their normal recording equipment, the quality of the sound isn’t up to their usual standard, but they hope you can bear with them for this one-off special recording.

| 10/2/24 | ![]() Pinball Magazine & Pinball News PINcast September 2024 recap | Can you believe it’s already the start of another new month? The good news is that a new month means a new Pinball Industry News PINcast with Jonathan Joosten from Pinball Magazine and Martin Ayub from Pinball News. Having covered the first few days of the month in the previous PINcast, the duo look back on all the excitement from the pinball world throughout the remainder of September. After numerous teases, Jersey Jack Pinball finally announced their tenth game with the launch of Avatar: The Battle for Pandora. Featuring six flippers, three under-playfield areas and numerous wireforms criss-crossing the playfield, perhaps the greatest innovation is the use of UV-reactive ink across the playfield, plastics, inserts and sculpts. There’s also a first-time pinball artist who created the playfield, cabinet and backbox art package, as well as a musician who composed the music for his first ever production pinball. To find out much more about them and the rest of the game, Jonathan and Martin are joined by the game’s designer, Mark Seiden. Having launched their latest title just a few days earlier, Stern Pinball have been busy building and promoting their The Uncanny X-Men with video streams of gameplay along with a number of changes based on audience feedback. The company has been busy in Europe too, attending the IAAPA Europe event en masse, as well as hosting an evening with Gary Stern at the Dutch Pinball Museum. October is Pinball Expo month, so this latest PINcast looks ahead at what we can expect from all the major players at the show. There’s also full details of the extensive seminar schedule and how you can get to enjoy all the main talks even if you can’t be there in person.

| 8/2/24 | ![]() Pinball Magazine & Pinball News PINcast July 2024 recap | The summer months are traditionally a quiet time for news in the pinball industry. Not so this year, so join Jonathan Joosten from Pinball Magazine and Martin Ayub from Pinball News as they bring you all the excitement from the pinball world in the latest edition of their Pinball Industry News PINcast. July’s news is dominated by the collapse of Haggis Pinball and the disappearance of the company’s head Damian Hartin along with any remaining stock and machines. With no assets left and millions of Australian dollars in debts, anyone who paid Haggis directly for a Fathom or Centaur remake is left at the back of a long line of creditors. Happier news from Stern Pinball, as they both announce a new black-and-white anniversary edition of their Godzilla title and also celebrate the well-deserved retirement of Art Director, Greg Freres. Meanwhile a famous face pays a visit to the Stern Pinball stand at the San Diego ComiCon to play the game in which he stars. Who could that be? That’s not the only time that happens this month though, as down in Austin a certain “Weird Al” pops up at the Multimorphic stand to visit his Museum of Natural Hilarity game. There’s news of two pinball machine giveaways – one from Stern and one from American Pinball. Get all the details and find out how you can be in with a chance of winning either or both. Pedretti Pinball are shipping both models of their Funhouse remake, while Pinball Brothers are shipping both versions of their ABBA game - all from the same factory - while in Topperland Pinball Brothers have shipped all their pre-order Alien toppers and Spooky Pinball has done the same with their Scooby-Doo toppers. Both now have extra stock for immediate delivery if you’d still like one. Pinball Adventures are taking a step back as they look to bring the fun back to pinball making and make it less of a chore. Find out what that means for production of their upcoming Elements and Sushi Mania titles. It’s also peak show season, so there’s news of who has been exhibiting what and where, what’s coming up, plus details of all the latest code updates.
