## Analysis

IE Pinball streamer Mike Ston plays World Poker Tour, attempting the wizard mode (World Poker Championships) while dealing with technical issues including internet connectivity problems, audio level adjustments, and mechanical failures (drop target banks). The gameplay focuses on qualifying different modes and hands through poker-themed objectives, with commentary on game difficulty, design philosophy, and streaming challenges.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] World Poker Tour has a wizard mode (World Poker Championships) that requires qualifying six different modes with 25 million points each before facing a final championship, and failure to beat the championship resets all progress — _Mike Ston explaining the wizard mode requirements during gameplay: 'There's six different qualifications where you have to get 25 million points in each of them. And then you also have to get to the World Poker Championships and beat it. If you don't beat it, you got to go through all the cities again to get there again.'_
- [HIGH] The drop target banks on this machine have been failing repeatedly, with Mike Ston mentioning he had to crank up 'both of the four bangs' and fix them the day before, then had the right drop target bank fail again during gameplay — _Mike Ston: 'So yesterday I had more of the drop target legends break. So, I just cranked up both of the four bangs and fixed that up' and later 'my right right drop target bank has already decided to uh stop functioning completely.'_
- [HIGH] World Poker Tour has music composed by Chris Granner — _Mike Ston: 'The music is kind of fun on this game. Oh, yeah. They've done a good job with the music. I think it's Chris Granner.'_
- [HIGH] The game features multiple cities with progressively harder hands requirements (starting at 2, then 3, 4, 5, and going up to 6, 7, 8 hands if the championship is failed and replayed) — _Mike Ston: 'I want to say this, but uh two, three, four, five hands through this and then it goes six hands and seven hands. So if you beat if you get the world poker championship and you don't beat it, then it goes three four five six seven eights um on the number of hands you need on each city, which is absurd.'_
- [HIGH] Mike Ston's internet connection is unstable, fluctuating between 4,000 and 7,000 kilobits per second upload speed, and he is considering switching from Spectrum to AT&T despite previous negative experiences with AT&T — _Mike Ston: 'I wish I didn't have to listen to the stream audio because it gets super delayed. Yeah, because my internet is so bad that I have to have these. Yeah, right now it's like 4,000 kilobits a second and it keeps jumping between that and 7,000.' Later: 'I can't wait till I'm somewhere with fiber internet. It's like one of my number one priorities when I when we buy a new house.'_
- [HIGH] The upper playfield of World Poker Tour is not visible on Mike Ston's camera setup — _Mike Ston: 'I realized the upper playfield isn't even viewable on the camera. And now I'm realizing that uh lower playful told me that earlier on and I didn't pay attention.'_

Is Carl going to be on the previous question mark? I should I'm trying. I'm I'm I should be. I should be. Yes, the plan is to be but with me I think I may have to cancel the last minute thing. So, but the plan is yes. So, when I asked my son if he wants to go and he uh he said I'll think about it. So, I'm waiting for him to decide and he's going to have to decide pretty soon because I can't wait. I need that jackpot there. Is that triple? I got a triple. Triple jackpot replay. And this tickets will be in August. But the uh if you make sure if you want a room at the at the facility that you're in the discord cuz if you're not in the disc, the discord is when we'll put the booking link out. Um so make sure you're in the indis discord for that cuz that's what everyone wants. I think it's a room at the hot springs. No. Stop. Balls. Oh, not that way. Tom, thanks for the sub. Why aren't you're packing up? Why aren't you h Thank Jackpot is lit. Triple jack. No, don't don't. You suck. Triple jackpot. That might Look at that. That might push me over. Maybe. Yes. I should be done with no limit hope. Okay, no limit multi. Welcome to the WPT poker corner. All you need to win is a chip and a chair. In the car heading home. Oh, t. All right, one thing. This is still ball one after two extra balls, but I still have a lot of hands to go through. I you know that that's just one tiny celebration that thing. Here's the flop. Two queen. Player one flop