TL;DR

MPT3K plays Riverboat Gambler (1990), explores mechanics, discovers Easter egg cheat code.

Summary

Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 hosts Das, Shannon, and others playing Riverboat Gambler (Williams 1990), a System 11 casino-themed machine. The stream features extensive gameplay commentary, exploration of game mechanics including the roulette wheel color-bet system, extra ball awards, and multiball modes. The group discovers and tests an Easter egg cheat code ('shimmer'/'hello world') that requires specific button sequences. A minor mechanical issue with a stuck ramp briefly interrupts play mid-stream.

Get my lights down. We alive. We got them all signed. Woot woot. We're about to disrupt this music. Hello, MPT3K. You know the drill. We got a special game. Right on that lovely riverboat. Riverboat Gambler. So it's me, it's Das, it's Shannon. You're in the shop for like one more night. Moving on to a local bar, so we're going to play it tonight. Whoosh! Wow! Look at this puppy. I'm impressed. How's it look? Everything looks like that light is back. That's alright. No, no, it's all good. Okay, so we're trying to get this whole back glass in because it's amazing. the jackpot hopefully you can see and the player scores and the roulette wheel and all this stuff so this is Riverboat Gambler from 1990 yes jeez and it's like in the era of Black Knight 2000 and Bad Cats as well Bad Cats is a very is it really Bad Cats the bonus countdown is identical the bonus countdown yeah it's the same system I believe it's system 11 okay I'm gonna believe what you believe I think that's what I've heard being said. System 11. All right, Don, show us how to play. All right, let's gamble. Here I am. Great sounds on this. We do have a party going on, so we might not get all the sounds. Oh, we'll get, yeah, maybe. I don't know. We'll see. This skill shot's going to look pretty cool. It's basically a shot up here that almost makes it, and then comes right back down under. You can go too hard or too soft and they'll tell you. So our plunger is a little weak, so this should just make it. Almost made it. Too soft. And then that's not how you play. Now I'm going to kick Taz's butt. All right, so I got all kinds of things lit. Full plunge or what? Almost, it's pretty much a photo line. The plunger's got to be great. It might go a little farther, but it seems to go right in. Yeah, got it. I got the skill shot? Yeah. Woo! I'm spinning. Red. There are actually four buttons, red, white, green, and black down here. And I had to... So when you get a star up there, even if you didn't get the right color, it adds a star. And when you get three stars, you get an extra ball. Okay. Even though you didn't score it, it landed on a star. It's just kind of an extra change. Oh, okay. And that's how you get your extra ball. Hello, everybody. Shannon's up. Hello, David. Lucky river. I keep saying lucky river. She got it. She gets black. Oh. Did it count? Okay. They say yeah with two A's on the display, but it always looks like year to me. You're out for the marriage. Year. I'm like, year? Why are they talking about the year? Year. I put both my feet on the ground. There we go. We lost. Going green. Going for the hard one. I didn't realize there were only two green. That was a bad choice. Green was a bad choice. Boom. Ryan Policky ball locked. You get another skill shot opportunity, and you get the slot machine, which gives you points. Bail bar set. Summer. Okay. Nice! You're good! Go red! Red, red, red, red, red! I'm a bad gambler! I think I saw you six in a row. Oh really? So you should just always bet on black. I kind of do. I know, didn't even know. I think just be in multiple. Take care of some of your casino letters. Take the blackjack shot on the left maybe. I don't know. Ah! Shit. I've been trying. Oh. Oh, God. Ramps worth $100,000. Oh, God, no. Oh, that's a hard nut to hit. Well, that's all right. You got all your cards going. That's pretty good. So you can ship away at the ramp next time. I guess you light the cards. Okay. I guess by hitting these. Completing bank, lights. We're a flush card, yeah? Okay. I don't know what that does. It doesn't have any instructions on it. Good God. Oh. Oh. Wow. White is passed, which I don't know why you would do. I don't know. there's to me no reason ever why we would do that oh it's not level we moved it it's not level it's a little off what's up pink ninja man and friends yes it's das it's shannon it's me we are playing Riverboat Gambler because it's only here for like a day. So we better play. Skill shot. Oh damn, I missed it. Whoa. Whoa. Let's see if I can hit that ramp. Blackjack maybe? Whoa, Nelly. Ooh. Keep hitting that. Keep hitting that. Oh. Oh. Looks like it's ready for multiple. Do-do-do-do. Oh. Go up. Get up there! Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah. Woo hoo hoo! I love it! Let's hit that guy over there. I got so many shots lit. Oh I heard that. Oh! Oh! Okay, I'll stop. I'll stop. I gotta stop doing that because I sound like a moron. Okay. You guys can't hear him singing. The song is really awesome. So it's in the era of Black Knight where they had a little extra... Thank you. Thank you. They had a little extra memory so they could make little samples of people singing. What do I get? Bar. Star, star, star. I got three stars. Does it give me an extra ball? No? Okay. I got seal. Seal. Isn't that like a skill shot? Yeah. I'm killing it. Always bet on black. Let's go black. Let's go black. Let's go. Oh, you. It's not fair. It's a roulette bet. I don't know what makes it. It's a jackpot. But it's just a roulette. It seems to happen. I don't know if it's like a big round. I'm getting enough time to actually compare and count. Oh, almost. Oh, damn it. I go for that. You want that red ramp a couple times? To get your two million. Yeah, that's the lean. I can see it. I got two stars. Wait. Well, it still says I have one star. It awards you the second chance you start building stars again, I guess. Okay. Oh, Shannon, I'm catching you. I've been caught. I've been caught. Skill shot. Black. 5 million waiting for you. 4.5 million up there waiting for me? Black. Oh, you sucker red. You lose chips too. You lose half your chips. Oh, come on. Which is bonus. That's garbage. I guess in winning things, you need one more right ramp. One more right ramp. Oh, okay. To finish your royal flush for the sea. I don't know what the N is. I've got to look at it. It says right on. I keep... All right. I threw that away, but it's exciting. Okay. 3.6. Here's my bonus. 415 chips. Right on that lucky. Oh, not good enough. All right. All right. Folks, let's go. Ball three. Oh, the plunger's dying. Or you're too hard, but the plunger's not good enough to be too hard right now. Stop. Oh, that's useless until you complete the card banks. Okay. Yeah, there's no cards lit, so it doesn't do anything right now. You've got to complete these to start lighting the cards to collect them. Oh, I'm sure there's something else. It basically wasn't doing what I thought it would do. Whoa. Missed everything. All right, I got my, I got a second chance for completing those chips. Yeah, just for completing this. That's good to know. There's a lot of extra balls in the game. Okay, here we go. Oh, that thing raised up. Yeah, it can either go to the left or to the right. I realize you're just for the water. Nice. Another useless ramp shot. There's a whole ramp that the viewers can't see because it kind of goes under the backbox there. Nice. The tilt was really tight. I think they loosened it. Literally, Walter got tilted for looking at the game. No joke, he was looking at it from the side. I saw a warning that he steps up to play a tilt. He didn't even plunge the ball. Yeah, I usually tilt when Walter... No, you got an extra ball. Ayo! I tilt when Walter looks at me, too. The cooler! Generally speaking. I mean, really. I want to play some roulette. That's not the way to... Oh! Well, that's a comeback if I ever saw one. Oh! That was the best one. That was the best one. Don't call it a comeback. Sorry. Oh, my ADD is kicking in. My, uh, yeah. I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm scared. All right. Okay, what am I looking at? I need the N and the C. It looks like you just... You have all the cards. I thought C was five. C is five card. F-I-V-E. Okay. And then N is roulette, which is... Oh, shoot. I got to actually win roulette. Oh, man. It didn't... Too soft. The red ramp is good now to get the road flush. Road flush is over there. Can you post on this? The green is the multiball on the left ramp. Oh, you can change these. these. Yeah. Okay, you can get 50 chips. All right. We'll see what happens. Oh my God. The green. Darn. Green. Oh boy. I know. I know. Wah, wah, wah, wah. All right. All right, ready, Freddies? Heyo, finally a match. I should Pindigo that score already. 