the law, the news ask what you make an pinball things, and now bells and whistles biggest These, like one big pinball machine, is never even to walk through the casino their dismay, my neck muscles tat. Now man, I hate Vegas, I like Vegas, Now wait a minute I wouldn't want to live in Vegas, Sir, like go to Vegas every weekend or anything like apple going to Vegas. Once a year went every couple years. That's fine with me you're, not for me. I mean I've been obliged in I'm done are you done with Vegas? That's all you say, and I don't see any reason to go back. I guarantee somebody you wanna see will have some sort of residency out there. You will be back in Vegas when I'm like. Sixty four here,

like pavement, we'll have a reservation. These valleys, exactly, I think, what's going to happen, love than you'll find me a living in Vegas. My friend eager see I get back on the biggest trade, but that sound yeah. It's like a million pinball machines that take your money faster then bomb machines yet knows that in early worry about pinball. Actually, as we will soon see cause, I say Chuck Sty right into the history of pinball scam, so pillow machines actually find there needs back in the nineteenth century there were things called them? What were they? I want is a beggar machines, but that's not correct the beggar tell table yes, the beggar tell table. Thank you. They were basically a cross between pool in pinball, ease of poor q and everything they sat and nobody like them and the global ethic it looks pretty cool. Does it looks

embodying the me. Well, I mean it's if you use to our modern gaming right. I thought this pact thrill you, but I thought that look at any, so the beggar tell table was there, it was in place and in the eighteen, thirty two gaining might hear Red Grove came along, like you can't not say that guy's name like that, he came along and you know what just invented a spring purchases. Naming a Montague red ran like you, Madame yeah and if he came along its it somebody invented a spring recently. I, when he added to this vague, you tell table

yeah, make it worth Sukhi and then all of a sudden we have the the. What did he call it? The ball shooter yeah, which makes sense Chirk, that's what you call it, and now we had the first introduced mechanism of pinball. Things are starting to take shape a little bit here here, but you didn't stick a coin in a game. What you would do us can like pool tables these days at a bar? You would go up to the keeper of the balls and say here: some money Gimme, my balls and let me go play the game on the bag. It tell table yeah and everyone I we're late. He would go. You know it sucks, don't you and you say yes, but his faith in thirty year, and if I play Well then, I can win free drinks in cigarettes now, and they said exactly here: can you feel twelve year old, winning cigarettes and then going back to play more baggy tell her. So this is the way it went for many decades. People are missing

four until the nineteen thirties and there is enormous explosion of innovation and pool table rate in the thirties yeah. I like just almost everything that you think of when you think of a pool to uphold them. We ve been Saint Weapon, Saint Paul table just for the last, like men Didn't you correct me? I thought you were talking about both a well defined in Panama anyway in the There is a huge explosion and in Bari, pinball area and everything that you think of when it, when you think of a pillow machine. Almost all of it came about in the thirties coin operation through the back glass

that has like I kissed, Sir Hugh have neuron it or something like that. Yes stands up off the playing field, the table of electric. Why just an electric current running through it yeah legs? Sure the tilt mechanism me hampers yeah sounds yeah score. Keeping in others. Of course, I think I said bumpers had I not that I know maybe but bumpers and then, most of all, most importantly, Chuck was the thirties led through huge search and popularity, because here the great depression in pimples were cheap entertainment that were wide widely available. You noticed one thing: we didn't Saito and all that innovation. What flippers, because still up until nineteen forty seven years but the thing to make the ball move yeah there were no slippers.

Now, which seems very counter intuitive dependable and the slippers really changed things. A fundamentally changed, pinball tech here, not just in the way you play, but in pinball as a game, because before flippers it was a game of chance. It was the same thing is playing like come highly basically yeah. I like you, had no way really of manipulating the move. The ball. They shake them. Sheen you could wear tilting. I mean that's what you did yeah. That was how you did it even still it it is. The amount of skill it took was my new compared to the skill that could be used once flippers were introduced in ball wizardry and it became a game of skill yeah, I'm an but before that the like us have things are popular, get this in the early thirties. There are a hundred and forty five companies making pay more machines and feel became so competitive and ruthless that by the

