We return to the Las Vegas Convention Center for the first time since 2013 to visit the annual spring coin-op trade show now known as Amusement Expo International.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The show was held in hall N1, which meant there wasn’t too far to walk from the main entrance.<\/p>\n

The show opened to registered visitors on Wednesday 16th March and lasted for two days. Inside the hall, the familiar mix of coin-op and amusement trade vendors were exhibiting their latest products.<\/p>\n

Visitor numbers were encouraging, with the aisles busy throughout the first day.<\/p>\n

Our main interest lay in seeing what the two pinball manufacturers exhibiting at the show had brought along. Stern Pinball is first, and they had a display of seven machines.<\/p>\n

The greatest interest was generated by their latest title, Ghostbusters, of which they had two.<\/p>\n

To see how the game plays, we shot a video of top player Keith Elwin playing one of his first games on Ghostbusters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
