Jersey Jack Pinball Unveils The Pat Lawlor Game: Dialed In!
JJP unveiled Dialed In! at Pinball Expo 2016, ending years of speculation about its third title and its collaboration with Pat Lawlor, the designer behind The Addams Family, Twilight Zone, and FunHouse.

JJP released it in Limited ($9,000) and Collector’s Edition ($12,500) trims, and demand crashed the company’s store the day it launched, proof that every machine is...

He took a silver marker and signed “Jersey Jack” on the back—indicating his nickname and the name of his company. “In a...

Jersey Jack Pinball Sets January Production For Hobbit Game
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.

It’s the same hands-on engineering JJP still applies to...
