ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL, April 23, 2024 — Stern Pinball, the global leader in the design and manufacture of pinball machines, has rolled out an electrifying update for its James Bond 007 pinball game series. The new v1.00.0 code is now available for Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition models, introducing the eagerly awaited final wizard mode: HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.

This intricately designed mode challenges players like never before, utilizing a flips-based mechanic. To qualify for this mode, players must illuminate all the central Film Title inserts, which involves conquering all Villain, Henchmen, Q-Branch, and SPECTRE Weapon modes. HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE comprises six thrilling stages, each representing a different film. The stages must be played in the order in which the film titles were solidified.

In this mode, players are initially granted a limited number of flips, but can earn 10 additional bonus flips for each mode completed prior. Each of the six Film Stages adds another 35 flips, with the transition to MI6 Multiball adding a generous 70 flips. The innovative gameplay also includes a feature where a ball is added after the first Film mode; if this ball drains, it doesn't return in that stage, nor does it reduce the flip count. Notably, scores double when two balls are in play, reverting to normal once a single ball remains.

Beyond the thrilling new wizard mode, this update enhances the overall game experience with the introduction of the final two SPECTRE Weapon Perks: "Bath-O-Sub Bash," which extends SUPER modes and awards, and "Death by Derby," which offers upgraded awards at High Stakes Mystery. The update also includes additional refinements, game adjustments, and critical bug fixes to ensure smoother, more engaging gameplay.

Players eager to see this new code in action can tune into Stern's YouTube channel where the design team showcases the updated gameplay. For those ready to dive in, the update is available for automatic download via the award-winning Insider Connected platform. Simply navigate to the Software Update menu through the Test Mode accessed via the coin door.
