## Transcript

Jersey Jack Pinball shared a couple of pictures of its current four member design team along with the company's founder Jack Guarnieri at the company's factory on social media today. I, like I'm sure other fans of the company, am completely chomping at the bit anxiously awaiting word on JJP's its next game. So, as any normal person would do I decided to micro-analyze the pics for any tiny sliver of information (wait, normal people wouldn't do this? LOL). I'm trying to decide if the playfields that the gentlemen are leaning up against are for the company's current Guns N' Roses pin OR are they something different? I can't tell! What do you think?

Yes, I know that this article really doesn't say anything but talking about this stuff is fun :)