MID thirty's like five years later. Yet there are fourteen year most of those were base in Chicago, which became sort of the pinball capital the World Yet- and I ve never been there, but I bet you anything. Chicago still has a lot of a lot more can Mama chains and elsewhere. I was trying to think of it like this researching. This made me want to go play pinball like researching, so maybe wanna go eat sushi, and I was thinking like. I have no idea where to go to play. Pinball yeah, we're gonna, my brother's house. Does he have on these yet three, I love your brother more now. Did he built a whole game room of course, because that's what my brother does? What does he have? He has ever. He has a Tom cat S, fourteen which is the rip off of top gun. I see now there's a lot. There is a lot, a rip off games for awhile of movies and actual movie time games yeah. He has black hole, but not the movie,

Another rip off came. Ok, I would love at once. He knows about, can old school and then he has a drastic park, which is a newer. I think didn't have like a t rex it comes. I eat your ball I remember how I feel about Algeria them, but here, and he also kit this. He took an old video game like stand. A video game council and removed all the guts got a computer screen and computer and that up in there to where you can play all the old school games in others. Programmes are now and change the screen vertically, so it just looks like a regular arcade game and you can go up and play frog or in Spain. They asked Scott ever. Let me over please and it's all free, that's so awesome, Israelis like Ricky Schroeder and silver spoons, or something but grown up, yeah pretty much, and I think the reason why dont,

more pinball over there is cause Ross point Ping pong yeah, that's a game of skill and loving on, but I'll trinket, independent game and I wanna play some pinball. So bad was discovered. Roswell did ok if it right now, and I, if I, if I click democracies, it would definitely be made the MID seventy, amid eightys for me, you would think the Haiti yeah. Thirdly, and all the bells and muscles, and all that the new fangled bells and whistles defined, that's called yet like now so all that it's like electromechanical yeah, but not so new- that it's like nothing but like plasma screens and suchlike. Well, my or, in the middle sure sure I'm unseemly my favorite game of all time, pinball wise. They were gay marriage Gallagher, but a fair game. Pinball eyes was Adams, family, pinball yeah, and then I learned in this article. That is the top selling game of all time from nineteen anyone, oh yeah. I think it is

either Bell your Williams put that went out and they saw more than twenty thousand units of it did its awesome then surprise me like. I have no authority for the Adams family, but it's the best pinball game. I've ever played and when I saw was number one a cycle. Of course it is. Is this the best one european family no I mean I like it fine, but it is added play it because of the movie I played it gives it was an awesome, pinball, Game Piazza and they had won at them. Ah, let them all the bowling alley near me in Athens Bowling Alley. That's right, polygon, finally, demolishing huh, yeah, ok, that I could- or maybe not. Sadly, I'm certain requests. So

tell you must go. My brother's ask as became a scotch ok, so anyway, nineteen forty seven is when they finally invented the flipper d got leave company introduced a game called Humpty dumpty, and that was where what most people say. The first modern game came about right. It took at the lower flippers all the innovations authorities and add a footprint boom. You got pinball not pool table pinball pretty much older than flippers weren't the same. It was on the nineteen fifty the same person and came up a spot, fuller, and that was the first modern arrangement, the flippers right, and they were longer with that introduction

girls a little later on the four, the first flippers they introduce where they were shorter yet and they didn't faces, they face the reverse of the way they face now, weird physical. They will work in it out here beta very much, so it's fine that they introduce flippers a nineteen, forty, seven because nineteen, forty seven by the time flippers came round. Pinball was illegal and most of the major cities in the United States and have been for several years and never. I think I had heard this once and forgotten it. But timber is totally outlawed because they equated to gambling because it was not a game of skill which I guess, because you get prizes. Merely guardia who you remember from the burlesque podcast was a bit of a moralist. Although he was a wet politician, he was in favour of repealing prohibition. He hated pinball,

