That's interesting. Curious how it would hold up in an environment that may not have pinball techs on hand. I help a local operator out at a pretty busy spot, and something simple can take down a game pretty easily.

The first few weeks on location, when everything comes loose from shipping will probably be a small nightmare.

Once it's broken in, it has a fighting chance.

It probably won't get that much play anyway. Has anyone ever actually stepped foot inside a Domino's?

9 times out of 10 (especially with the ease of logging into the app to order, and even re-order of past orders), it's far too easy to just order that way. I think I stepped in once about a year ago because I just happened to be passing by.

There have been a bunch of commercials lately promoting their carry out business, a few carry out only deals.

Interesting, never knew that.

I cancelled cable a few years ago, so I'm completely behind on my pizza commercial knowledge.

Dang. So you are telling us that there will not be a "Vid's Guide To Pizza Commercials" thread?

Not when you have Daym kicking out the great reviews:

Pizza and pinball seem strange bedfellows. I like pinball and I sure like pizza, but the thought of playing a Dominoes game makes me uncomfortable. Greasy buttons, smeared glass, pepperoni inserts...

that man is far too excited about little ceasers pizza

That pizza with the garlic butter bacon crust WAS the shit.

Bring back Roma Herb crust, bitches. =|

(6 years Domino's delivery driver experience.)

I was inside one Thursday night...ordered the 3 topping large for $7.99, carry out only.

Wow, that does not sound like a gum dispenser, sounds like a full on pinball. Interesting promotion!

I'll be working on this one as well. This is definitely a pin and not some gimmick.

I think there will be a lot more than 50. I think 50 was the initial order to get the ball rolling.

I'm sure this is going to be great for charity, it sounds like they are trying to raise a lot of money and I'm sure they will succeed.

Better be "toppings" inserts like light up mushrooms and pepperoni, and a dough ball spinner.

Maybe after you make the pizza, if you can hit the doorbell shot (DING!) you get more points.

If the games are only on location at dominos stores I see dominos becoming very popular.

I see this deal as something similar to what Heighway did with that Baccardi machine. A good project to add to the war chest and keep things moving. The theme is kind of cool too. A unique theme that's different from the superheroes, bands, and dragons. It'll be interesting to see what this looks like.

That wasn't Domino's but a local pizza joint. lol Thanks though

I hate cleaning those MOTHERF---ERS....

Hmmmmm. Spooky has almost finished amh.
Rob zombie should start production in janurary.

Dominos is in the pipe and they have broken ground on the new building.

Go team spooky!

Maybe a toppings topper

Has Spooky made this public yet? I thought you only received an internal communication through Domino's about this.

There is no room for a pin in the lobby of the dominoes by me. I imagine many of the locations are like this.

When will Spooky make this pin? I thought Rob Zombie was supposed to keep them busy for the next 1.5 years.

If this is accurate, I really like the opportunity Spooky has on their hands. Hopefully there is actual thought put into the game play/modes, and this is more than just Domino's marketing pictures everywhere.

Maybe the drivers could play this while they're waiting for the next delivery run. Speaking of...I would probably go with the Domino's pizza delivery driver as the main concept. Could be similar to Taxi where you have to deliver to some famous (non-licensed) people instead of giving them a lift. You could pass other pizza chains by referring to them indirectly....Papa Tom's...Pizza Shack...etc. Then you could work your way up in terms of some kind of pizza delivery rank. Similar to badges in Galaga, but more pizza based obviously. I know the Domino's guys around here sometimes put several of those shark fin car-stick-on-toppers on the top of their vehicle so the ranks could be similar. Could even have these as the actual topper of the game.

Wizard Mode: Deliver enough pies on Super Bowl Sunday before the timer runs out to achieve Pizza King.

Or, maybe you have to progress up from Domino's spinning sign person->Store Cleaner->Delivery Runner->Pie Maker->Store Manager->Franchise Owner

Would be cool if they tied these to the internet so that all the Domino's Franchise owners can compete against each other.

