Scott Slomiany

Scott Slomiany is a highly regarded figure in pinball history, particularly for his pioneering work in dot-matrix display (DMD) animation during the 1990s. After studying art and computer graphics in Chicago, he joined Williams/Bally at the perfect moment: pinball machines were transitioning from basic score displays to sophisticated DMDs capable of showing animated sequences. Slomiany quickly emerged as one of the leading DMD artists, elevating the visual and narrative aspect of pinball through iconic contributions to games such as The Addams Family, Twilight Zone, and Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure. His frame-by-frame animations injected humor, cinematic flair, and intuitive storytelling into gameplay, making the DMD a core part of the pinball experience.
