Description
Jersey Jack Pinball x Warner Bros.
An Epic Journey Through Middle-earth
Join Bilbo, Gandalf, and Thorin's company across a widebody adventure packed with story modes, rising beasts, cinematic presentation, and the animated Smaug mechanism. The Hobbit rewards exploration with one of Jersey Jack's deepest long-form rulesets.
Adventure awaits
A 2016 Widebody Built for Long-Term Discovery
Released March 21, 2016, The Hobbit was designed by Joe Balcer with software contributions from Joe Katz, Keith P. Johnson, and Ted Estes. Jersey Jack built the game around the complete film trilogy, a 27-inch LCD, custom speech, and a rules journey that can keep revealing new objectives for years.

Documented production4,000 machines
Core layout3 flippers, 2 ramps, 11 drops
One game, many paths
Beasts, Book Modes, and the Battle of Five Armies
The journey is built around completing scenes, collecting treasure, defeating enemies, and combining objectives. Physical toys and RGB feedback make progress legible while the rules reward both short strategic games and marathon attempts at the final battle.
Pop-Up Beasts
Orcs, goblins, Wargs, and other enemies rise from the playfield as targets, locks, ramps, and magnets turn scenes into physical encounters.
Cinematic Rules Depth
Barrel Escape, Goblin-town, Elf skill shots, multiballs, and the Battle of Five Armies create a ruleset made for repeat discovery.

Four official editions
Standard vs. Limited vs. Black Arrow vs. Smaug Gold
Jersey Jack confirms four production editions. The core rules and playfield are shared, while cabinet treatments, armor, presentation details, and collector rarity distinguish them.
| Feature | Standard | Limited Edition | Black Arrow Special | Smaug Gold |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evolution price | $9,000 | $11,000 | Not currently configured | $13,500 |
| Core game | Full rules and playfield | Full rules and playfield | Full rules and playfield | Full rules and playfield |
| Visual identity | Standard cabinet and armor presentation | Distinct Limited Edition art and collector presentation | Dark stylized graphics with black armor | Rare gold-focused collector treatment |
| Smaug treatment | Interactive Smaug mechanism | Interactive Smaug mechanism | Gold Smaug with Black Arrow styling | Signature gold Smaug presentation |
| Edition distinction | Most approachable presentation | Collector-focused finish | Exclusive upper-right loop treatment and 7-speaker presentation | Rarest named edition |
| Production status | Out of production | Out of production | Out of production | Out of production |
Important: Black Arrow is part of the official edition history, but it is not currently configured as a purchasable Evolution Pinball variant. Because every edition is out of production, displayed prices reflect Evolution's configured collector inventory rather than a current manufacturer MSRP. Confirm exact condition and availability before ordering.

Buyer guidance
Choose the Edition, Condition, and Presentation That Fit
The game itself is deep in every edition, so the best choice depends on cosmetic preference, rarity, condition, and price. For an out-of-production machine, cabinet condition, playfield wear, software readiness, and included collector parts matter as much as the edition badge.
- Choose Standard when gameplay matters more than collector trim.
- Choose Limited Edition for a more distinctive collector presentation.
- Consider Black Arrow or Smaug Gold when rarity and visual identity justify a premium.
- Ask Evolution Pinball to confirm the exact machine, condition, delivery route, and setup plan before checkout.
