Jersey Jack Pinball (JJP) was founded in 2011 by Jack Guarnieri, a longtime figure in the pinball industry, with the goal of pushing the boundaries of modern pinball design. The company set out to create high-quality, feature-rich machines that incorporated cutting-edge technology, immersive themes, and deep rule sets. JJP made an immediate impact with its debut game, The Wizard of Oz (2013), which was the first pinball machine to feature a 27-inch LCD screen, RGB LED lighting, and an innovative wide-body playfield. This machine demonstrated JJP’s commitment to premium pinball experiences, helping to establish the company as a serious competitor to industry giant Stern Pinball.

Following The Wizard of Oz, Jersey Jack continued to release ambitious titles, including The Hobbit, Dialed In!, Pirates of the Caribbean, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Guns N’ Roses: Not in This Lifetime, and Toy Story 4. Each game showcased JJP’s emphasis on deep gameplay, high production value, and advanced audiovisual integration. The company became known for working closely with renowned designers such as Pat Lawlor and Eric Meunier, further cementing its reputation for innovation. Today, Jersey Jack Pinball remains a major player in the industry, appealing to collectors and competitive players alike with its immersive and technically sophisticated machines.
