The Game Play

Two modes of play (8 ball or 9 ball) can be selected by the flippers before you shoot the first ball. Depending on the game selected, the rules change for which balls need to be spotted and in which order to trigger trick shots.

Rating

Game play is very fast, really like the connecting ramps and there is plenty to shoot for - buildable jackpots and plenty of skill shots. Lots of flashing lights and a good array of speech and sounds. And of course, run by one of the best operating system (11C) in pinball. Excellent entry level pinball for the first time pinball enthusiast.

ENTERTAINING GAME.

Judge for yourself.