4.8. That's probably going to be the highest I get tonight. The minute you get a jackpot going, and it actually gives you the right for the ball, your score just doubles, triples. It's crazy. Oh, really? After you get a jackpot, you shoot it again and get another jackpot. You get three in a row. If you keep winning, it's still open. Oh, wow. The jackpot doesn't go down until you lose your ball. It's ridiculous. You get like 50 million in screenshots. All right, I'm going to go first. I'm going to go first. Oh, I didn't get the skill shot. I got the cops. Really? The intensity is like, don't fall asleep, I'm in the riverboat. Oh, save. I saved that. Yeah, you did save that. Oh, I see. I see now. There's a roving thing, I think that locks in her award. So if you lock it on the star, you get a star to lead to extra ball. So I'll test that. So I think the minute you hit one, it stays on there, and then you complete it to get that award, which would be chips or the star to get to your extra ball. Oh, the plunger's dying, folks. No one can make a skill shot. Yep, it locks right there. Why am I shooting for chips? I mean, his strategy was good. That was crazy. What's that one? Woo! With my wrist, that hurts. Lower back. Lower back. Lower back. I know! I guess he just hit it a couple times to light it. All right, that lit both of them all. I got a slot machine spin. Slot shot. 100 Gs. Yeah. You're a god. I do it every time, don't I? Ah! I wonder what happens if you do nothing. Do you just pass? Yeah! Year. Quick multiball. Oh my god. That was a text book. Here we go. Jackpot, baby. I've been trying to look up there and see if it matters when you hit it. There you go. Five million. One nothing. And I can get it again if I hit the left ramp again. And guess the right color. Oh Oh God Oh God Fuck it Not enough I like how it doesn empty out the ramp it diverts it to the pops Oh, damn! Yeah! There you go, another Jackman. Keep it in black, baby! So I think that ends your jackpot round. So you get as many... So I guess you can collect as many in a row as long as you get straight. Who won, USA or Canada? USA! Goal! I don't know what I won, but I won. What is this called? Bubble hockey. Bubble hockey. Or super chips. See? Bubble hockey. Green hockey. That's actually the shots on goal on top. The shots on goal are on top. That's how you pitch the goalie, but it doesn't go in. The score is on the pot. Oh. Yeah. We got to stream that sometimes. Go red. Like my hair. But you get a start. That's not giving it up. Oh, yeah. Now I'm angry. He's angry. I got my black jacks, and now all I need is the right ramp a bunch of times. Can I get some drop tags? Well, I can just keep gambling. Let's go green, like eco-friendly. Oh, eco-friendly, baby. Not for a jackpot, though. I don't know what you get for that. Oh, now it said, play roulette for Jackpot. Shit. God, I wish you would drag the machine in another direction. Whoa. You're dragging the machine in the same direction the whole time. Oh, that was a shot. Stonewall. Yeah, stonewall. That's a bigger thing there. Yeah, right? Let's ride down that lucky river. Good? Thank you, Chase. Thank you, man. If you get that, we will get help. What? I've been looking up there to try to do it when it's on the color to see if it matters. Yeah, maybe. I'm sure it's just on purpose that it doesn't fall. That was very, very good. Yeah, that was poorly close. That was poorly close. That was bullshit. Go down the middle. Yeah, that'll do up. I don't know why I want to go up that ramp over there. Because it tows you to the roof. No, no, no, that's not good. Not good. Not good. I got your tail. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Magnet. This is bad. Hoarded by the magnet. This is bad. This is bad. I don't like this. I don't like this at all. Yeah! 50-50. Yeah, man. We got a nasty game of hockey going on behind us. I just noticed on the back glass that this gentleman looking at the lady. Oh, yeah, the chick is pickpocketing the dude. Oh, I see. So he's not going to have a good time. I just need to get the rest of my cards, but none of them are lit. I mean, that's only two million, so it's kind of like not the most worthy to relet. Jackpot is the best thing. But it's fun to change up how you play. Oh, I got jackpot. No decision. No, no, no. Say red. Hey! See, they know. Now we can just keep going for it. As long as I get in there. Undefeated! I thought it was so much foot and it threw off my whole game. I'll take it though. That's pretty cool. Oh, too soft. I don't even really know what that does. So what if you get it into that thing up there? That hole. I think it just goes back to the shooter lane for a skill start. Oh. Okay. Just bouncing the ball around. Maybe thinking of a different hole, though. No. This one right here. Oh, that's a feed. I don't think that's a shot. It comes out of there. Oh, my God. Thank you. Jesus. We'll go red. I'm a bad gambler. That's okay. Okay. This car target is nasty. Before we end the stream, we should start a game and just jack up the sound for a minute so we can hear the river pump sound. Oh, okay. I don't know, it's a stir their party, but just like for 20 seconds to the distinct. Yeah, hell yeah. You're good. Always bet on black. Always bet on black. Yeah. Where's the extra ball? All right. Where's the extra ball collected? Oh, no, you just have it. Oh, I just have it? Yeah, it's a second chance. You just earned it already. Oh, look at that. That guy's lit. Bar, bar, 777. 