![]() It is Episode 12 of the Stern Insider Pinball Podcast but is only available to those who register for the current Stern Insider programme. Stern Pinball have an interview with their Vice-President of Game Design, George Gomez, where he talks about the Insider Connected system and how it evolved from the early days of machine interconnectivity. Some of these will be available at launch, but the features of the Insider Connected system are expected to expand over the coming months and years. There are many possible ways to utilise the data generated once the machine, player and operator are linked. ![]() Loyalty rewards could also be offered to players to encourage them to seek out and play connected Stern Pinball titles. For marketing, Stern would be able to contact operators and either advise on ways to increase earnings or let them know about the upcoming availability of more of their best-earning titles. Stern might also see if a certain feature or toy is regularly breaking or becoming inactive, using that to make future iterations more robust or make stronger replacements available at the Stern Shop. Similarly, if players are choosing to always skip certain modes or awards, the scoring balance of the gameplay could be adjusted to make them more rewarding. If certain features on a game are rarely started, the software developers could bring out an update to the game code to make them more achievable. A wealth of valuable information – including everything the player and operator sees and much more – is available for the company’s development, diagnostic and marketing purposes. The third link to a connected machine is back to Stern Pinball themselves. There is no information yet about whether the Pro version of Insider Connected will have a cost associated with it, or how much it will be.
