Jack ‘Jersey Jack’ Guanieri, the founder of the pinball manufacturer of the same name, has been inducted into the Pinball Expo Hall of Fame.
Guanieri founded Jersey Jack Pinball in 2011 and was named as a new entrant to the Hall of Fame at the Pinball Expo, held virtually from October 14-17.
He was introduced by old friend Gary Flower, who detailed Jersey Jack’s many years in pinball from a technician to salesman to consultant and finally to forming his own manufacturing company.
Said Flower: “He is a great ambassador for pinball. In 2011 pinball was in the doldrums and only Stern survived. Then along came Jack. My perception is that you wanted to give people fully-loaded games built to a Cadillac standard.”
