American Pinball
Overview
American Pinball entered the market in 2016 as a fresh challenger to the established order. Backed by the Polish Reh family — investors with deep roots in amusement machinery — the company set up operations in Chicago, inheriting the city’s long tradition of pinball manufacturing. Their approach combined modern LCD Screen display technology with an emphasis on value, offering feature-rich machines at a price point below the premium tier.
Their debut title, Houdini: Master of Mystery (2018), demonstrated a commitment to clever mechanical design and immersive theming. Subsequent releases including Oktoberfest (2019) and Legends of Valhalla (2022) built on that foundation, earning American Pinball a loyal following among operators and collectors who appreciate a thoughtfully engineered game at an accessible price.