200,000. Yeah. Always bet on black. Oh wait black Yeah Too bad Oh, God. Why is it always in the middle of the right flipper? That's not... Black! Come on! I mean, I mean, yeah. You know? Muscles. Okay. Go right back. Play. You get a limited jackpot. I'm going for black again. Big money. No whammies. No whammies. No whammies. Oh! That's 666. Woo! Feels good. No whammies. Jackpot! Come on! Black! Yeah! Come on! Let it roll! Let it roll! Let it roll! Let it roll! We're better than that, baby! Okay. Ba-ba-ba-da-do-do. Ba-ba-ba-da-do-do. Ba-ba-ba-da-da-ba-da-da-ba-da. Ba-ba-ba-da. Oh, is that it? Well, it's a ball up. That's good. Oh, well. Maybe you only get three tries. One time it hit Bell, Bib, DeVoe. It was awesome. All right, here we go. Skill shot. Oh, no. Give me that. Yeah! Waka. Oh no! No! Don't lose them both! Spot. Whoa, baby. All right, everybody calm down for a minute. Who's the boss now, huh? Okay, okay. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it. Das, what do I do now? You could get two million by completing blackjack, which is one shot there, and then the ramp until those are all done. That gives you two million and you start over. But otherwise, I just say hit the left ramp and keep going for those roulette jackpots. Yeah, hell yeah. Why not? I think it's there. Black! I don't know what lightsaber is. What do you think I'm going to pick? I'm not picking anything else. I got a star. I got a star, though. So not that extra ball wave. Just like in grade school. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Oh! All right, okay. There's no bonus collect on the shoot again. You've got to wait for it. Oh, really? Oh, no bonus collect on that one. Yeah, it's weird. C and A. Which one, one shot to the left where the cards are. These cards? That'll complete A. That'll complete A? C is completing the red ramp enough to get those last three cards. Oh, jeez. Come on. Just enough. Black. I'm going to rip all the other buttons off the game. The door. Hold it loud. I can't believe I was gypped. You got another extra ball. I got another. Woo! There's your A. There's my C. No? Oh, no. It's the ramp for the. Oh, okay. Oh geez. Oh yeah. No! Pursuit! This game is fun now. Hey, it's fun. It's We Give Earthito. Oh. But if I hit that, I'm good, right? Okay. What am I going to do now? I got two million. You caught up? I would just go for the left ramp again. Keep going into their roulette jackpots. I gotta keep going for black, because if I choose something else and it hits black, I'm gonna be mad. Yeah! Four million, right? No? I don't know when it's a jackpot or not. Now it's a jackpot. I think you gotta win one, then it lights the roulette for jackpots. Oh, okay. Color is black. Black. Red. Red Star. I'm this dude. All right. Let's keep it going. Let's keep it going, baby. No, no, no. Okay. Let's get that up there. Get that up there. Oh, I'm forgetting to hit my lanes. So if you do this, spot, spot, spot. Oh, it misses it. It passes it. So that's not where it goes. Okay. All right, let's see. Skill shot, slot shot, slot, slot machine. Just keep hitting the slot machine. Slot machine. Oh, I almost got... Um... I don't know what to do. Okay. I think I'll just keep hitting the left ramp. Keep hitting the left ramp. Get that roulette jackpot. It's up to like 5 mil now. 6 mil now. Oh, my shot is off now. Play the slats for multiball. Yeah, play the slats for multiball. What? Did you see that backhand? What's up? Don't panic, Flip. Riverboat Gambler is the name. Benton Black is the... Wait. Rubble Gambler is the game. Benton Black is the name. I forgot what the game and the name were. Skill shot. We are going with B-L-A-C. K. Come on, Black. Yeah! Yeah! Come on, Shannon. We gotta go to the Indian Reservation and do some gambling now. I'll put down my index money. Okay. Come on. Give me the 50 then. I'll take the 50. Woo, this is fun. Let's see. Let's go up there.

