Stern Pinball Jaws Pro

The ultimate cinematic pinball experience that brings the terror and thrills of cinema’s greatest shark thriller to life on the playfield.

Overview

Stern’s JAWS pinball transports players to Amity Island where they’ll grab harpoons and play as Quint, Hooper, and Brody to save the Fourth of July from the ultimate ocean predator. This coin-op masterpiece features groundbreaking mechanical innovations including a motorized shark fin target with “blood in the water” effects, an interactive Orca boat upper playfield, and a massive custom-sculpted Great White Shark that crashes through a three-dimensional fishing boat. With immersive film footage from all four blockbuster films, custom speech by Richard Dreyfuss, and John Williams’ iconic score, this is pinball’s most cinematic experience.
