Pokemon Drives Strong Demand At Amusement Expo

At the Amusement Expo International in Las Vegas (week of March 19, 2026), Stern Pinball’s new Pokemon pinball machine sold out and is back-ordered, with operators reporting three- to five-times higher earnings than other machines. The four-day trade show attracted more than 5,500 attendees and 300 exhibitors and highlighted trends including trading-card vending, AI-powered claw machines, classic arcade remakes, and rising international basketball-game demand.
