- Karl DeAngelo was the first elite-level tournament player to design a pinball machine in recent years
- Winchester Mystery House playfield features unique ball-path design with turntable that dynamically changes shot outcomes
- X-Men Pro units have broken Rogue gun mode where signals don't move as intended

- Barrels of Fun took the debut Winchester Mystery House unit (number one) back to their facility post-Expo for wear-and-tear analysis
Notable quotes
“Mom sounds like a smart guy trying to sound dumb. Travis sounds like a dumb guy trying to sound smart. And Joel sounds like he's just happy to be included in the conversation.”
“I think Barrels of Fun now has their Keith Elwin. Like, I think the way that Karl's brain works – he designed that entire game.”
“Karl taught himself Solidworks. Karl was supplying all this. We would help him with tooling or help him with these little things. But like, that is almost entirely Karl's baby.”
“It's not the license that sold me. It's what I'm seeing in the game, the layout, the code, everything.”
“In the pinball industry, brand is a powerful thing, a very powerful thing, especially if you have less units being produced.”
“I'm still holding out on the code. I'm still holding out on the code and really hoping that it... they got time. They got time.”
“It's refreshing to see a fun layout done. It's refreshing to see different things being done, especially like that turntable, which changes your shot.”
“If I'm buying an LE and you're telling me to put mods in it, I would have a lot of reservations about that.”
