About This Machine

Dialed In! is a standout title from 2017 that represents a modern, tech-forward approach to pinball design. Developed by Pat Lawlor, the mastermind behind iconic games like Theatre of Magic and Medieval Madness (concept by Lawlor and Ted Estes), Dialed In! boasts an innovative blend of traditional and cutting-edge features as a solid-state electronic game.

The gameplay is where Dialed In! shines. The Standard Edition comes equipped with three flippers, three pop bumpers, five magnets, a moving target, dual left inlanes, a left outlane kickback, and a shaker motor - all of which contribute to the game's engaging and unpredictable nature. The machine features multiball play, and its toys include an animated robot, three flying drones, a moving male target figurine, and a female figure with a moving arm. What sets Dialed In! apart is its integration of modern technology, including Bluetooth connectivity that allows players to control their flippers remotely using their smartphones.

The machine's design and art are equally impressive, with stainless steel body armor and a 27-inch LCD backbox display that showcases vibrant graphics. The playfield itself features a factory clear-coated finish, and an LCD is mounted directly onto the playfield. Perhaps the most striking feature, however, is the small camera flash unit atop the backbox, which simulates a camera flash whenever the built-in digital camera captures a player's photo for display on the backglass - a clever nod to the game's theme of capturing life's unforgettable moments.
