About Jaws (50th Anniversary)

Celebrate half a century of the film that defined the summer blockbuster! Designed by the modern GOAT Keith Elwin, Stern’s Jaws 50th Anniversary Edition is a high-end tribute to Spielberg’s 1975 masterpiece. This 2025 special release features an exclusive “Blood Red” armor kit, brass powder-coated wireforms, and a stunning “glitter-enhanced” playfield that makes the Amity Island water shimmer under the glass.

The game is packed with cinematic tension, featuring a motorized shark fin that cruises across the playfield and a Great White shark bash toy that crashes through a wrecked fishing boat. Players board the Orca upper playfield, navigating a lookout tower ramp and a ship’s wheel spinner. With the original John Williams score and custom speech by Richard Dreyfuss, the immersion is absolute.

Why Play It?

Praised on Pinside and Tilt Forums for its “unmatched kinetic flow,” this edition includes the definitive v1.0 code, introducing Co-op and Team Play modes. Whether you’re hunting the apex predator in the “Shark Is Broken” challenge or aiming for the final “Smile You Sonofa…” wizard mode, it’s the ultimate hunt.

Come test your skills and see if you’re brave enough to rescue Amity Island – but remember, you’re going to need a bigger boat!

Rules

Find the summary of the rules below.

Main Objectives:
To reach the final wizard mode, you must master three main paths..
> Shark encounters (Blue): Bash the boat/captive ball to light modes at the 5 beach shots. Complete all 5 to reach the 4th of July mini-wizard mode.
> Jaw Multiballs (Red): Film the chum line to attach barrels to the shark. Attach enough barrels to play through 3 levels of Jaws Multiball.
> Bounty Hunts: Spin the fishing reel or hit the ramp to hunt specific sharks. Capture all 4 sharks to qualify for the Great White bounty.

Key Mechanics:
> Flip-Lock: During multiballs, the mini flipper can trap a ball. Press the action button to hold it there, giving you a 20 second scoring boost and making the table easier to manage.
> Gear: Collect items like Oxygen Tanks (timer boosts) or Binoculars (faster beach closing) at the right ramp. Collecting all 6 allows you to sell gear for a massive point bonus.
> Machete Multipliers: Completing shark encounters adds a permanent machete multiplier to specific shots for the rest of the game.
> Quickshots: Hit the harpoon lane followed immediately by the shark fun to earn gear and big points.
