Stern Pinball Avengers Infinity Quest Premium

The Dr. Strange sling ring disc spins. Two directions. Speed measured on every rotation.

Overview

The Avengers: Infinity Quest Premium is a full-size commercial pinball machine from Stern Pinball, designed by Keith Elwin, built around the six-Infinity-Gem quest structure that drives the game’s primary mode progression. The Premium edition shares the interactive Dr. Strange kinetic sling ring disc and Avengers Tower magnetic lock ramp with all models, then adds a motorized pop-up disc scoop, an underground portal subway visible through custom playfield windows, a sculpted Thanos Infinity Gauntlet with light-up gems, a Captain Marvel inverse gravity wireform ramp, and a Pym Laboratories vertical up-kicker — mechanical features exclusive to this tier.

Key Features

Dr. Strange Kinetic Sling Ring Disc

An interactive spinning disc mounted in the playfield detects both rotation direction and velocity on every pass. The dual-direction velocity detection feeds directly into the game’s portal-opening and Infinity Gem quest triggers — the speed and direction of the disc’s spin at the moment of contact determines the outcome, making the mechanism visible in its effect on mode progression.

Motorized Pop-Up Disc Scoop and Underground Portal Subway

A Premium-exclusive motorized disc scoop rises from the playfield surface, captures the ball, and routes it into an underground portal. The subway below the playfield can hold and stage up to three balls simultaneously. Custom playfield windows with dynamic RGB lighting make the staged balls visible during play — bystanders can see the ball queue beneath the playfield surface while the next play is already in motion.

Avengers Tower Magnetic Lock Ramp

A gravity-defying ramp integrates a gravitational vari-target and a magnet hold that captures pinballs in midair. The mid-air ball capture is physically visible from outside the machine — the ball arrests in flight on the ramp structure before multiball release — and it is the trigger condition for unlocking Iron Man Multiball.

Thanos Infinity Gauntlet with Light-Up Gems

A custom sculpted Thanos Infinity Gauntlet is integrated into the playfield with atmospheric lighting in each of the six gem positions. As players progress through the Infinity Gem quests, the corresponding gem positions illuminate, giving the playfield a physical state indicator tied directly to mode progression.

Insider Connected Network Platform

Stern’s Insider Connected system is built into the machine. On the operator side, it provides Location Leaderboards, remote performance analysis, remote adjustment capability, and machine maintenance tools — all accessible without opening the cabinet. On the player side, it tracks individual progress, delivers game-specific achievements, and supports Challenge Quests tied to a global player network.

Additional Shared Playfield Mechanisms

Across all Avengers: Infinity Quest models, the playfield includes an Avengers Computer Bingo grid 3-target drop bank, a Thor captive ball, a Hulk spinning target, custom intricate wireform ramps, a Captain Marvel inverse gravity wireform ramp, and a Pym Laboratories vertical up-kicker. Three full-size flippers control ball routing across the complete playfield layout.

How It Plays

The player routes the ball through the Dr. Strange sling ring disc to build portal progress — the disc’s spin speed and direction at contact sets the quest state, so the same shot produces different results depending on how the disc is moving. When the motorized scoop rises and captures the ball, it disappears below the playfield into the subway, where up to three staged balls wait behind the lit playfield windows before releasing into multiball. Sending the ball up the Avengers Tower ramp triggers the magnetic hold: the ball visibly stops mid-ramp, suspended by the magnet, before Iron Man Multiball launches — the mid-air arrest and simultaneous multi-ball release are the most visible play moments on the Premium playfield from across the room.

Why Operators Love It

Remote Adjustment and Diagnostics via Insider Connected

The built-in Insider Connected platform allows operators to analyze machine performance, make setting adjustments, and review machine data without opening the cabinet or visiting the location. Location Leaderboard data and play metrics are accessible remotely.

Player Progression Tools Built Into the Machine

Insider Connected’s player-facing features — achievement tracking, Challenge Quests, and global network participation — are delivered at the machine level. Operators do not need external hardware or software to offer these features; player registration is handled through Stern’s platform at insider.sternpinball.com.

Standard Full-Size Cabinet Footprint

At 27 in W x 55 in D x 76 in H and 250 lbs, the Avengers: Infinity Quest Premium is built on Stern’s standard full-size pinball cabinet. It fits the floor slot dimensions used across the industry — venues already routing Stern titles can place this unit without reconfiguring floor layouts.

Single-Plug 120V Install

The machine runs on standard 120V AC single-phase power — no special electrical work required. A single outlet at the wall is all the power infrastructure the installation needs.

How does the underground portal subway work on the Avengers: Infinity Quest Premium?

The assembled cabinet measures 27 in W x 55 in D x 76 in H and weighs 250 lbs. It runs on standard 120V AC single-phase power — the same outlet used by any residential or commercial standard circuit.
