Dead Flip Chicago To Showcase Stern Pinball Titles On Twitch TV


MELROSE PARK, Ill., March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Stern Pinball, Inc., the world's oldest and largest producer of arcade-quality pinball games, announced today it has teamed up with Dead Flip, an organization of Chicago-based pinball enthusiasts, to promote pinball and the pinball community on Twitch TV. Twitch TV, a unit of Amazon.com, is the largest internet-based "e-sports" streaming site.  Twitch is the fastest-growing television network in America with more than 100 million viewers a month. Dead Flip will showcase Stern Pinball's new WWE Wrestlemania pinball machine and future Stern Pinball titles.

Dead Flip is a Chicago-based organization that promotes pinball on the internet, and helps players learn the game.

"Like any game or sport, people get discouraged when they can't succeed," said Jack Danger of Dead Flip. "We created Dead Flip to help improve players' pinball skills and build a community to share these experiences and our love for pinball."

Dead Flip is featuring Stern Pinball's WWE Wrestlemania machine the week of March 2nd. WWE Wrestlemania calls players into the ring as WWE superstars embarking on a quest to become the worldwide heavyweight champion. WWE is the first pinball machine to feature Stern's recently announced SPIKETM electronics hardware system. The new technology reduces product complexity and simplifies manufacturing, resulting in more reliable and easier-to-service games.


"Chicago is home to many great pinball players," said Gary Stern, Chairman and CEO of Stern Pinball. "We're thrilled to team up with Dead Flip and Twitch to keep the love of pinball growing and share our new titles with the world."