middle pair. No, you didn't. No. Don't Don't Don't do that. Did that count? No. I'm in chip trick. I need to hit these things. That was my extra ball opportunity to hide the boss. Out of control. My Yes. Out of control. Yes. Smoke tilt. Thank you for the price. How much have I removed this game? And I need to Jeez, I realized the upper playfield isn't even viewable on the camera. And now I'm realizing that uh lower playful told me that earlier on and I didn't pay attention. There we go. Is it even worth giving a quick explanation of what I need to do? I've covered it in previous streams, but I can. We'll go through it right here. So, I need There's six different qualifications where you have to get 25 million points in each of them. And then you also have to get to the World Poker Championships and beat it. If you don't beat it, you got to go through all the cities again to get there again. And that's one of the things I hate about this game. So, ace in the hole, you need 25 million. I only need 4.65. No limit multiball. I have qualified it. That one is done. Uh the pot, that's the uh points you get for hold them hands as you finish targets. That's the targets, all that. the the poker hands multiball. Hurry-ups are the hurry-ups in the upper playfield. I need a lot on that. And then modes is just mode points. And then this bastard of a thing. I'll say it. There's the turn. It's an awful awful requirement. It it is it is soul crushing when you get there and you um don't beat it cuz then everything you've done in the game is worthless cuz the odds of you actually getting through all these cities again is is so low. Here comes the river 10 million points in that mode and the points are queens. They are starts with ace deuce offuit. Two more hits. One more hit. Get going. Uh, I I don't want to go for that yet. I really don't. I do, but I don't. Maybe I should have. Sweet trick. Here comes the flop. King, queen. Don't go up. Player one flop. Bottom pair. Get up there. Go. Here's the turn. Jack of hearts. Player one has a straight draw. All right, another ace in the hole. And player one has an ace in the hole. All right, this will advance to my holding hand. I'll get the value. Three of diamonds. Oh, pair of two. Sorry, I just But still pairs are nothing on lovely Los Angeles, California. So, I'm on the fourth city now. Got 10 nine of hearts. And that's going to be one additional hand from what the other cities are. They always go up by one. It's I I want to say this, but uh two, three, four, five hands through this and then it goes six hands and seven hands. So if you beat if you get the world poker championship and you don't beat it, then it goes three four five six seven eights um on the number of hands you need on each city, which is absurd. One more hit. Damn it. But I am happy that I no longer have to worry about hitting that uh that target, that lock target, cuz I finished that goal. And that was close. That was a little dangerous. Um, might as well get my mode going. It's lit. Welcome to the WPT Poker Corner. Winning the big pots isn't everything. You also have to steal the blinds. That's better. When is in this indis dates will be announced um on is it Monday or Tuesday? It's uh it'll be in our discord. The first announcement, uh, I can't say what the dates are because we don't want people booking the hotel and filling up the rooms before the multiple sales go on. That's funny. Um, until the official room's open. Jackpot. Now, I would like to do a hurry, too. Get it back in the hole. Jackpot. Carl's going to finish the second half of this a little bit tonight, but I started watching it. Time's almost up. A what? And here's the river king of diamonds. One finishes with a pair of kings. Northern kingdom. Player one with blackjack. It's about the Disney Urban Explorers. I I I I remember it. and the whole um Oh my, he's been put on the clock. Nice trick. Oh boy. Okay, this should be the wizard mode. Monday at 10 a.m. Thanks, Matt. Cuz I can't remember. Goran too quiet. Yeah, Goran's probably too quiet. I saw something in the documentary that looked a little uh familiar, like one of your things or What do you mean by familiar? Side pot. No comment. Did you steal the animatronic is it is is in the Buzzy. No, I didn't do anything. This goes back to the '9s with Verizon. Sidepod passes 250,000. Oh, that brought two drops till I drop turning up my volume. I don't know if this helps. Gordon, yell. I can't I can't turn Gordon up anymore. He is maxed on my mixer here. So, oh, that's that's game audio. It's okay. He