It is fair to say that Stern Pinball has a strong presence at the majority of trade shows around the world and this week's ASI was no different.

With a prime position at the front of the hall, Stern’s stand was consistently busy with the main attraction focusing around the Dark Knight game, 24 and CSI.

Talking to Gary Stern at the show, he told InterGame: “We’re in a fantastic position and people are visiting the stand but the show is much smaller than in previous years, which is a pattern at most trade shows at the moment.”

Commenting on success out of the US, Stern added that he is seeing particular success with products in countries such as Hungary and the Czech Republic. In an attempt to ride the recession storm, Stern is also making the games more understandable for the casual player in the hope of widening their appeal.
