Internet connectivity is my guess.
Think this will be awesome.....just fantastic!
Now that i have no room, more importantly divorce if anything pin related hits my house

Just think of all the extra space you'd have with all of your wife's things gone

Guess they don’t wanna miss the boat with all this extra money kicking around and our awesome exchange rate 
on a serious note quite a few friends of mine have actually been better off not working and furloughed, they have cancelled holidays for the foreseeable and had no need to fill up the car on a weekly basis as no commuting or anywhere to visit so it might actually be a shrewd move to get in quick and take advantage of the Boredom and the spare cash is some people’s pockets.
JJPs teaser seems like they don’t wanna miss out on all these possible sales but let’s hope it’s not a reveal for a pin that will be shipping this year and not the next

Cue sales of WiFi cards for JJP machines, a JJP software update to enable it, and Access Points for short-sighted Pin-Shed builders who didn’t extend their home LAN out that far!
Hmm. I remember JJP announcing that Smaug was going to be “fully interactive” and we ended up with a sock puppet so maybe ”innovation“ isn’t going to be as big as we’d suspect. Possibly the ability to change songs in the game?

LOL - when I saw hobbit I thought it reminded me of something and you nailed it!
Is the internet connectivity such a big thing? Who can not put a file onto a USB stick and put it into a game? It is not as if game updates happen every month, you get 4 or 5 a game and thats really it in most cases.
Do you remember they attempted somekind of internet connectivity at a pinball event and it didnt work??? Was that JJP?
Only useful for operators - and I would think most JJP machines go into the private sector rather than on site. What operators want to shift a JJP over a stern around the place

Hopefully they are aiming for more than just code updates like head 2 head gameplay, leader boards etc.

Depending on theme, what about inter-machine communication like NBA Fastbreak? Direct streaming of screen output to web with no camera required?
Once such a facility exists, the uses could be endless (though not necessarily useful).
Who can afford two JJP machines to link ? Good for competitions and leaderboards as suggested by @Marvello
I do think you have to get around a lot of rules/laws to stream camera footage of the game play. Have noriced in newer software the player can choose to disable the camera at game start up.
Several years ago I worked for a company who put a sim card based board in all machines - usually SWP and AWP but also a few pins.... so the site holder emptied the machine every night of cash. Weekly the card would 'call in' and say the machine took £x - and 50% of that got direct debited from the site holder. A useful way of leaving a game onsite with a set of keys so if a ball got stuck they can clear the problem - or change a rubber. The same software used to also send other stats too.
I am shocked that pinball manufacturers have not done this a decade ago. In fact in Heighway days this itea was poo poo'ed - another suggestion I wish I had never made.
You are what you drink..... and I am a bitter man......
that’s kinda the point, you don’t need to own 2 machine you can link with someone the other side of the world
Your glass is on, there’s is off .....................
Not only that. On attract mode they could push out JJP events, trailers, features, gameplay tips even ads to help pay for the coding.
Yep, can sense if the glass is out, from simple switches in the channels etc
Loads of ways to detect tampering, pf slope etc but most are easily enough bypassed to not make them worth doing
end of the day it’s only a game and only to promote a bit of craic for bored players
