Best 24 Pinball Mods

When Stern released 24 in 2009, it arrived with one of television's most exciting licences.

Based on the hit action series starring Jack Bauer, the machine captures the urgency, tension and fast-paced atmosphere that made the show a worldwide success. Combined with a layout designed by Steve Ritchie, 24 delivers exactly what fans would expect—fast shots, satisfying flow and nonstop action.

Although it doesn't always receive the attention of some of Stern's biggest titles, 24 remains one of the most underrated modern pinball machines.

An Underrated Steve Ritchie Design

Steve Ritchie has designed some of the fastest and most enjoyable pinball machines ever built, and 24 is no exception.

The layout encourages quick combinations, smooth flow and constant decision-making, creating a game that's immediately fun while still rewarding skilled players.

Despite flying under the radar compared to titles like AC/DC or Star Trek, many collectors believe 24 deserves far more recognition.

A Perfect Theme for Pinball

The television series was built around speed, tension and split-second decisions.

That translates surprisingly well into pinball.

Fast gameplay, dramatic callouts and the constant feeling of urgency make every game feel like another mission with Jack Bauer trying to save the day before time runs out.

Even years after its release, 24 remains a unique licence in the pinball world.

Extend the Cabinet Artwork

Our 24 WizBlades transform the inside of the cabinet with artwork inspired by the original machine, creating a more immersive experience every time you step up to play.

Designed to complement Stern's factory artwork, they blend naturally with the cabinet while adding even more visual impact.

Complete the Speaker Panel

The speaker panel is one of the first areas players notice.

Our 24 WizPanels extend the machine's artwork across the front of the backbox, giving the cabinet a cleaner, more complete appearance that feels like it could have come directly from the factory.

Upgrade Every Detail

Sometimes it's the smallest upgrades that make the biggest difference.

Our 24 WizDoors continue the artwork onto the coin door, while matching 24 WizBats bring the design directly onto the flippers for a cohesive look across the entire machine.

Every piece has been designed to work together without overpowering Stern's original artwork.

A Magnetic WizApron

One of the standout upgrades in our collection is the 24 Magnetic WizApron.

Because it's magnetic, installation is quick and completely reversible while dramatically changing the appearance of the lower playfield.

It's an easy way to personalise the machine without making permanent modifications.

A Hidden Gem Worth Personalising

24 may not always appear on lists of the most famous Stern machines, but that's exactly what makes it such an interesting choice.

Great gameplay, Steve Ritchie's signature flow and a licence that perfectly suits pinball combine to create one of the hobby's most underrated modern games.

If you're lucky enough to own one, Wizard Mod has a complete collection of premium custom artwork designed to make your machine look even better.
