Episode 27: Barrels of Speculation - So Many New Pinball Machines in 2025!


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive deep into the latest pinball rumors, industry news, and some wild speculation—because why not? We kick things off by discussing what Barrels of Fun might have in store for their next game and explore possible themes like Dune, G.I. Joe, and The Goonies (links below for reference). We also chat about Wonderland Amusements and Powlowski Pinball’s involvement in the scene.
Then, we shift gears to talk about the ever-evolving world of home pinball—does Wonderland’s new machine make sense at $799? Can it actually deliver a real pinball experience at that price point, or will it follow the same path as Arcade1Up? Speaking of innovation, we also touch on Multimorphic’s P3 platform—a console-like approach to pinball that lets you swap out playfields for a completely new game.
On the hardware side, we break down the latest in pinball glass—PinnGlass, JJP Invisiglass, Stern HD Glass, and Voodoo Glass. Plus, we’ve got some inside scoop on Stern’s Venom topper—it’s coming VERY soon and might introduce something completely new for a Stern topper. Will it release before TFP? We think so—probably next week!
And of course, we couldn’t wrap up without talking about Dungeons & Dragons Pinball! So far, it’s been an absolute blast with an awesome battle mechanic, but… let’s talk about those reboots and crashes. The good news? George Gomez himself confirmed a fix is coming in next week’s code update.
