John Wick turns the assassin’s world into a game about contracts, targets and escalating missions. The playfield is built around Wick’s increasingly dangerous assignments, with shots and objectives representing the different locations and enemies he encounters.
The game rewards controlled progression. You are not simply trying to hit the biggest target on the table; you are building towards contracts and completing the objectives required to advance.
The theme suits an aggressive style of pinball, but reckless shooting is still punished. Pick your contract before you start shooting. Knowing the target is half the battle.

Enemies gather in front of the shots while you play, and a lit shot pays once for every one standing in front of it. Shooting a job too early is how most of the score on this machine gets left behind.

Strategy tips written by players on PinTips , not by Silverball. Best-voted first.
Shoot left orbit, then smash the car multiple times then left orbit for multiball
Soft plunges that go past the second rollover and roll back into crate are BAD: no Job progress, minimal score, melts the Ball Save timer.
Soft plunge avoiding both rollovers gives Baba Yaga skill shot, starting at 1.5mil
Try soft-plunging balls served from the trough before they auto-launch, to directly serve those balls to the Right Flipper via the Crate.
Spell WINSTON to light lock on center ramp
When car multiball is lit, shoot the car to change which multiball will start. The best ones are helipad showdown (far left) and bagarre (far right).
Job shots give 5s extra time. Once per Job, finish Crate sequence again for a ~30s extension. May exceed the original 60-second time limit.
Oath Marker targets light outlane ball saves. FLASHING outlane = active, SOLID outlane = CONSUMED. Fight an Adversary to reset both outlanes

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.
Videos from YouTube, curated from channels we rate. They belong to their creators, who aren’t affiliated with Silverball; links open on YouTube so the view counts for them. A creator who’d rather not be listed can get in touch and we’ll remove it.
