''Kingpin'' is a 1996 PhysicalPinballTable from Creator/{{Capcom}}, designed by Creator/MarkRitchie and illustrated by Stan Fukuoka.

''Kingpin'' was developed for Creator/{{Capcom}} by Creator/MarkRitchie after his non-competitive clause with Creator/WilliamsElectronics had expired. It was slated to begin production after ''Pinball/BigBangBar,'' but Capcom closed its pinball division before manufacturing could begin. As a result, only eight near-complete prototypes exist, though it sometimes appears at trade shows and expos, drawing crowds looking for a chance to play this rare title. Although Gene Cunningham of Illinois Pinball Inc. has announced plans to reverse-engineer it for wide release, no official release has been announced yet, and the few remaining games are highly sought after by die-hard collectors.

-->>'''Trixie:''' "Hey, Kid, how about a little action?"

Taking place in TheRoaringTwenties, you take the role of "The Kid," the ambitious new member of the Big City's criminal underground. Ingrain yourself by delivering stolen goods, gunrunning, heisting trains, and paying off crooked cops, then relax with some slots at the Hotel Lex. Increase your firepower with the Two-Ball Fury, the Three-Ball Raid, and the Arms Race, and collect the Power-Up Payola to build up your Strength Meter. Finally, set your sights to the top of TheSyndicate itself -- take out the various lieutenants in your way, then confront the Kingpin himself in a shootout for control of the Mob.
