Great game man. I'm own this game and it is so good. There is a lot of strategy. Finally some one who does't say you have to take in change gears in no limits multiball. You should take in know your outs because during the no limits it resets the droptargets when you hit a jackpot, normally you would have to hit all the droptargets to get them to reset in the mode. This way you can get a lot of drops (which you have to make to light the jackpot anyway). I've had up to 50 million for this mode in a good no limits mulitball. Also, in no limits multiball you have to hit down a droptarget bank to light the jackpot. The middle one lights 1x the right 2x and the left lights 3x jackpot. If you then hit the jackpot with the inlane multiplier you can get to 9x jackpot. Only did this twice. When you play the modes for a second time and you won the trophy the first time, you mode is doubled. So a 50 million mode on the first time would be a 100 million mode on the second time. Best thing about ace in the hole multiball for me is that you can plant a ball in the ace lock, even if you lose all your ball's you will still have that ball up there to continue, it's nice to have a ball out of the way. When you get to super trick, for which you don't have to get combo's just hitting a shot after you rolled over the inlane switch, you have to hit all shots again within a certain amount of time to earn an extra ball. Also, in every multiball you have an add a ball in your cut the cards shot and for every mode extra time up to three times per mode. You light the cut the cards by hitting the upper left shot on the miniplayfield. Very important for multiballs and high scoring modes. The 3x inlanes are lit by hitting the droptargets and getting the hands. So if you have shot down the 1pair and 2 pair and not used your 3x you can triple a shot and later triple another shot. *Must do on the game* disable the upposts on the ramps on flop and turn, this gives the game much more flow. You can disable them all together. You can also decide to disable or enable them in multiball. I have them enabled in multiball to get a little bit more time. You can also remove the gate that blocks the way from the right orbit to the left orbit behind the left ramp. These are tips from Steve Ritchie himself.

Keith Johnsson now works at Jersey Jack! His ruleset on Wizard Of OZ is so deep ( and i understand that he learned from his work at Stern)!!

[@alaeriia01]

Fun fact: the Super Wizard Modes Keith Johnson is known for (Valinor, SDMEWM, Showdown) are called Keefer Invitationals after the one in this game.

[@JOKERider1995]

Nice vid 👌 i have this pinball machine in a few days im exated 🎉🤩

[@antonvlasjuk3079]

My friend owns this!! I like it a lot!!!

[@FloydMaxwell]

Very entertaining (as always). Who needs to max out all the features of the game when you get a replay in the first of your three ball ones, lol.

[@lefmankan]

Wow this was hard to follow so I didn't remember much but *SIDEPOT*

Nice Machine - I like this extra display on the playfield. But I just find out that I play "Poker" wrong all my live :) - I thought, you got 5 Cards in Hand, change what you don't like, and then get your final "Hand" - This Pinball Machine seems to show another kind of "Poker"....

[@Rah1Xephon]

You know 5 card draw poker, here they are playing texas holdem. Different variants.

[@MarbRedFred]

So I have this machine and was wondering what settings you’re running for these high scores?? Because the average run here is around 15 million

[@GameplayandTalk]

Ooooh, nice Change Gears in the beginning.

[@Micky.Michael.88]

I want someone to make a much more modern version of the High Roller table ! THe concept of a casino table is amazing ! But the high roller sounds like a low-bit 70s mess with those sounds !! Also... could someone tell me the best coyboy / western pinball table please?

[@PMuis]

How about pistol poker? I own it, it's a alvin G game. Not as good as Cactus canyon but a hell of a lot cheaper. And it's a western and poker combined :P

[@PinballHelp]

I would hesitate to call this a "tutorial" as much as it's a "strategy" on how to basically start a single lucrative mode. This game has so many things going on that aren't elaborated on that the video, leaving someone who wants to really appreciate the depth of the ruleset and how it's put together, somewhat wanting. I hope to have a more detailed and easy to follow overview on my channel in the future.

[@bitchinpinball]

Great gameplay and strategy information as always. Pretty obvious that Bowen doesn't have a whole lot of enthusiasm for WPT though which is unfortunate as it is underrated.

[@stackthatartpaper]

You know it’s a Steve Ritchie game when you don’t have time to explain it while you’re playing.

[@Nigaromia]

The rules in this game is crazy. For, I'm guessing, 2007. Just nuts. I actually played this game in the flesh. Got ace in the hole multiball. This is nuts though. Very complicated rules for the time though. Didn't really like the game though. LOL!

I always found Vince Van Patten to be annoying on this game lol