is maxed. I don't matter. Gord's here for fun. Game music is loud then. I mean, I can turn the game down. There, game's down now. It's going to be fun when this is actually the uh the good one. How about this funny going on? Uh, and hi, Pimples. I've caused so much chaos. He's really steaming now, man. Ah, that was a important. Well, no, it's not really. It's the modes. I'm mixing my stuff up now. Got things straight. Okay. Um, looks like the king of hearts is all I need for my four of a kind, which will actually start a multiball. Maybe I'll just do that right now. All right. Poker hands multiball. This is actually important to do well in because it's a lot of points that I need for fun for the drop card and stuff. So I used a triple there side. You know, the only thing I don't like about going to this SM7B is I feel like there's so much more coil noise in the in the game than what used to be when I had the um the mic that just uh went over, you know, my my individual mic. The game is even louder. Well, shoot. That's fine. I can't do anything. Victory Lab. I want victory lab. I want points. Lab points or pity points. Oh. Oh my gosh. My fault. I swear. How did I survive that? How did I get a ball or whatever? Okay, I turned it down a bit there. That hurry up. Give me the hurry up. Hurry up. back. I hit a spinner or something. Give me that multiball in the green or something. I'm very curious what happened there. I'm not going to argue. I I've got, you know, I'm back and play here. But almost out of time. Jackpot. There. Turned it down even more. How's that? Is that any better? I am turning down the right thing. I am turning down the direct capture. Gorgeous. Quiet. Nothing changed. That's actually really funny. Get going. I think it sounds fine. Two more hits. Jackpot. A little better. Time's almost up. Yeah, now most of the game audio is coming through my my head or through the uh through the microphone. I might go back to that headset mic instead of the SM7 One more hit. Is this snowball one? Um, yes. Jackpot. The game must be heard. Yeah. in the hole. I like to think that me being here is like a good luck charm. Yes. Get going. How many? Six. I need 10 for the extra ball up there. I know. Jackpot. Side pot. Almost to the elusive uh or halfway to the elusive uh 60. Two more hits. One more hit. One more. You said two. Oh my. He's been put on the clock. Jordan, I'm tuned in with Carl. Uh please. That's the only way I can hear him. Jackpot. Byebye. The delay is terrible. Yes. Look at that. no. That's a bad shot. Very bad shot. There's some ducking on this or something. I can hear the the game audio going in and out now because you're not getting the direct audio. And I can turn my mic up. It's going to cause more problems, too. Oh, that's just going to be what it is. It's just world puppeteer. Who cares about world poker? Royal flush. That was a quick royal flush. All right. That's right. Get in there. straight. I mean, I would argue that. Welcome to the WPT poker corner. Music is mad, but it's overpowering me. But God, all right, we f I fiddled with some as Yeah, the music is loud. I'm enjoying it. It's funny. In my head, it's not. I hear I hear you so well. No, if the mix is kind of a mess right now, it must be in the whole multiball. Good, good, good. Back to that hole would sure come in handy, B. That's good points for this mode, especially double value. This is put on the clock. Put on the clock. Triple side. Any space gives you a plus. See, all I hear is coil noise here. Lock is lift. I can't give you two jackpot. Jackpot jackpot. Whatever. Oh dear. Three. No. Okay, I'll have the mode scores done. Get it back in the hole. Maybe even a in the hole after this. Surprise me. Oh, I jackpot. I'm trying. Believe me. Queen of spades. Straight. I'm ready to be done with this thing. jackpot. Paddle paddle is coming up. It's um get going. Jim had dates and I can't remember them off the top of my head, but they are uh it is uh on the calendar. Not not not announced yet, but it's uh it's coming. Yeah, Jordan said on Discord that no matter what change you made, it it never showed up on side. Oh, well, you get lots of little poker music by Chris Gram. But, thank you for the sub. You subscribe to Gordon's Twitch. Uh, Gordon, start streaming on Twitch again. do your once annual uh annual stream passes. I stream once every year and a half a year and a half now. Side pot. All right. Well, the last time I streamed is when Wonka tried to kill me, so I'm a little scared again. Cyclot. Cypoton. Am I going to Expo? I