The plans by American Pinball\u2019s parent company, Aimtron, to change direction were discussed at length last month.\u00a0 This month those plans solidified with the formation of Funsup<\/em>, a new contract manufacturing company.\u00a0 Hear what that could mean for pinball production in the US with the ever-present threat of import tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contract manufacturing isn\u2019t always a pathway to success, as Dutch Pinball found out.  However, more than ten years after they first presented the game, the final The Big Lebowski<\/em> has rolled off the production line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dutch Pinball can now focus on their next title, but they aren\u2019t the only company building a game based on Lewis Carroll\u2019s Alice\u2019s Adventures in Wonderland<\/em> book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wonderland Amusements launch their Kickstarter campaign this month for Alice Goes To Wonderland<\/em> with the latest look at the full artwork package. Will their plans disappear down the rabbit hole, or will they be grinning like the Cheshire Cat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stern Pinball have been busy exhibiting at toy and magic shows, but they also found time to announce a new range of John Wick<\/em> accessories, launch over a hundred new Insider Connected achievements and release new code, although it wasn\u2019t necessarily the big update some game owners were hoping for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are production updates from Multimorphic, Barrels of Fun, Turner Pinball and Chicago Gaming, as well as all the latest in the Deeproot criminal and civil prosecutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin and Johnathan also look back on the first Pinball at the Beach<\/em> show and ahead to this month\u2019s Texas Pinball Festival<\/em> where they will be hosting their popular So You Think You Know Pinball?<\/em> free prize quiz on the Saturday at 5pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
