Coinless Pinball: The Mysterious Front Portion of Turner Pinball’s Ninja Eclipse Machine Revealed

Two days ago, Turner Pinball shared a teaser photo of its upcoming first pinball machine, Ninja Eclipse, with the front portion hidden behind a sign that said...

TOP SECRET

TO BE REVEALED SOON

Well, here's the reveal. I'm getting some of this second hand and the official Turner Pinball Expo seminar is not until tomorrow Friday, October 20th at 2:00 PM. They do have quite a bit of information on their new innovations on their website (see below).

No it's not a Pinbar as many had speculated. It's Coinless Pinball, at least that's what I'm calling it. Ninja Eclipse does not have a Coin Door. Instead, it has two buttons in the front. The machines use the Turner Pinball's new "PinAccess" app to change the settings of the game and its "PinPay" system for players to pay for games.

The Ninja Eclipse cabinet is unique in that the glass is hinged. It flips up, attached to the back and can be pulled out and detached if necessary along with the apron. The glass release mech is under the front of the machine.

Turner just opened up the pre-order section of its website. The Company is taking $150 non-refundable, non-transferrable deposits now for machines that are expected to ship in "Spring 2024." Ninja Eclipse is priced at $9,777. Production is limited to 100 "First Edition" units.

Below is a bunch of information on the game from Turner's website:
