Elton John
Jersey Jack · 2023 · at 1 UK venue.
Elton John brings the flamboyant career of one of Britain’s biggest musical performers to modern Jersey Jack pinball. The machine uses Elton’s songs, albums and performances as the framework for its modes and objectives.
The music is central to the experience, with different songs creating different challenges while the physical playfield provides the shots needed to progress through the game.
It is a machine that works best when you treat the songs as part of the rules rather than simply background music. Pick your song, learn its shots and put on the show.

No tutorials for this machine
We only list videos from a short list of channels we rate, and we never run a search to fill the gap — so most machines have none here rather than a page of whatever YouTube would have returned.
One reviewer's opinion, not a Silverball verdict, and not a guide to playing.