should. Well, Expo's a long way away. I can't tell you right now if I am or not. I should be, but I can't say. I don't know for certain. Um, I should take a look at my Let's see where we are. The only problem with that all in multiball is it kills my um I can't advance hands during it. Qualified. Uh, pretty close. Not close. Are you winning yet? Qualified. All right. So, so I'm I'm Okay. Am I winning? It's it's it's it's looking decent. Um it's looking decent. Hey, I sheep. I have the granola bar. you know isn't everything. You also have to those are my my staple All right. So, my computer crashed. so what I tried to do was uh get the ball under control and um I pulled it out. I pulled the glass out while the computer was rebooting and then the game decided to in my ball while I was holding the fourth ball. So now I have two balls in the shooter lane. I know what this is going to mean. This is going to mean I'm going to have a uh It's going to be problems. So, I'm going to drain both of these balls real quick right now and hope that it uh Yeah, I may just take a ball out. So, I'll only have three balls. I'm going to drain both of these and see what happens just to see if the game can recover. Okay. It didn't it didn't shoot too hard again. So maybe I'm good. But unfortunately I lost the ball there. So I'm down to ball. I'm down to ball. Unfortunately this just cursed game. Sorry the prime. Game is cursed. All right, away we go. Sorry, Gordon. It was fun. Here's the clock. Queen, two, 10. Okay, what am I doing? I want to get by back into a hole so I have a safety net while I do things. Two more hits. That's what I want to do. Tell you the the bonfire is going to get this game. That's what's going to happen. I don't even have a bonfire pit or anything like that. So, a king makes a full house. Nice trick. Burned in the backyard. Oh, that's really not good. Has a double belly buster straight draw. Mad mad. Here comes the river. Six of hearts. Finishes with a pair of sixes. Player one has nine deuce offuit. No, that's not good. That's really a bad sling. Okay, here comes the flop. Jack, three, 10. Look at that. Here comes the turn. Queen of clubs. All right, another city down. I think Las Vegas is out again. I forgot about that. ends up. So, I don't know if I played Las Vegas or not. I may only have one city left to go. On to beautiful Nassau in the Bahamas. Player one holds eight six of clubs. Want to get back up top. I want to get back in the ace of the hole. Put safety net. Here's the flop. King 86. Oh my. He's been put on the clock. Hurry. Would be great to get two though, but I think ace in the hole is more important cuz I can always get hurry up to other spots. Time's almost up. Right now. I know has an ace in the hole. Here's the turn. Nine of hearts. Is everything looking all right now? I mean, sounds still loud. Move it, I assume. But our game's still loud, but three more hits. One more hit. As long as the stream's coming through. Okay, that's all that matters right now. I think the hard way. Drain these. Draining them. Drain. Go away. Yeah, the frame the, you know, I I I think I'm going to have to double spectrum and go to AT&T as much as I don't want to, but uh it's just it's too unstable. But it's going to be a pain to do. AT&T was awful when I had it before, so almost out of time. I don't really look forward to it. player one looks at I'm really tired of the uh everything. Oh, I've got to uh take away Gordon's topper there. That hole would come in handy, Vince. What is that? Oh, that's the stream. It's streamion. Well, that's an interesting thing. Oh, my mouse is over there. Never mind. I can't do it right now. Hurry up. I want hurry up. Jackpot. There's a hurry up. Okay. What hurry up numbers? 10 extra ball is left. Good. That'll make up for that extra the balling dream. But that's still not enough points for the hurry up. I'm sure of that. Oh my. Tripler. I didn't want the tripler. Get it back in the hole. Jackpot. I can't wait till I'm somewhere with fiber internet. It's like one of my number one priorities when I when we buy a new house. Make sure it has fibers. Jackpot. An ace in that hole would sure come in handy. Get some hurry up here. Player one begins with pocket rockets. An attack. A spectrum. I get a I get a good 500 megabits down. It's the upload is just it it's it's just un inconsistent. It's I showed the tech when it was out here, but it was fine. Get going. Jackpot. And they're here. That's all that matters, I guess. Almost out of time. Yeah, I know. Because it's drained already. That's