He he thought I was a mafia racket. He thought that it rob the quote: pockets a school children in the forest nickels and dimes ganda them as lunch money and he got outlawed in New York and once it is outlawed, he ordered like really germanic, Ray you're right after Pearl Harbor He said you know what we need to do the Japanese or respond us. We need to get rid of these pinball machines, and so let's go round him up like a red style with smashing with sledge hammers was dumped in the river designated. They dont them in the river after they smashed that's a very new York. Nineteen forty sing, the exact I'll betcha there still pinball machines down their opinions brave enough to get into the EAST River. I don't think they are now. We should say also give a shoutout to popular mechanics. You were working offer, impart really awesome article. They came up with eleven things. You didn't know about him. All history, yeah

so from the forties until the mid nineties seventies. If you wanted to play pinball in New York, city and Chicago Andella, most city, in the USA has illegal. You had to go to pornography shot. Basically, in go behind the curtain, inflate ping pong weird it's the weirdest thing we ve ever set on this until the middle of the seven and like there are still raids and TIM operators. Yet a j I need a little five year old Chuck. I would. It had been dropped off at a pawn shop to play pinball juncture. Your parents would have been happy to do. He did, and I played pinball I didn't look at needy people. Did you really know of ours in saving? Is put my mind now and get this the city of open now. Can California lockdown just this past July?

overturned and eighty year ban on Pinball free, the pin bottlers yeah set for them, so pebbles ban people are still playing it like crazy here and apparently the manufactures realise. This is well because they're still innovating in adding in making new- Games and machines and all sorts of stuff. Yet while this is after all, were too there were things really slow down? I because the war effort Bramble was big. Dent was put in pinball manufacturing to yeah like everything else and then after the fifties took off again, and it also became a kind of a symbol of rebellious youth. Popular mechanics, article points out like the fonts yeah, played a lotta pinball. I never consider that from army from the, whose Tommy, here the Timor Wizard and Tommy both calendar year, rebellious Lake they get in your ear. The Guardia yeah

seems, so we now to think about that. But when Tommy came out it was illegal, so pinball was sort of fur yeah. I guess it's just the rebels, yeah you're anti authoritarian. If you played timber, it was just an image of a year and then the great Simpsons quote. Joe Bob said, television is ruined more young minds than pinball and syphilis, combined that when we were right over my head, when I heard the first time, I've got all that silly pinball right that I didn't think about like moral turpitude guiding give that one even here, but So luckily timber was still widely available, albeit in the backs of pornography shops and the reason we say luckily is because somewhere along the way, a young man, I think in his early twenties, named Roger Sharp, whose magazine editor was called upon to save the pinball world at New York City Council meeting here they. Finally,

hey City Council. Can we get a hearing on pinball machines? You guys are being ridiculous. Bicentennial of this country and we need them. Ball is american. Is America gets net as pornography so they secure. Why be hearing, because their intent was to prove that the game of skill and not chance, which is the whole rub in the first place near their pinball wizard game of chance is gambling church the Guardia had appoint or elsewhere. Get it, but this law is obsolete because they added flippers analysis, game skill, but the law is still around here basically said they brought in their pinball wizard shot and they brought to machines because and broke down. They wanted to have a back up near and some jerk councilmen when he went to play games had none anonymous. Once you play the other game, the back up, what you had a backup game and sharp started sweating casino- another good at that came. He had ever play before. I'm a master this one, but he's humble wizards, I believed them yet

I did not happened. Did you? Did you see that the documentary special in late now- oh my god- has footage. Honey. It's amazing amazing document or hear all about timber. I mean all about tomorrow is not so awesome document or things one cup filth as well. There is that's about a specific moment in history. All. I haven't seen that one, but it sounds pretty good Syria, but see special win, lit the amazing catch it and she told you it was video so I'm right, shops playing he's, not really impressing. Anybody and things are going to go in bad here and he decides to do a babe Ruth call. He pulls back the plunder before releases it because I'm goin up them oh I'll here you're just so you know, if you ve, never seen a pin, ballgame you, you pull the plunder it sheets, the bar at the right hand, side through a trough, and then it is spit it out at the top and

he was trying to prove as where I'm gonna spit it out and where it's gonna start its descent back to me is going to be in a very specific place in the center of the board of nonetheless not honour. I run of the mill and dumb He did it and apparently right afterward. The city council was like ok will repeal it, like is obviously a game of still like Roger Sharp Single handedly will double handedly, confusing the flippers saved symbol for illegality. I wonder if they said yes, fine, good, Lord, just its legal, give us machines how to hear this lizard out here, but he is not a loser because he is currently still the number five hundred and thirty six rank player in the world. I'm surprised I thought he went on to be, I think, at the time

is number one, which is why they chose him. They probably was that he's been falling ever sent men. That's another thing in special when let there are some like really good timber players, we'll get the list of quickly over the top five number one in the world as of today, two thousand fourteen August, whatever it is Keith Elwin of the USA, is not U S a Urien Ingle bricks than of sweetness number two. Sweden's Zack Sharp recognise that name. The towns vaguely familiar Roger son. He's a number we play in the world? There are some number four Daniela Celeste Dino Axiomatic. Was that he's italian or your again

