## Transcript

So I think I have to hit the drop targets first. Or no, maybe not. I think I'm trying to hit his math. Okay. So it looks... This was a three ball before. It's four ball now. Yeah, so we're trying to hit drop targets now. Yeah. So since we had a crappy beginning phase, our jackpots right here are only 500k apiece. All right. Looks like it wants to... Oh. What? Oh, my God. The ramp is going up and down. Oh, shit. We have to wait until the ramp is down. This is insane. Damn it! That was cool. Alright, see if we can get to the next one.