probably dumb to do. Full house. Stop. Way to go. Stop. What's up? I normally get to 20 megabits. It should be plenty for this, but it's not consistent for this kind of stuff. Jackpot. All right. How many more hands do I need to win this main pot? One. How many more hands? Two opponents. This is running close. Jackpot. Get going. All right. Hurry up. I need to hurry up. The jackpot. I want the hurry up. Not flailing around. I want to hurry up. Well, now it doesn't matter. Hurry up's not going to be worth anything. It's been too long. Almost out of time. Yep. Doesn't matter. Oh, that was bad. Shouldn't have I shouldn't have jailbreak that. I shouldn't have uh lost my cradle there. Yeah, my I This used to be solid, you know. I had no problem streaming for years and then they did uh maintenance one day. Our network breaks down. It was plan maintenance and then once it came back up it was this junk Get going. All right. Hurry up. Hurry. Hurry, Jackie. Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. What was that? 1.1. Yeah, that's the problem. These values are so low. They don't have a filter on my No, they don't. And they went through and changed all the uh couplers. Thought that would fix it. And it it actually made our line a little more stable, but it hasn't helped with this kind of stuff. Get it back in the hole. Back in the hole. Yes, please. An ace in that hole would sure come in handy, Vince. Oh, that was bad. All right, there's the extra and something else. Extra ball. Jackpot. What? Oh, I started um really I started um multiple people. I didn't realize I'm Well, that kind of sucks cuz I don't need to know that multiball right now. I would have rather kept going for hands. Side pot. Well, I can work towards side pots for the that extra ball. I guess Get jackpot. Jackpot. Just got 7.2 million to hurry up. Sorry. I wasn't even paying attention. An ace in that hole would sure come in handy, Vince. Probably check the um check at the requirements, see where I am on things. Uh that ball's coming out though. Let's see. Where are we here? Qualify. Qualified. No, don't do that. Mom targets need more hurry-ups. Hurts are close. Okay. Oh, darn. All right, let's get those hurry ups done if I can. Oh my, he's been put on the clock. All right, so that's going to be 2 mil or something. So, probably one more hurry up. We'll get we'll finish that off. Yanni. This is not the run until I beat the World Coke Championships. That's That's the uh That's the killer. I I count nothing until I beat that. side pot. Especially as I heat up the flippers here as I hold them up so much. Even though they have fans on them. Triple jackpot is lit. Triple jackpot. Thanks. Accidental triple lighting. It's funny. Get it back in the hole. Jackpot. No, I didn't want it in the hole cuz now that ball's not coming out. I mean, I can get the super, but I don't need the super. Got that qualified already. So, need to hurry up. That's what I need. Get that. Hurry up. All right, we're done with that. So, at this point, um I guess I try for side pots to get to 60 if I need the uh that extra ball, which perfectly possible. How do I get side pots? I just loop around loop orbit, right? No, it just I'm not fulltime at bof. No, uh I'm still in SoCal, so it'll be a little bit before that happens. Um, just haven't haven't had time. My internet sucks. It's barely holding on right now. Uh, let's see. I need poker hands. So, I need to play a mode. I need to play a mode so that I can uh get back in the ace in the hole and use that as a safety net for the job targets. I don't want to shoot those. And here's Courtney with a WPT poker corner. Know your opponent's better. Watch closely. I need to finish tell you what they're holding. Don't Don't That's an awful awful Okay. Yeah. I see you trying to I know where the tell is. I don't care. Here's the flop. Ace 97. Player one is looking at a flesh draw. I need to get that shot down for championships. All right, that's all right. Still got two balls left. Here's the turn. T of spades. All righty. Ace in the hole is play here. One more hit. Um, and player one has an ace in the hole. Well, I'm going to see if this gets me to the PT championships or not. Right now, I'm going to take this out. I mean, this is a big score regardless compared to the other games I've played on it. All right. Was this the last one? I think it is. And here's the river. Seven of clubs. Finishes with a pair of sevens. All right. This is the rotten one. And this this ball this this mode does continue even in single ball, but it's