Home is also swedish. She's number five is a canadian six, a swedish seven than eight through twenty save one. Are all Americans wowie and never twenties, Josh Sharp, so his sons followed in which that that's great and are both tat. Twenty ranked players, that's good and a bit Josh's soups jealous Zack, maybe maybe just as also is like I'm gonna, be a veterinary and pay more attention to that kind of thing. Maybe so so pinball was saved by Roger shot hurray and dumb pinball kept going on and on apparently had its golden. They age is widely believed between eighteen, forty, eight nineteen, fifty eight, but it was also a huge in the seventies huge in the eighties, and then video games came along and all of a sudden pinball is like an absurd decline. In decline and declining decline- and I think we were down- maybe five major pinball machine producer

yeah and by major I mean the only ones yet there are many minor up Let me now because I mean I saw it- takes a lot of time and effort to manufacture functioning Emily, pinball game so by the Ninetys, there were just a couple: less everybody's selling off their pinball divisions, and there was a company called Valley Williams, which were former competitors that emerged, and this is what the documentary tilted about. They went to their pinball division and said: hey you guys are great the pinball world, but the pinball world sucks. We want more money out of you guys. What are you gonna do at pinball, two thousand? Yes, they came up with bought two thousand the aid. We will give you a chance to save yourselves figure out what will revive pinball for the twenty first century and they came up with ten ball two thousand yards basis.

A hybrid of video gaming and pinball, where you have a kind of a standard pinball set up, but a video screen, that's interactive area, as the back backdrop, ought no on the playing field to select the holograms pop up on. The on the playing board, an like run away from the ball in interacted the ball. It stinks, though they know, unlike that, have you played it. I haven't played it, but I saw videos of it and it didn't look like fun and no one might hit. So the thing is is like the One are required, pointed out like it wasn't given the chance to flourish like the idea was great and the fact that they pull it off successfully is really something boy, but only two games right when I think each one had a few thousand production run here, but there is star wars, episode wine, which my theory. The reason pinball two thousand went nowhere charge your bags.

Furthermore, my revenge from Mars and down you can still find those views today, but despite the fact that timber two thousand was created with the air was ok as far as successes go via values, pull the plug yeah, which, like one penny stern. There's a guy named Michael Stern, I believe who inherited his father's business and dumb became the only people making pinball machines in the world still No, I was only one now yet mean oh good. Had we been have we been recording this two years ago that we would have basically been saying like pimples dead, if, on its last legs, there's one company making it? they ve started delay off their designers because we know the crazy you're now some of this disease, went on some of the stern vets when I'm founded a company called Jersey, Jack and for the future

I'm in many many years there are more than one pinball manufacturer to write, but the competition is caused to go back and require some of the people they laid off, come up with new design, diarrhea and they are the there's a pinball, Santa Nascent Pinball Russia just beginning the, but that could happen well, pinball is definitely that sort of a n thing now, if you're supercool near have some money. Then you might have a thimble machine in your house. Like my brother? It is apparently, stearns ratio of homes, sales to commercials assails has risen from thirty five percent to sixty percent of their total sales, so the market now isn't for arcades, because what are those the market is for

the person who has enough money to buy pinball machine yeah. I want you and you don't have to go yet. If you want a new one, it's gonna cost you better. If you want like a vintage one, it's I mean it's fifteen hundred I mean that decent amount of money he had the high like that I am fairly ones less than five thousand when the need in the house here. So I think my brother actually refurbished is, I think I think, I'm right. I think they weren't even this working and he was able to fix them very media guy. Imagine you can go for way less, because these are like fully refurbished. Blake polished, ready to go one year and a lot of homework starting to come from overseas, because the demand in vintage collectors items are like is rising so much like seventy percent of income from overseas their reporting back to America. While in its dig in Europe it is, I mean, as evidence from that thought then too, with

