The Designer Behind Some of Jersey Jack Pinball's Most Ambitious Games
In just a handful of designs, Eric Meunier has established himself as one of the most respected modern pinball designers.
Unlike many legendary designers who created dozens of machines over several decades, Meunier has focused on quality over quantity. Every one of his games is packed with mechanical features, deep rules, multiple objectives and spectacular presentation, making them favourites among collectors who enjoy long-term ownership and complex gameplay.
Before becoming a game designer, Meunier worked as an electronics engineer during Jersey Jack Pinball's early years. That technical background helped shape his design philosophy, resulting in machines filled with innovative mechanisms and impressive engineering.
Pirates of the Caribbean
Eric Meunier made his design debut with Pirates of the Caribbean, and it remains one of the most ambitious pinball machines ever produced.
The game features an astonishing number of shots, mechanical toys, playable characters, deep rules and layered objectives that can take years to fully master. It's widely considered one of Jersey Jack Pinball's greatest achievements and remains one of the company's most desirable machines.
We explored this incredible game in our Pirates of the Caribbean Pinball Mods collection, where you'll also discover premium artwork designed specifically for the machine.
Guns N' Roses
Rather than slowing down after his debut, Meunier followed it with another feature-packed masterpiece.
Guns N' Roses delivers an experience unlike almost any other music pinball machine, combining synchronized lighting, spectacular concert effects, deep software and one of the best sound systems ever fitted to a pinball machine.
If you own one, our Guns N' Roses Pinball Mods page showcases artwork designed to complement its incredible presentation.
The Godfather
With The Godfather, Eric Meunier proved he could design more than fantasy adventures and music-themed games.
Widely praised for its strategic gameplay and rewarding ruleset, The Godfather is also one of the most beautiful machines Jersey Jack has ever produced.
A huge part of that visual impact comes from the artwork of Christopher Franchi, whose elegant illustrations perfectly capture the atmosphere of the classic film while giving the machine a premium collector feel. The result is a game that's every bit as stunning to look at as it is to play.
Collectors looking to enhance that artwork even further can explore our Godfather Pinball Mods sellection.
The most famous wizard
Eric Meunier's latest design has quickly become one of the most talked-about machines in modern pinball.
Early reactions from collectors have been overwhelmingly positive, with praise for its flowing layout, exceptional toys, satisfying progression and the sheer amount of content packed into every game.

Eric Meunier's Design Philosophy
Although each of his games has a completely different theme, they all share several characteristics.

Rather than focusing on simplicity, Meunier builds machines that continue revealing new strategies after hundreds of games. His designs are rich, immersive and packed with things happening at almost every moment, making them particularly appealing to collectors looking for long-term depth.
As his catalogue continues to grow, Eric Meunier is already establishing himself as one of the defining designers of the modern era.