all deterministic. It's all determined based on those poker hands you get luck. It's I probably actually don't want to go for that yet because it's going to be my addal. Damn it. He's really steaming now, man. Yeah, I am steaming. Now I want it. All right. If I can get that pattern going, it's good. I am Am I going to get my out of ball Where's my outall? Huh? Add them on. There it is. Oh, this is more nerve-wracking than anything. And the drops don't really I mean it says drops increase hand but it doesn't seem to really do anything. Not enough to make a difference. Keep going. Don't care. What's that? That is a pair. Yay. Why can't you see anything? What do you mean you can't see anything? Did I die? No, it looks like it's still up and running. Okay. Even if it isn't, I'm recording. So, all right. Good, good, good. What's my flop? Nothing. 10 ace 278. I mean, give me something. Not even a pair. Not a strip. I I I can get a pair. That's the best I can do, right? Diamond. Heart. Yeah. Okay. Divided by two because I was high card. Just I'm going to complain about this forever, you know. Oh my. He's been put on the clock. Something that's so necessary to get to the end of this game. Yes. Way too random. Oh my. He's been put. Do I have anything? I have a straight possibility if I can get a four. Can he give me a four? A double. Hurry up. That doesn't matter. Okay, there's the mystery. Time's almost up. Give me a four. A four. No, you give me a pair at least. So, I got 362,000. Yay. Oh my. He's been put on the clock. I got a pair. That's fine. This ball wanted to play just 500,000. No. Okay. Down to one. Come on. Give me a nine. Give me two pair at least. Give me something decent, would you? I've got a pair of aces. Oh crap. That was that was awful. Awful shot. Oh no. So when the nerves start kicking in here, right? The single ball. The last chance. Get up there. Oh no. Uh, no, no, no, no. Okay. All right. Come on. Give me a good hit. River. Three aces. Still not enough. I have to be playing this wrong. There must be a better way to play this, right? I've said that before. I know. But what do I have? I've got I've got a straight draw if I get a jack. Otherwise, doing another hand. I have to assume that Keith wanted you to go in here with triplers and triple your value. But almost out of time. I've got a pair of eights. Okay, at least I won't get divided. not playing spinners add the value. That makes sense now. Thank you. So really the idea is focus on the spinners at the beginning then What? I have like 500,000 left. 400. That's still three full shots. I can't do it in one. This is only 100,000 for three. Get going. But you think all these other points I get should also count towards this, right? At least I do. All right, one more shot. Almost out of time. 82,000. Kind of ridiculous. Oh, thank goodness. All right, here's the flop. 82 10 player one flop bottom. I just want to get control here to try and uh see what I've got left here. I know I don't have left actually. It's cards. This might be it. This finally might be the game. Got to play Winchester in Australia. Nice. Only one game, but thank you. Thank you, Wireful. So, I need 4 million in targets. I want to get the ace in the hole and use that to play targets. There's the turn. Five of spades. That's fine. Three more hits. Two more hits. One more hit. In the whole multiball. All right, targets. Let's get some poker hands. Three of a kind. Perfect. Oh, if I had the tripler during that, that would have been during the poker hand. That would have gotten me a kind time's almost up. Oh, main pot one off suit. What? I need to get the 10 and the king of clubs. All right. What do I need? Four of a kind. So, it's just the king. The two lights are going off for some reason. I got to drain. Well, no. I could try and lock this ball actually. Jackpot. Oh, I didn't get the king. That's an add ball. That's fine. An ace in that hole would sure come in handy, Vince. I'm going to relight my uh mystery if I can. That should be a decent jackpot there. A triple. Let's do it. Okay. Was that enough to qualify that? Let's see. I'm just going to pause right here. We're going to see if poker hand multiple actually counts for stuff. If so, it's qualified. Holy crap. It's qualified. Um, do I need to cut the cards lit for it or not? That's the shot that starts it. So, I can't remember if not. So, I'm just going to play it safe and uh get the cut the cards lit cuz I don't know if that's required or not. I think it might be if I remember from the years ago that I did it. I know that's