Furthermore, european Swedes Swedes look at em, so I will get into helping by actually works. Rapid, pillows, Duffy No listeners. Do you want a new year's resolution? That's easy to keep yes resolve to help pretty to your identity and personal info with lifelike identity theft, protection, lifelong alert, you to potential threats to or identity, and they see more than what you can see by just monitoring your own credit like your info on the dark web and that's a big deal yeah, and if you the problem. Lifelike? U S based restoration specialists, no, the steps it take to help resolve your case. After all,

one in five identity theft, victims who had accounts open in their names discovered their theft through bank or credit card company. And, of course, no one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but lifelike is the new year's resolution does not only easy to keep it'll help. You protect what you ve worked so hard for get lifelike for up to twenty five percent off your first year, gonna lifelike, dot, com, slash stuff, that's lifelike, doc,

less stuff for up to twenty five percent off all right. So we talk a lot about the history of pinball, which is way more interesting. I thought it would be, but we haven't talked about the game because I assume everybody has played pinball, but if you haven't we're gonna break it down. Yet it's actually is pretty simple. If you really think about it, there's two real components to the game now arisen: seventy percent flippers in the ball you everything Else- is this kind of ornamentation or whatever, but the play pinball. You need flippers and, above all, because the point of timber is to score points using the ball, but bouncing off of obstacles and all its staff and to prevent the ball from going down the drain using the flippers trade. They got four percent of all the time you get your flippers, typically at the bottom of the play fields, which is what it's called directly above the dream

Both sides want again to see now have other flippers on the upper right and upper lesson. That also do fun. Things like put the ball, but you know a lot of times ones at the top of slip it into the very special chamber weakens court. Tons of points will get to the swearing in a minute basically want to propel the ball up with your little plunder and then, the bumpers and ramps- are there to score points and it makes a lot of noise. It's a lot of fun and that's been ball yeah That's it for me this article and has therefore its pointed out, like you know what you're talking about scoring, which will talk about later, that's like doesn't mean anything that people who are playing pinball most of us, because I'm just trying to keep the ball from going down the drain. Sure

but the way that involves arranges you get better better at it. You were in that there are all sorts of combinations and tricks and stuff that you can do to really score some points for get to that later on. I get ahead of myself at the ball itself. If you wanted to start hardware, one in one, sixteenth, inches in diameter, steel in ways about two point: eight ounces and can reach speeds up the ninety miles an hour when you see that thing shoot out of it, the lower chambers that all come back at you don't really fast nervous, and that is sometimes it will use magnets underneath the table to because since it is still ball you'll, sometimes he again has like her like a spinning disk like a vortex in the center of the table. That will start at any given moment and it can catch your ball and keep your ball there. By with its magnet to sort of spent

place, which is no good or it could be super good depending on what you're, after sometimes they do use ceramic than while the power ball and it is lighter and faster and immune to magnet. So a lot of times now have multiple going on some of the other balls or ceramic. Yet that's an exact Correia. So, as the balls going around the table it sitting, the bumper is attending the targets and they're sending messages to the well. If its post. Seventy six came to the Mother Board, that's keeping track of your score and all that is genuinely get the three balls. That's that's a game. Yes, but there are circumstances where you can get more, which will tell later so check. There is also another component. You don't have to have to play him ball, but all timber games have it. Now it's called the Black Box.

And if you look at a pinball table, you ve got the field right yet play field, which is the board that has all the bumpers and stuff and slippers and everything on it and then at right angles to that come out of it. You ve got was called the bat class and connecting the two is called the Black Box, and this is where all of your electronics and you're solid state stuff goes you're back glasses. Not only gonna. Have your scoreboard in your information like they'll, say things like aim for the aim for the canyon. You know, they'll give you Hansen in little tricks along the way. I look out for the t. Rex look over the direct, but it's all to the back glasses, where look if you're walking through your Arcadians nineteen, eighty three, that's where you're gonna see that's where your attention is gonna go. So that's really see the playboy models on both sides. If you have no or kiss and looking cool, so it's it's sort of an advertisement. Hey come put your quarters enemy right

shiny, its colorful. They spend money. Designing those things in a lot of those have become art. Now, though, remove them in a frame them and hang upon the wall, which would be wicked cool, I think it would be better. I'd rather have the actual pinball game Yasser. So, like I said back in the seventies, they the introduce solids Electronics prior there I'll pay more machines were electromechanical in first knows researching this without like well, ok, so solid state took over everything. This is the case so estate took over. Basically,

back class. Everything else is ill. Electromechanical was up until the very very very recent times, although they still might be electromechanical. So when you hit a bumper with your ball and it makes a latent bouncing vibrate yeah and you get some points, that's because you sit in electrical impulse using electromechanical assembly to the Mother Board, the solid state motherboard, that's keeping score, so the motherboard is now keeping score it's now they can use digital sounds like speakers to the back lasting officer, but the actual functioning of the the pinball machine, while you're playing is still electromechanical results.

