Jersey Jack Pinball

Jersey Jack Pinball, Inc. is an American company manufacturing pinball machines which was established in 2011. The first table released by the company, The Wizard of Oz, was released in 2013.

History
Jersey Jack Pinball was founded in January 2011 by industry veteran Jack Guarnieri. Starting in 1975, he had serviced electromechanical pinball tables for a living, and he created the website PinballSales.com in 1999. Guarnieri hired designer Joe Balcer and programmer Keith Johnson to work on the first machines.

In 2013, the company released their first pinball machine, The Wizard of Oz. They spend $2 million in startup and development and sold the machines for $7,000 each. Guarnieri's goal was to produce a high-quality pinball machine regardless of cost, and attract a larger female pinball audience than other manufacturers. The Wizard of Oz's release caught the attention of Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, who reached out to the company about collaborating on a pinball machine.

Jersey Jack's machines have been used in donations by Project Pinball Charity in 2015, 2016, and 2019.

In 2020, Jersey Jack relocated their manufacturing operations from their original location in Lakewood, New Jersey to Elk Grove Village, Illinois where their design team was already based. The first machine produced at their new location was Guns N' Roses. As of 2023 the company had over 100 employees.

Game development
Jersey Jack games have introduced several notable features over the years, including LCD screens, LED lighting, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, and camera integration. The Wizard of Oz featured a 26-inch LCD monitor in the backglass. Dialed In! featured a camera integrated into the game's backbox to facilitate selfie photography and Bluetooth capability.
