Explore Jersey Jack Pinball Machines
Jersey Jack Pinball’s second game, The Hobbit, hit the production line in late 2013, founder Jack Guarnieri told distributors in a holiday update, subassemblies, playfields, and cabinets were already moving down the line ahead of a planned January ramp to full production. JJP paired the announcement with a financing partnership through Paramount Financial Services, aimed at getting machines into more home gamerooms, and rolled out ordering for Pindemption, a $199 dongle-based system letting Wizard of Oz owners convert it into a skill-based redemption game with virtual tickets or a physical dispenser. It’s the same hands-on engineering JJP still applies to its current premium pinball machines a decade later.
"The plan is to build a number of games for further extensive testing, and then go into full production in January," Guarnieri said. "Our suppliers have been working very hard to get us all the parts we need."
Like all JJP games, The Hobbit is "loaded with fun, mechanical action and new technology that keeps players coming back for more," Guarnieri said.
Jersey Jack Pinball also has formed an agreement with a financing company, Paramount Financial Services (Scottsdale, AZ), to facilitate getting JJP games into more locations and home gamerooms.
Also just in time for the new year, JJP's Pindemption system for its popular Wizard of Oz game is now available for order. Pindemption enables Wizard of Oz owners to adapt the game for redemption play with virtual swipe card or physical ticket dispensing. It features different play styles -- time-based rather than ball-based -- and a much less complicated rule set. Pindemption actually can deliver the tickets won by the player, not just the points earned. It's implemented with a $199 dongle, and a "ticket topper" illuminated header can be mounted to the game to call attention to the redemption feature. Both are available online from store.jerseyjackpinball.com.
