The new pinball machine had made its way to the end of the assembly line, having been fitted with all the devices that make a silver ball’s zigzag journey through the flashing, dinging playfield such an addictive pleasure. Before the machine could be shipped, Jack Guarnieri had one more thing to add. He took a silver marker and signed “Jersey Jack” on the back—indicating his nickname and the name of his company. “In a...

In The World Of Pinball, An Underdog Takes On The Giant
For more than a decade, Stern Pinball was the only manufacturer of pinball machines. The Chicago-based company's last rival closed down in 1999. But Stern's pinball monopoly may be drawing to an end.

"So, I think more competition and more product in the marketplace raises the awareness of pinball." Jersey Jack...
