Pulp Fiction Pinball Gets Connected with Scorbit in New Code Update
The eagerly anticipated update for the hit pinball machine adds built-in Scorbit support and gameplay improvements, plus a $99.99 Online Upgrade Kit shipping in November
CHICAGO (October 15, 2026): Play Mechanix Pinball and Scorbit today announced the release of Pulp Fiction Pinball game code v1.03, which includes Scorbit integration directly into the game. The update will be available to download in November and also includes gameplay fixes and scoring adjustments. Pulp Fiction Pinball is developed by Play Mechanix Pinball and manufactured and distributed by Chicago Gaming Company.
Developed through collaboration between Play Mechanix Pinball and Scorbit, the connected pinball integration makes it simple to bring a Pulp Fiction Pinball machine onto the Scorbit platform. Once a game is connected, players can track their scores and game progress and follow live leaderboards and scoreboards with ScorbitVision.
Operators, arcade owners and venue owners can also add their Pulp Fiction Pinball games to the Scorbit network. Scorbit enables them to offer digital payments alongside coin drop and give customers competition features such as tournaments and head-to-head matches, helping the game earn more revenue on location.
“When looking for the best way to add online play features to Pulp Fiction Pinball, Scorbit stood out among the rest,” said George Petro, President of Play Mechanix. “The Scorbit team is completely focused on adding connectivity to the entire pinball community. No other system comes close to Scorbit when it comes to the number of games supported. We are absolutely thrilled to add Pulp Fiction Pinball to that list.”
“Pulp Fiction Pinball has a devoted following, and we’re excited to bring these players onto the Scorbit platform,” said Jay Adelson, CEO of Scorbit. “From the first ball, players can track and share every game, compete on live leaderboards, and follow the action in the Scorbit app. Operators can bring their machines into Scorbit tournaments and showcase the excitement on location with ScorbitVision displays. We’re grateful to George and the teams at Play Mechanix Pinball and Chicago Gaming Company for making this possible, and especially to the passionate Pulp Fiction Pinball owners for their patience. We can’t wait to see these machines connected and take the experience to a whole new level!”
Version 1.03 also brings a round of gameplay fixes and tuning that players have been eagerly anticipating. Scoring has been rebalanced in Briefcase Boogie, Pawn Shop Panic and BMF Wallet. Tilt warnings once again follow the TILT WARNING adjustment, and bonus advance has been removed from the flipper return lanes and when completing P-U-L-P. The update also fixes issues involving the right saucer, HOLD CAST and bonus units in attract mode. Players can find the full list of changes in the v1.03 release notes below.

- Returned tilt warning logic to tilt the machine on the warning number set in the TILT WARNING adjustment (e.g. if adjustment set to ‘3’, then the machine tilts on the 3rd warning).
