Chicago Gaming Company was founded in 2001 and is based in Cicero, Illinois. Initially, the company focused on producing arcade machines, video game cabinets, and home entertainment systems. However, it eventually gained significant recognition in the pinball industry by specializing in high-quality remakes of classic Bally and Williams pinball machines. Through a licensing agreement with Planetary Pinball Supply, Chicago Gaming began developing faithful yet enhanced reproductions of some of the most legendary pinball machines, appealing to both collectors and new players.

The company’s first major pinball remake was Medieval Madness (2017), which was met with critical acclaim for maintaining the original’s playfield design while incorporating modern improvements such as enhanced lighting, upgraded displays, and customizable features. Following this success, Chicago Gaming released other classic remakes, including Attack from Mars, Monster Bash, and Cactus Canyon. These machines preserved the original charm and gameplay while introducing upgraded components and interactive features. Chicago Gaming has since established itself as a leader in high-quality pinball remakes, and while it has yet to develop an original title, its commitment to craftsmanship and innovation keeps it highly respected in the pinball community.
