A little history on American Pinball

American Pinball was founded in 2015 in Palatine, Illinois, with the goal of revitalizing the pinball industry by producing high-quality, innovative machines. The company made its debut with Houdini: Master of Mystery in 2017, a game that showcased intricate shot design and deep rules, setting the tone for their approach to pinball. Unlike some newer manufacturers that started with simpler designs, American Pinball aimed to appeal to both competitive players and collectors with challenging gameplay and immersive themes.

Following Houdini, the company continued to expand its lineup with titles such as Oktoberfest: Pinball on Tap, Hot Wheels, and Legends of Valhalla. Each game emphasized unique playfield features, deep rule sets, and high build quality. American Pinball gained a reputation for its mechanical innovation and strong engineering, often incorporating tight shot layouts that required precise flipper control. While initially operating as a division of Aimtron Corporation, an electronics manufacturer, American Pinball has since grown into an independent force in the modern pinball landscape. The company continues to develop new titles and remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of pinball design while maintaining the spirit of classic gameplay.
