Stern Pinball: The Global Leader in Modern Pinball

Founded in the United States, Stern Pinball is today the only major pinball manufacturer still operating at large scale. Where other historic brands have disappeared or limited themselves to small production runs, Stern has continuously invested in innovation, technology, and strong licenses.

The result: modern, reliable pinball machines designed for professional operation while appealing to demanding collectors. Each machine is designed to offer excellent replayability, great durability, and very high-level audiovisual immersion.

One of Stern Pinball’s great strengths lies in its choice of licenses. Cinema, music, comics, pop culture… Stern collaborates with the biggest franchises to transform cult universes into true interactive gaming experiences.

Among the iconic pinball machines, notable examples include:

• Godzilla: a modern classic, praised by the community as one of the best pinball machines in recent years. Its deep gameplay, spectacular animated elements (buildings, motorized ramps), and graphic universe designed by Zombie Yeti make it an absolute reference.

• Deadpool: an explosive and irreverent pinball machine, driven by the humor of the famous Merc with a Mouth. Accessible, dynamic, and visually striking, it appeals to both operators and casual players.

• Foo Fighters: a successful fusion between pinball and rock concert. With its iconic tracks, original narrative universe, and spectacular light shows, this model attracts a broad audience, well beyond just fans of the band.

• James Bond 007: an elegant tribute to the Sean Connery era, combining gadgets, missions, and cult film excerpts. A pinball machine that appeals to both cinema enthusiasts and gaming fans.

• Jurassic Park, The Mandalorian, Rush, Venom, and Star Wars complete a rich, coherent, and constantly renewed current lineup.

These strong licenses enable operators to create an immediate point of attraction, while offering players a powerful emotional experience.

Stern offers most of its pinball machines in three distinct versions to meet varied needs:

• Pro: ideal version for arcade operation. Dynamic gameplay, maximum durability, and excellent performance-to-price ratio.

• Premium: enhanced with additional animated elements, more complex mechanics, and increased immersion.

• Limited Edition (LE): produced in limited quantities, it is aimed at collectors and high-end establishments. Exclusive finishes, premium equipment, numbered plaque, and certificate of authenticity reinforce its status as a collector’s item.

This segmentation allows every professional or enthusiast to find the Stern pinball machine that matches their project, budget, and audience.

Beyond gameplay, Stern pinball machines are also recognized as true artistic pieces. The hand-illustrated playfields, original animations, immersive soundtracks, and quality finishes make each machine a strong decorative object.

Renowned artists such as Zombie Yeti have largely contributed to this unique visual identity, transforming certain pinball machines into sought-after collector’s pieces, even when not in play.

Whether for a gaming bar, an arcade, an entertainment center, a hotel, or a private collection, choosing Stern Pinball means investing in:

• a globally recognized brand,

• strong and current licenses,

• excellent operational reliability,

• lasting replayability,

• strong perceived value by the public.

In an entertainment market where experience and emotion are paramount, Stern Pinball continues to make pinball a timeless game, capable of appealing to all generations.
