Merlin's Arcade

Merlin's Arcade is a March 2025 release from boutique manufacturer Turner Pinball, with both the playfield layout and ruleset designed by veteran pinball designer Jon Norris. The game sends players into a whimsical Arthurian world where they face the Knights of the Round Table, the evil sorceress Morgan Le Fay, and the wizard Merlin across a variety of arcade-style games and challenges.

The machine emphasizes craftsmanship: the cabinet is built like fine furniture from 13-ply 3/4-inch plywood finished with black laminate inside and out, with even the 9-ply bottom panel given a UV clearcoat. On the playfield, three flippers, a ramp, and a signature 'foosball knight' super spinner drive the action, and the ruleset is stacked with an unusually deep roster of multiball modes.

This standard Arcade Edition launched at an MSRP of $6,995 and features black powder-coated legs and glass frame, additional super spinners, and virtual ball locks for its multiballs. A higher-trim Legendary Edition was offered alongside it with additional toys and premium finishes.
