Stern’s Led Zeppelin, released in 2020, channels one of rock’s mightiest catalogs into a flowing, music-driven table from Steve Ritchie — the Master of Flow himself, capping a long Stern run with a love letter to the band. This Pro edition runs three flippers across a field of ramps, standup banks, and a spinning target, with the whole layout choreographed to the rhythms of Zeppelin’s biggest songs.

The clever heart of the game is how scoring marries music and motion. Combos build “Icarus,” a playfield multiplier, by completing the four sets of standups — and the savvy advice is to hold off on starting Icarus until all four banks carry some combo value, so the multiplier pays off across the board. Meanwhile, completing lit shots and rattling switches racks up Record Sales toward Gold Records, which in turn light “Change Song” and eventually complete songs. The lit shot patterns are actually choreographed to the verses and solos of each track, so the table plays in time with the music.

The strategic spice is the Band Boost system: you start with one boost to auto-cash a combo or add an Icarus hit, earning more through Gold Records, and saving three for a Super Band Boost unlocks bigger plays like a multiball add-a-ball. The far-left scoop qualifies the tour modes, while three left ramps light Zeppelin Multiball. Smooth, deep, and musically inventive, the Led Zeppelin Pro is a fitting Ritchie tribute to a band that always rewarded the close listener.