I think most the modes & shots should be about all the different ways the pizza maker gets his hands dirty and gets funk on the pizza dough before the pizza goes in the oven (timer).

There should be a:
1. get the location mgr fall-down drunk wizard mode,
2. hunt to hire the most stoned driver (like TAF treasure hunt),
3. Mystery topping shot bonus (extra point for finger nails & mustache hairs),
4. Keep the phone lines busy by talking to girlfriend mode,
5. Smoke in the walk-in freezer mode,
6. Act sober in front of cop making pick-up mode,
7. Find the missing hair net mode,
8. Easter egg: Donald Trump, you're fired mode
9. Avoid getting hit on by the zit covered coworker,
10. How much fatter can you get by over eating carbs mode. Try to get fatter than the doorway so fire dept has to use jaws of life to break you out of restaurant,
11. It's not my turn to drive mode,
12. Who wants anything from Mc Donald's on my way back mode,
13. Try to explain how the floor got sticky over there, of all places mode,
14. Figure out which dipshit forgot to lock up last night mode,
15. Succeed in getting someone else to train the new employ before you strangle him (ala: TSPP Bart/Homer),
16. Find out how many of the high school girl employees the mgr is sleeping with mode.
17. Avoid getting promoted to a mgr position for a nickle raise mode,
18. Why do all my employees hate me mode,
19. How many employees still live with their mother mode,
20. Figure out how to sign your name on the job application mode,
21. Omg, I'm going to be stuck in this job for the rest of my life, realization mode,
22. Dude, where's my car mode.
...

Ya know... Make it based on the real world

There goes my plan to own every Spooky pin. I hope it's a good deal for Spooky.

Maybe it'll be a Dominos owned by Marylin Manson pin

In keeping with Taxi, make it a simple pin without a DMD. That would be cool. Instead of ordering delivery, I would just go to Domino's and wait for my pizza to be made.

Don't know too much about the business, eh?

Absolutely no driver ever wants to be in the store. At all. If you're in the store, you're doing bitch work....answering phones, cleaning the damn makeline junk (or how about those hundreds of pans for deep dish that are covered in disgusting oil, YAY!!!), scrubbing floors or walls, making pizzas (that part isn't so bad), or folding boxes (hope you like calluses on your hands). Profit margins are SH-T on pizza, especially delivered pizza, so having drivers standing around idle is a great way to go out of business or to be replaced if you're a store manager letting employees do that.

Okay, this is the one exception. There are sh-t houses and sh-t apartments that nobody wants to go to....but at least you're still getting paid mileage and not scrubbing pans.

Maybe I missed it, but didn't see anyone mention that Nate addressed this on the last Coast2Coast podcast. Of course Ben seemed to indirectly confirm it in this thread already, but Nate discussed with Charlie and this seemed to be legit. Interesting.

I wish Tim Hortons would do this

This is a fantastic idea.... and one that I've daydreamed of myself for several years with no way of really getting off the ground (corporate-themed pins). I think there's a terrific opportunity here. Will be watching with much interest.

Still hoping this goes away. If not I hope it is very profitable for Spooky Pinball LLC.

? This isn't going to be bad for them or us. This is going to be a win-win. You are actually hoping this is a huge success.

What's the reason someone would be against this? More pinball is good right?

As a pinhead and a full time employee of an independent pizza shop I approve!
There should be a very boring videomode centered around multiple phone lines and horrible customers, like who dunnit but you can't hear anything over the phone.
And all walk in freezer pot smoking jokes a side,
tip your driver and pie maker well we all have glaucoma and that gets expensive.

It would be great if they did a mode with doing NoS in the walk in cooler, like from the movie Waiting.

(Lyrics removed by mod)

Spooky is going to undercut all the other pizza themed pinballs

My daughter would be all in on this. She loves her job at Dominos.

In the thirty minute delivery mode:Multiball objective
Run the STOP signs and to hit a 72 Malibu convertible.

If it's a Dominos Pinball then I'm certain to get heartburn when I play it.

I am seriously interested in this game.