a shot. Hey, multiply. Yes, I need to cut the cards late. Yes, exactly. I remember flailing around and not being able to start it and going, "What the hell?" It's like it's a random award for starting it. I mean, you know, just on top of everything else in the game, right? So, I got to get back up top and light the mystery All right, I'm going to drain these two balls cuz I don't care about this. That ball's going to come out. I'm going to let this one drain. And then we're going to light the or shoot cut the cards, which is it. Yeah, it doesn't even light the ejected starter. Yeah. All right, here we go. I've gotten so much practice on that shot. I should be plenty good at this. Yeah, it's done. It's done. I don't even care about whatever this is. Pri start at 2 million. Drop targets to score too many. Okay. because I know this is just like a score based, you know, it wasn't until later on in pinball that we started getting like great final wizard modes like um escape nublar and stuff like that. This is just pure points point. Holy crap. Who wants to buy a world poker tour? Anybody? Cuz it is gone It's unfortunate that it died halfway through the stream, but uh but then I also lost the ball because of that. So, I'll have to cut it together. Blville, thanks for the sub. $20 at the Viking funeral front. I like that. In all seriousness, I think Shane wanted it for some reason. I don't know why I told him it cannot go to Aceogi. It It will die there. It will not last a day. These jackpots are big. Compared to everything else in the game, this is huge points. Well, and that makes sense. It's a final lo. Just keep hitting the ace in the hole. That seems to be the and a ball. Nice. Wait, I I had a ball save, but the ball save is didn't pick out a ball. I just assumed that was an add ball. Did I not Did that say add a ball on the screen? I'm just very curious. I didn't read it. Did I get robbed of an add ball? These jackpots are huge. I guess it caps out at 2.5 though, huh? Didn't it say cards equal down ball? That's right. It did. You are right. I could probably go for that. Why not? No, I can't. That's a death sentence, isn't it? I could have sworn that I saw the the ball save light. That's the only reason I'm saying it. I thought I was gonna get out of all from the mystery. Let's see if the targets do. Yes, they do. Yeah. No new music makes sense, though. It's It's barely anybody sees this. Why dedicate the resources at the time to this? Once challenge modes came about, then uh you know that changed the game for you know end wizard mode things I'd say. Like I can't wait for Eric to see what I've written for Winchester and go what side pot. if he didn't already read it. Wait, I get side pods during this. I can get an extra ball. I'm not going to play it in a given I get it though. side pot. I'm curious if these spinners are going to get lucky. This goes out. A raven is already at Jeff. It is in his storage. All right, that's the end of that. I think a sweet relief. It was on the DMD. Right. That's what I thought. Thank you. What's the mystery? Oh, increase it by 10,000 points. He's been put on the clock. We're just going to mess around now. I am not finishing off this game with any kind of seriousness. It is done. What are the hardest wizard modes? This is definitely one of them. This one I used to say Big Buck Hunter. Great game. Um, I'll actually put my initials in here cuz I haven't I don't normally put my initials in my game, but yeah, Big Buck Hunter 24 is up there. Uh, and Iron Man, I'd say Rolling Stones. If I can get Rolling Stones out here, sure. I'd be all for it. Thank you, Goran. This is all because of Goran. Everybody, thank Goran for joining the chat. You know, kept me relaxed the first bit. Just, you know, it'll be interesting to watch that back. All right, that's it. I guess I can take this in the garage. I can pull Spider-Man in here and maybe stream some Spider-Man or or move on to I want to get Kong back in here. It's in I haven't played Kong in ever in in forever. Best holding hand. What was it? A straight. Okay. power cycle. All right, all thank you. Hope you enjoyed that. Hope the the little glitches here and there weren't too much to uh weren't too inconveniencing. Otherwise, I will uh let me find someone to raid. Let's see who is still streaming. All right, I'm sending you over to Jeff the Dirty Pool. Um, if you if you go in Jeff's chat, can you please put in the chat all praise Bill? Not the Great Pyramid, but Bill. All praise Bill. All right. Take care everyone. See you next time.
