The Chicago-area pinball manufacturer Jersey Jack Pinball (JJP) is turning up the volume on its celebration of the five-year anniversary of its landmark table, the Guns N’ Roses: Not in This Lifetime machine. To mark the milestone, JJP is launching a major giveaway: one lucky fan will win a full-size Guns N’ Roses pinball machine. It’s a collector-worthy prize combining gaming and rock-and-roll culture.
Back in October 2020, JJP revealed the Guns N’ Roses machine, a collaboration with the legendary band Guns N’ Roses and top designer Eric Meunier. The game features 21 full-length studio master tracks from the band’s “Not in This Lifetime…” era, captive video content of live concerts, a massive 120-watt 2.1 stereo sound system, and signature design touches like the top-hat sculpture of guitarist Slash. Not just a novelty, this is a top-tier machine designed for collectors and serious pinball fans alike. So gifting one away is a big deal, and a statement about JJP’s confidence in the game’s legacy and the strength of its fanbase. Announced on the company’s social channels with the tagline “5 Years of Rock. 1 Epic Giveaway!”, the campaign invites fans to participate for a chance to win the machine, including a special “Slash-signed Limited Edition” variant.
While full terms and conditions are managed via JJP’s official site, the high points include:
- Entry is open to participants meeting eligibility rules
- One winner will receive the pinball machine (installation/shipping logistics may apply).
- The machine featured is a licensed, commercially produced JJP title, rather than a mock-up or display piece.
For fans of pinball – especially premium tables – this contest underscores a few key trends. First, rock-music themed cabinets continue to resonate. The marriage of live-event visual/audio production with tactile pinball gameplay gives collectors something unique. Second, premium machines are more than just a game; they are an experience. JJP’s release of Guns N’ Roses marked a pivot toward high-spec, no-compromise hardware, including multi-level playfields, big screens, and Bluetooth/wi-fi connectivity. Finally, engagement builds brand loyalty. By giving away a hero product, JJP not only rewards its existing community but draws in broader awareness from rock fans, arcade collectors, and pinball-curious newcomers alike.
If you’ve ever wanted a premium, full-sized rock-themed pinball machine to anchor your game room (or collection), this could be your moment. With the five-year marker coming around for the Guns N’ Roses title, JJP’s giveaway is as much a celebration of the game’s staying power as it is a gift to the pinball community. Though the machine is five years old, the giveaway breathes fresh life into the title, so collectors may see renewed interest or increased market attention for both used and new units of the game. Interested participants should visit JJP’s website for the official giveaway page (registration window, rules, deadline).
