Not long ago, Jersey Jack Pinball released the official teaser trailer for its much-anticipated next release, Harry Potter Pinball. Harry Potter Release Trailer In the 22 second video, we see glimpses of the translite artwork and side cabinet overdubbed with Harry Potter inspired music. Emails sent to Jersey Jack email subscribers made reference to this landing page with a countdown timer to June 5th at 12pm EST, presumably when the full reveal will take place. A Confusing Rollout The initial rollout was done somewhat confusingly, where it seems that the teaser trailer was first pushed via a code update to existing JJP machines (like Avatar and Elton John), where it was displayed in attract mode. Stills and video of the trailer were promptly shared by distributors (Fun! Billiards and Gameroom Store, specifically) to various social media sites. The official teaser wouldn't be released until about an hour after it was shared. Assuming this was planned, wouldn't it have been better to have a high-quality version publicly available for sharing? We'll share more as we learn more!