Yeah there's about a half a mile of wiring in each one, and if you come over my brothers, he will show you the guts Disney. He has his regular. You can pull down the back back glass. Looking at her, you are basically in the six like a huge mass of wires and half a mile of wire say what regressing does you were like a chain while it when you were found in his promise. I don't know, maybe so that the place yourself with but everything is honest tilted about sixty seven degrees toward you and it made of wood and its also very old school in us. At some point, someone makes us like a wood based like corn hall, and it's got holes drilled in it and get stuff painted on it and a bunch of layers of finnish to keep it to protect it and to make their I'll go.

Yeah, but I mean us. Basically, it is pretty simple. Yes, some of them very newer one. Some, I guess from the twenty first century, replaced the wood playing field with plasma screens. There really were Elsie De Screens yeah.

Yeah thanks, but other than that? It's like screws and glue, and would it's just its fairly old school and and still la like entertaining pimples challenging? That's why you hate pinball two thousand. Her is new fangled yeah, totally like hey. Let's take something awesome and make new for everybody laughed. I hate that you know like taken some classic drink. Like your cocktail. Guy you're saying: oh, it's had died. You know said some some new oxygenated somethin to the Manhattan. You like now amendments perfect walks into new at his hey area. Some things are perfect. The way they are anything pinball, one of em so check. You approached the pinball machine, you pretty headquarters in everything and you

either the to press the start button or what would you press the start by Nepal should fall into the launch lane, which is the at the back of the likely as the plunder. Yes in some of the newer games is a solid annoyed with sheets it for you, yeah was another thing, but a girl like a gun, handle trigger and done. I heard of the plunder very clever, but again if they like the hunter shooter. One way or another you're going to launch the ball. The advantage of the soul annoyed that lines it forward with the press of a button. Is there if you are playing a game in your pretty good? Yes and demolishing designs. It wants to see what kind of a wizard you are sure it will say more balls in the action. The way it does that these days is by using a sullen idea in olden days before the summer. I see the eighties arms a little man and so had well you to pull the plug your back yourself.

In their main you had to take a finger off of a flipper button. Hey man, you better be quick. I forgot about that, but you're dead there. That's why so annoyed city advantage? They have yeah I'll. Take that advancement that passes my bar, ok, the sole annoyed is good, so it took about actual pinball play after this message shock, New year's resolutions are very, very difficult to keep git, or exercise save more money will have on this. We have a resolution that you can really work with stop wasting time going to the post office that right, you stamps dot com instead because they bring all the services of the.

Again, ok scoring pinball, like you said earlier, if you're a regular schmo like us, we're trying to keep that ball on the table. If you are a pinball wizard than that

As you know, the game within the game and the combination, shots that you're specifically trying to hit in order to rack up the big big big points. This is nuts to me. I have to say I didn't even know that this existed until relatively,

yeah. I knew I guess you know like this abhor my pen ballplayers, none were among any good either, but you? U of! Where is your brother good? So you ve seen him his dear. He spoke to me so they they use this in this article. These the example of a game called high roller Timor. Yet and basically imagine us, while you're playing high roller, you basically want to knock out some icons, Fetter associate with poker. Yet once you ve hit all icons with the ball or something like that, through the tiles at you knocked down or whatever once you ve hit em all you ve been locked again within a game here and I think it starts with poker and all the son you're playing pinball, while you also playing poker on the back class. Yes, like you're, trying to hit a specific thing that will give you a specific card and a poker hamlet, say right,

