## Transcript

Hello everybody, my name is Collier and we are here to show you some Yukon Yeti gameplay. So I know this is the first thing that everybody asks for when a game comes out and we just wanted to show that to you today. So I'll walk you through some of the parts of the game and some of the shots and hopefully you can just get an idea of the flow of the game, a little bit of the gameplay. So I just wanted to show you guys that. So anyway, let's start with some skill shots. All the blue shots here are skill shots so I can go for any of those if I want to. END OF THE VIDEO What item I want from the trading posts. And let's just take a free mystery chest. Thank you for the supplies. How kind. Alright, I'm going to just pick... Let's start at the beginning. Let's do supplies. I like this mode because all the shots, pretty much all the shots, start lit. So, you've got a lot to go for. All the yellow shots are good mode shots here. And at some point... That was probably a pretty cool ball. I don't know if you guys saw that. There's actually a ramp behind the pops that's gonna bring the ball back around to the side flipper. So you can either shoot it from the bottom left flipper through the pops here or sometimes the pops will even throw it up into the ramp for you. So that was awesome. I want to try to get my locks going here for avalanche multiball so I can hit the light lock targets on either side and that'll do that. I don want to forget about my mode though Those are good points Maybe I can there we go I can just bounce it into there So my lock is lit and if I want to now I can lock balls here in the stair mech. So that's one objective to go for. Now every time I lock a ball you'll see the ball climb the stairs here and get closer to the top. So, you'll get a decision. You can either start a three ball multiball as soon as you block three balls, or you can be greedy and try to get a four or even a five ball multiball, which is always my choice. Alright, so still going for some load shots here while we've got some time. Ah! Alright, not a bad first ball. END OF THE VIDEO The game is about collecting gold. Alright, let's get some skill shots. Now we're going to the upper play field. And you got a couple shots up there that I missed both of and if you missed you might get another chance So we did that on purpose We gave you guys a side flipper shot to get right back up to the upper playfield if you happen to miss your shot up there Alright, let's try to lock some more balls here. I would like to show you the avalanche multiball because it's a really awesome moment. There we go. Okay, so now I have a choice. And I choose Greed. I will lock my ball and try to lock another one. I probably want to get another mode started too, so let's focus on that. And my favorite mode with the multiball is Rapids. The shots for this one really coincide with the jackpots, so it's a great mode to play with multiball. Let's try to get a couple more locks here. And we'll get ready to rumble. And you'll see what I mean. So let's lock this fourth ball. And then we can try to start our avalanche multiball as the game rumbles. We do have a shaker motor installed on this game and it's awesome. It'll give you feedback when you hit mode shots, when you hit multiball shots. And it's really cool. It just helps you experience it more. So let's start multiball here. Ah, so close! It didn't want to go up the stairs. All right. There we go. Oh boy. The game is shaking. The balls are dropping. Okay. So, Avalanche Multiball. What are my objectives? I want to hit the jackpot here. I also want to focus END OF THE VIDEO Thank you for watching! The great way to do it. All right. So I've got six gold now. Could spend it if I want to, or I could hoard it. And just started a Yeti hurry up. This is going to be side flipper shot here. And I'm too late. Ah, that's okay. Oh, I'm not too late. I got it. So I get a chance with that trapdoor to go in and take more of the Yeti's gold. I will take that gold, thank you very much. Alright, and ah, and it's gone. Well, that was not a bad ball. I actually showed you guys a lot of what I wanted to in that one. So I think we'll leave it at that. Just wanted to get some gameplay out there, really. Wanted you guys to see some of the shot paths, some of the cool shots in the game. Thank you for watching and please order a Yukon Yeti.
