The voices need tuning. The girl voice at the end sounds like a crackwhore. Worse than the mystery rider guy.

this is quite fun, i'm still hopeless at it though so i'm looking forwards to the strategy thread.

all i know so far is that there's plenty of points to be had in standard slots multiball, which you can get over and over with the centre ramp. also the bank multiball from getting 100 chips is quite lucrative, and getting the casino frenzy thing from winning all the games is also lots of fun. do i really have to read all those rules? there's loads of it, can someone not just give me a nice 100 word summary please?

1. Break The Bank.
2. Casino Frenzy.
3. Slots Multi-Ball.

In that order, really. I've got 300m+ from Break The Bank; 250m or so is my best so far in Casino Frenzy; and I can get 80m or so in Slots Multi-Ball. Others will have done far better than me but I imagine their results are similarly proportioned.

- Break The Bank is relatively easy to get - just keep spamming Roulette. With the way the bumpers are on this table, that shouldn't be difficult.
- Casino Frenzy is easy enough the first time (just stop TRYING to shoot that right orbit...) but gets more difficult as Slots gets more difficult to light (and the unlit Slots ramp is a Drain-o-Matic shot). Cheat Games are your friend but try not to waste 'em on Roulette, Hi-Lo, Blackjack or Slots the first time around.
- Get Slots Multi-Ball from shooting the Slots and Lock for the first one. DO NOT choose it as an award from Roll And Win unless you're forced to, until after you've started it "normally" the first time. Picking it from Roll And Win counts as if you'd done the whole Slots/Lock thing for that Multiball, and advances the number of shots needed to re-light Slots etc. Getting Slots Multi-Ball a second/third time "naturally" gets more difficult, simply because that unlit Slots ramp sends the ball screaming back STDM.

Finally getting around to playing this. So far I like. Glad it doesn't have the rolly polly ball physics.

Agreed on the right orbit...DANG it's tough to hit. I enjoy a challenge though so no biggie. Gonna have to read the rules on this one, I have no idea what I'm doing. :p

If you backhand slots from left flipper then keep holding flipper up, the ball usually just bounces right back to trap on left flipper.

Not just tough - it appears to literally be impossible from a catch, there is no possible trajectory that sends the ball up there.

However, I can hit it with some consistency (~30%) by starting from a right side catch and shooting the orbit on the semi-fly from a post pass. Works best if you don't raise the left flipper at all until the actual shot. Still, you shouldn't have to do this silliness at all to hit any shot.

Collected my last wizard goal yesterday evening too, with a 2,6 billion score. I'm now #12 on the leaderboards! Huzzah! :D

However, this table really is in need for some tuning, though. Not just because of the somewhat interminable roulette game and the unreachable right orbit... but also because of the lower area. I've had so many tilts because I was desperately trying to save a ball it's not even funny.

about those.......... I just can't get CRAPS to register? Do I have to win it in some special way or what?
And question about slot machine. Sometimes the ball goes in when the green light is on but what happens is that ball goes back SDTM. Is there something in it that blocks the ball or what? Gambling really insn't my thing and I have no idea what am I doing.

I don't get the CRAPS thing either, but then again I have no idea how to play the actual game as well. (Or Poker or Black Jack for that matter.) I just hit the target as many times as I could... and eventually it registered. lol

As for the multiball lock, that tends to happen for me as well. Been wondering about it too. Somewhat reminds me of the lock in Fish Tales. That one wasn't always keen on keeping the ball either from what I remember.

The multiball lock, the ball has to go all the way up the ramp. Weak shots up the ramp when lock is lit will go STDM.

Craps is the most difficult game to understand. However my understanding is that as long as you light the "Craps" light in the grid by way of hitting the "Craps" target, that should trigger the goal. It was 2 or 3 times before it registered for me as well, and I know that I "won" at Craps by hitting the target on at least one of those. So yeah, that goal registration is a bit broken.

not true. often it smacks up the ramp at top speed, seems to hit something, then bounces straight out. it happens at all speeds and i think at all angles, there's something in the way there. maybe the virtual designer left his virtual screwdriver on the virtual playfield up there or something, it's really annoying.

well, I won that crap more than 20 times and nothing.... Some goals were registerd during beta and I was hoping that this one will when the table is out but still nothing.

So here's how you play Craps:

On your first roll, you'll get a point for whatever you roll. If you roll a 7, you automatically win. If you roll a 2, 3, or 12, you automatically lose.
On subsequent rolls, you are able to roll anything BUT a 7, otherwise you lose. You must try and get that point again to win the casino game.

On Blackjack, you must try and get as close to 21 as possible by hitting on adding cards. If you go above, you'll Bust and lose the game. Your hand must also be better than the dealer's hand. If the dealer stops too low to catch you, or Busts, OR if you manage to get 21, you win.

On Poker: You can collect a maximum of 5 cards before playing this game. Your hand is determined by what targets you drop and hit. It must also be better than the Dealer's hand. Below is the payout table and the card bank, so play your cards wisely. (Unlisted is the cheat Royal Flush, worth 15 Chips.)
