This afternoon at its booth at this week's IAAPA amusement industry show in Orlando, Jersey Jack Pinball revealed its new "Pinball XP" ticket system for redemption arcades.
According to the Company's founder Jack Guarnieri, "Redemption pinball was a dream of mine when I first started the company and now with Pinball XP it's come true"
Jersey Jack's Eric Meunier stated "Pinball XP is a way of taking our classic, fun, engaging pinball games that we've always made and bringing them to the redemption center so that when people are playing pinball in FEC, they're still earning tickets. Same great game, now you can have tickets."
JJP stated that his is the first and only digital, integrated redemption system for pinball. It works with all the major arcade digital cashless providers.
With the system, Jersey Jack pinball machines can have a progressive jackpot that builds based on play of all of a location's Jersey Jack pins in the cluster. It is displayed on top of the machines. Every ticket the player earns in their game gives them a chance to win the progressive jackpot.
If you're at the IAAPA show, stop by Booth #809 to investigate for us :)

Rumor has it that the package costs $100,000, but I don’t know that for certain.
Pinheads Bowling places have arcades and this would br great fir them....at least then they will have pinball machines that zi can play.
If it gets some pinball machines into places like Chuck E. Cheese, COOL….. but I was really hoping for something more like Stern’s IC.