and, like you have to be. You know you have you're trying to do this with your flippers games, skill if we set right, but at the same time you still playing your pinball game to right. Well, I mean it's part of the game. So, like you know, you'll now you ve got the cards upon the bat glass rail say I gotta hit that bumper yeah to get a king got some even for the king, the whole time. Ok, so if your brain hasn't melted yet prepare for the Finnish once pokers dine, there's like four five other casino games that you play after that and you lay them in succession and an as you win them, you're closer and closer to this special play mode, call, casino friends. That's what it's called in the high roller machine get us after one, all the game, the poker game right there not be yes, all the game, the area and so you're playing

in a frenzy and that's what I call the wizard reward where it's like. Ok, this kid's good yeah, now we're gonna, really let him or her shut up their points by playing a special round and all of a sudden. The field is like flooded with balls in every bumper. You his worth like hundreds of thousands of points in its scaring terrify the multi boss, is stressful yeah. For a guy. Like me thing here, man I just try and keep you know what happens in the multi balls. I usually lose them all pretty quickly. Like I came in hold onto the wine. Is it is it stimulates me too much, unlike what would happen

and the two, and, unlike his eyes, I've got one I am break even but with them with the wizard reward functions. That's when you, Sir, to earn even more points but imagine having like three four five balls on the field and the computer in the machine is telling you like this combination and will give you like twenty million points here and em. If you even in Wizard award ball you're a pretty good pinball player, I would imagine for sure- and that's just the high roller game, but must games, have a couple: a games within the game. The each should look out or an that's how you get your free game if you ve ever locked up or been super good and gotten, the other tell you on the vat glass. How much yet have like replay value thirty million? and that's what you shoot and four, because you want to get that free game, not just because it's a quarter whatever right, but because it's like,

The word you know it's like entering your name on the em in the top ten and Gallagher right. So I didn't understand this. When you get a free game like the three free balls are one extra all. I think it's three. I think it's a full free game, though it makes sense Why they cannot keeps telling it doesn't like reset right yeah! You can also fell backwards into a free game with something called match where I had never heard of this we once while the computer will just flashed like a random number between what z zero and ninety. I think yeah, multiple attend and arm. If these last two digital, your score at that moment happened a match that number than you wanna free game. It's like a little Lotto game, and I think I've gotten a free game that way, because I remember getting free games before but be like. How did I get a free- and I must have one of us is that the match you like this turn into Christopher? I saw that not long ago- that holds out the other, but it was hard.

Play goes, it says it most. Machines are set, so you have to be in the top ten percent to get a reply, and you can get a second replay, but Have it max out at a hundred and fifty percent of the first. So a double replay is tough in your Tommy. At that point, or your last name is sharp yeah. I guess I M until Chuck, you know tilt yeah, it's none of us with pinball till is where you are being well. Basically, where you ve been pursuing machine, the machines has enough yet hands off man and basically, like we're saying early machines. The only way you can manipulate and before the flippers was to move the machine negative bump it. So the tilt mechanism has been in place to prevent people from overly cheating meat by tilting the machine by it really old, timer contraption. I guess it's still in use half it's pretty funny how old school it is. Basically they have like. I guess I get

for copper wire with a circle on the end, a ring on the issue in depth, in the ring, but not touching, it is like a metal ballast yeah right and it's connected to the machine. So as long as the bad, this is just swinging around freely within the ring. You can tell us as much as you, like, yeah seal player, knows how to tilt without getting caught right. It's part of the game here, but once you killed too far and the metal bows touches, the copper ring a current is formed here and all of a sudden it sends that's the mother born and the mole versus tilt. This. Your first warning and apparently most modern games, give you two warnings and then the footprint sub working in you lose your ball yeah and that's just losing one. If you really get upset, if your ball stock or if you're just having a bad day at the office- and he pick up the front of the machine- and down, that's called slam filled and levies

leaf switches inside the machine for that and if they touch each other. That means you have really taken things too far and that is shut it down no game yeah, not we're taking your ball, their seen, leave the machine. You're, not gonna, win any cigarettes through and that exactly and that's the year MRS Lampert its pinball baby, you're gonna, find out. I don't either. This is very exciting, I'm glad we filing did it. It's been on my list for ever ever wrote. I found it was illegal if I get your like. Oh I gotta get in there, but that was like a couple years ago I feel like while yet when I saw special inlet, nice and everybody go see, that is that on the old Netflix, I believe it is still definitely as nine.
