![]() ![]() While there have been rumors for years that Chicago Gaming would release their own original pinball table, including a long rumored Pulp Fiction game, nothing has been officially confirmed to date. Update 3.9.23: It's Pulp Fiction as the next CGC game! Chicago Gaming Company currently specializes in producing remakes of classic Bally/Williams pinball machines, mostly from the 1990s. Rumors are that American Pinball will show off Galactic Tank Force at 2023's Texas Pinball Festival in March. Most pinball fans in the know expect to see Galactic Tank Force, an original theme, as American's next release. So far the most credible rumors center around a slate of original unlicensed themes, designer Barry Oursler's final game, and perhaps a sequel to the 90s classic White Water. They aren't up to that level yet in 2023, so like Jersey Jack, American Pinball rumors are few and far between. Update 2/25: American Pinball has all but confirmed that Galactic Tank Force will be their next pinball machine, releasing a brief teaser on their Facebook page.Īmerican Pinball is currently planning for two new game releases a year. Think of it as a "wouldn't it be cool if Jersey Jack built this table next" list. These may or may not ever make it to production. These are some of the pinball themes most requested by Jersey Jack pinball fans. Rumors: Elton John, Van Halen, Journey, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel Current Production Jersey Jack Pinball Machines There's also a lot of buzz about Jersey Jack releasing an Elton John music pin (hello, Pinball Wizard) with Steve Ritchie at the helm, and that they may even have the Top Gun license. According to Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, we could see Jersey Jack's next game (again, likely to be The Godfather) announced sometime in the early part of 2023. While the buzz is that their most recent release, Toy Story, isn't performing very well, there are starting to be some rumors about their next release coming sooner than most would expect, with Eric Meunier's next game ( The Godfather?) as the leading contender for the next Jersey Jack pinball machine. As such, the rumor mill is much less active than Stern's. While Stern will release 3 or more games a year, we're lucky to see a single Jersey Jack machine in that time period. Jersey Jack is arguably the number 2 pinball manufacturer in the United States, but they don't release games nearly as often as Stern does. Update 2/28: It's The Godfather, per a teaser photo shared on the Jersey Jack Facebook page.
