From the creator

This isn't your typical LoserKid episode! Off the rails ridiculousness does insue. You've been warned.

Highlights

  • George Gomez stated that Godzilla is very soon going to be the most sold pinball machine of all time, surpassing Addams Family's ~20,000+ units
  • Harry Potter game is designed for mid-level and higher skill players, not entry-level/casual players
  • Jersey Jack Pinball could realistically manufacture Harry Potter for 7-10 years by mixing production runs with other games
  • Stern is producing significantly more games in 2025, evidenced by Jaws 50th production levels
  • Tom Graff purchased Harry Potter Wizard's Edition through Kingpin Games affiliation early in 2025
  • Someone purchased a Venom pinball from Amazon at $56.99, received a $1,900 refund for box damage, effectively getting the machine for under $4,000
  • Winchester Mystery House sold out at Pinball Expo 2025
  • Pinball market may not be in a real downturn; apparent saturation is due to expanded distributor network diluting sales across more outlets

Notable quotes

Theme immersion. I like how they took all the movies and made sure they did the best with what they could with that.
Tom Graff
Harry Potter is a very deep, immersive experience that has so many shot patterns, you have to know a little bit what's going on. If you did, you would have something like Medieval Madness.
Josh Roop
The lessons that Jersey Jack Pinball are going to learn from Guns N' Roses is you can't just ride one horse until it stops.
Josh Roop
George Gomez was just on Kerry Hardy's show, and George Gomez essentially alluded to the fact that Godzilla is very soon going to be the most sold pinball machine of all time.
Josh Roop
I truly believe it's more or less because there's just so many dealers out there now, so many distributors out there now, and so much being produced. It's easy to think that whatever's coming out has been diluted.
Travis
If you look at every other manufacturer that's out there, this is a great time to be a pinball fan. It really is, because I think nearly everybody's clicking on all the cylinders.
Travis
Yet we have a machine selling out sight unseen. Yet we have Harry Potter crushing things. Yet we have Godzilla about to set a record for the biggest selling game of all time.
Travis
