## Transcript

Chicago Gaming Company brought a number of its awesome new remake of Bally Cactus Canyon to the Texas Pinball Festival. One of the machines had the seldom seen fancy topper for the game hooked up. I saw the topper in person on the game that CGC brought to Pintastic New Robert Englunds, but this is the first time that I have seen it in action during gameplay. It’s pretty awesome.
