Pinball Hire at GIRO 2025 with Optalitix

GIRO & Optalitix

GIRO is a long-established UK conference for professionals working in general insurance, actuarial science and analytics. The event attracts senior figures involved in pricing, reserving, underwriting and risk modelling. Optalitix exhibited at GIRO to demonstrate its software platforms, which enable insurers and MGAs to deploy pricing and decision models more efficiently, consistently and at scale.

As part of its stand design, Optalitix incorporated the Beatles pinball machine and throughout the exhibition invited delegates to take part in a Beatles pinball challenge.

The Beatles Diamond Edition

The Beatles™ Diamond Edition Pinball by Stern Pinball is an ultra-limited collector model, with production restricted to just 100 machines worldwide and was produced exclusively for premium collectors and specialist installations.

Built on Stern’s SPIKE™ 2 system, the game features a fast, precision-focused playfield designed by Joe Kaminkow. The layout uses a traditional two-flipper design with stand-up targets, drop targets and spinner shots, deliberately echoing the pace and simplicity of early pinball. Gameplay is skill-driven, with rules centred on song modes, album progression and band member features.

The Diamond Edition is visually distinguished by exclusive cabinet artwork, a mirrored backglass, upgraded trim and enhanced RGB lighting effects not found on other versions. Each cabinet is individually numbered and permanently marked as part of the 100-unit Diamond Edition run.

Officially licensed Beatles music and video content are displayed on the LCD screen, complemented by dynamic lighting sequences during gameplay. Due to its extremely limited production, the Beatles Diamond Edition is rarely seen outside private collections and remains one of Stern Pinball’s most desirable modern limited-edition releases.
