Highlights

  • Eric Stone achieved a 4.1 trillion point score on Jaws through spinning the reel over 3,000 times in a single game, then had the score disqualified by Stern
  • Jersey Jack's Elton John machine features approximately 136,000 or 13,000 RGB LEDs (hosts uncertain of exact number)
  • Jersey Jack Pinball's Elton John is a Steve Ritchie design
  • A fire alarm evacuation occurred Friday morning at 10:07 a.m., lasting approximately 15-20 minutes
  • Jersey Jack claims to complete all code for their games, implying competitors (likely Stern) leave code unfinished
  • Colorado team (Walt Wood Pinball) won the March Madness tournament after Eric Stone's Florida team was disqualified
  • The Jaws 50th Anniversary machine has fishing reel-themed spinner mechanic requiring 45 minutes minimum playtime to access the primary exploit pathway
  • Labyrinth pinball machine's cartoony background edition has non-functional decoration elements (Dopey Dwarfs, static mouse, non-animated rhino/warthog)

Notable quotes

“An exploit is something that anybody can go crazy on. So in the end, did they get rid of your score? Of course. Stern got rid of my score.”
Eric Stone
“We do this and other companies, you know, they just kind of leave it unfinished. They don't complete their code. We complete all our code.”
Jersey Jack (Jack Danger, implied)
“It's fabulous. It's terrific. It's going to do really well. The light show is incredible on it.”
DJ/PJ
“I would not go buy this game, but I did enjoy playing the game.”
George
“You can't beat our meat.”
George (relaying rejected game slogan)
“I think I have said it to you and about nine other people, make ten games, charge the crap out of them, give all the donations to the widow, and be done. Move on. This is not anything anybody should be involved in.”
George
“George, make it stop. Please, for God's sake, make it stop. I need more beer. I need more beer in my ear.”
Dr. Dave
“I spun the reel over 3,000 times in one game, and that's an exploit. But where, where, Eric? The rest of us can't do that.”
George
