Great American Pinball is excited to announce we received the very first Houdini Pinball Machine out the door from American Pinball! We posted an unboxing on Pinside.com, and we are happy to post our features footage with gameplay. First impressions of this game are really great. Watch Houdini perform numerous magic tricks!
American Pinball knocked it out of the park with this machine. First, the build is super solid. This is a nice, heavy pinball machine that will surely hold up to even the most rough use. The sound and lighting is also second to none. Six stereo speakers drive the audio and give nice highs and lows. And the lighting on the playfield is almost entirely color changing LEDs. This easily highlights changes in rules and objectives. Don’t forget the two theatre spotlights just below the slingshots.
The Houdini pinball machine also has a few unique features. First there are the padlock and gear toys on each pop bumper. These are connected by chains and are really interesting to watch. There are also three separate magnets to control Houdini’s magic. These are prominently noticed when hitting the “magic” targets. As your ball passes Houdini’s hands, he will use his power to fling your ball in unpredictable ways! And a very fun feature of the Houdini pinball machine is the launch into Houdini’s steamer trunk. It’s over 20 inches!
The rule set of the Houdini pinball machine is sure to keep it fresh for many players as well. The machine has five different multiballs and ten different Stage Modes. The LCD screen in the API Theater Stage helps players along by giving directions and announcing game modes. Some of the more fun modes are the five different Jail Escape Hurry Ups and the five different Secret Mission Cobo Modes. There is also a Seance mode that can be activated to let your ball “come back from the dead.” You are given a chance to spell “Seance” and your drained ball will be considered live again. If you are unable to spell it within the limit, the game stops and you lose that ball. There is also a Seance multiball that is available during normal play after you spell the word “Seance” by shooting the targets for each letter. All in all, the rule of this pinball game are sure to keep experts on their toes while still being accessible to the novice player.
Again, the build on the Houdini pinball is great. It’s got a 15.6 inch LCD panel in the translight that us used in the Video Mode and to tell players which mode they are in and what objectives they should be playing for. American Pinball also included a custom powder coated set of cabinet armor. Everything about this game puts players into the time of Harry Houdini. From the chains, locks and keys, to the seance and planchette. American Pinball’s Houdini screams turn of the century nostalgia. It’s sure to be a big win for American Pinball and any pinball enthusiasts who can get their hands on the game!

Well, wish I could get sum help....My Houdini is crashing and sumtimes it will freeze up....
Picking mine up today dream pin
You get the best footage I've seen of pinball
I especially love the angle you got on the scooby table
Well played sir. Beautiful pin -- love the theme, old school video, voice audio, the way it is lit. Seems to be hard to start modes compared to other modern games. Also would prefer a more discoverable play experience, especially what things produce good points, combo shot bonus (if any) and maybe the bonus countdown being more legible in some way.
Great voiceovers!!!!
A magnificent machine.
Dreaming of owning this
I discovered the magnet trick a few days ago. As a bit of an animist, it freaked me out at first!
I played this machine at a pub once. The floor was slightly slanted, so unless I pushed the table slightly the ball would always roll slightly to the left
looks like tons of fun
Oh it is! One of the better machines in the shop honestly. And American Pinball has been in communication with us regarding code fixes and getting our gameplay logs. Seems like the right way to do business!
COLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.GOSTARIA DE JOGAR ESTE PINBALL DO ROUDINI
I don’t like that the machine tells you that you failed a skill shot. I’m more used to the game just going straight to normal gameplay after the skill shot attempt, like with Theater of Magic and Black Rose.
Hopefully as good as theater of majic pin.
Let's not joke, the TOM is more beautiful and fun. With fantastic music.
They are different in many ways. They both have their ups and downs.
this machine is nice. would be nice to have both this and TOM in a collection.. i love TOMs. layout, brilliant.
Looks like hard to go on ramps
Compared to JJP machines, it sucks like if it was a Stern game :) but it is inventive
American Pinball machines are much better built than modern day Stern IMO.
The metal wire ramps look so much better than stern cheap shit.
Thanks for the comment! I will for sure say that Houdini feels and plays extra premium!
Upon first playing this machine I was impressed with the art work, but super disappointed with the gameplay. Every single shot is so difficult to make its like pulling teeth!!! I'll pass
Cliff Edward why not just keep playing the machine and gain skill to make the shot. Every table is its own.
Sammo Gaming I understand where your coming from, but I like a pinball machine that has a smooth flow to it and this one just doesn't have that whatsoever in my opinion.
Bad shot geometry, too many bad hard hits on the same center spot in the playfield. The pin is really cool but ruined by the mentioned things.
The cool thing was the ball is in the air and then that box opens,,,,instead of the box first opens then the ball shots,very Nice and that mecanism must be pretty fast.....How much is it for that machine?
It's a very cool machine, right!?