This ball is insane right now. Pick a color. Black. Yeah. Going for the board here. Going for the board here. Oh. Six-mile million on stream, baby. On stream, baby. Oh, no. All right, just threw that away. You're back to the seat again. One shot for two million on the right ramp. Right ramp? Oh, okay. That's my support board. Black! You guys know the drill, right? They're doing my high score. I took down Dallas' high score. You all saw it, too. Thank you. I haven't played my third ball, but, you know. That's the first time I've ever done something like that. Another three ball. That's fourth ball. Coming for you. I got my gold cup out now. If you tell me what to shoot, I can shoot it. The Red Rats are at two million right now. Riku Rinku, shooting the left ramp enough times in succession or going through a lit right in lane drops the slot ramp for multipall. Yep that what we been doing I think we just been Oh we been drilling it on that ramp Okay, what kind of bonus do I get? That was ball three? Three million bonus. Wow. I think that's going to be juicy unless I can take it out right now. Just reminding everyone. Always put on black. I'm a Go Cup man. I'm a Go Cup man. I'm a Go Cup man. I'm a Go Cup man. Block! God! Yeah, he's got all kinds of good stuff, man. I mean, that's kind of how it was. He shoots the left ram all day. It's literally like you can just shoot the left ram. Yeah. That's all you're... Everything else you just bump into when you're saving the ball. I got it. I got it. That's an extra ball. All right, all right. All right, all right, all right. Yeah, dad. I hit all of them. I was going to hit green, too. Got to go with your first instinct, folks. Wait, that's another extra ball? Game wants me back. It never shows up. Maybe it does. There's only two more. Hey, man. Are you alive? Oh, yeah. It's showing up here now. Oh, we're at MPT3K on Twitch. Oh, yeah, MPT3K. Thank you, bro. All right, just get 100 Gs per ramp, so I can just sit here and ramp out if I'm good. Get wogabars, wogabars. Just act like it's really warm, because the ramps are basically in the same class. I'm just trying to fly. Oh, Shabba-doo. Oh, Shabba-doo. All right, here we go, Jackbox. Two greens in a row. I could have saved that. I may have two extra balls. I don't know. I heard second chance again. Yep, I do have another ball. All right. Chasing 36 here, folks. Go, Docs! Hey! I don't got any cards lit, though. That's a multiball light. I missed it. So you can light your multiball through that in lane if you got the blue one there when it goes in the right in lane. Oh, Rinku Rinku just said something cool. So we're going to save it until Das is done. I'm trying! You're not beating the slots. I think the game just broke. It's supposed to go up there. Oh, wow. It's like an Easter egg. So that's an Easter egg. Awesome, dude. This is... I think the game just stopped working right. No, see, it won't give me my multiball. Really? The ramp should be down to go to the slot machine, and it's stuck up. Yeah, something's wrong with the ramp right now. Oh, you gotta be kidding me. I still get my sport. I'm not worried about yours. I still get my sport. You better not turn the machine off. Well, that sucks. They're going to be a little annoyed that it's... So it's not happening, huh? Yeah. It's trying, yeah. That's not fair. I should just pop it open and just see if I can push it down and it resets itself. Do you want to try? Do you want to try? Do you want to try? It's up to you. It'll be my ball. I lose. Nah, we'll wait until after the game just so I don't lose the scores. Got to find out how to make points without the roulette wheel. That's all. Go ahead. Green, baby. So I guess I'm going for drop targets now? It's stuck, yeah, it's definitely stuck. It keeps trying to move, it's not the motor. it breaks itself more. Alright. Oh, well, there goes my ball. It was a valiant effort. I like how close the scores are. No separation between the numbers. This looks like one big score. I probably won't last as long, so, you know. Like the numbers are just literally next to each other. I built it so no one could get my score down. I'm going to go black. I was cheated! She robbed me! Hey, what's up, man? How are you doing? How are you doing? Thanks for hosting us. Absolutely. I'm really happy to be back. Oh, it worked for me. Oh! Yeah. It totally did. It just doesn't like the... Yeah. It wanted to... Wow. I work with Nvidia, so we do a lot of... Black. Ah! Again. Sometimes I have to say it again. I'm notorious for wearing down. I'm not a superhero. Oh! No! competition. We know the following one. We can move it to that game. Nope. That's okay. Excuse me, Rod. No, that lucky riverboat. I wasn't riding on that. Which one's my camera? All right, beat it. There we go. Live takedown, folks. Bam! Bam! I scored! Yeah, they saved the vision there. Yeah, there you go. Even better, that's better. What? Your finishes are almost there. What's that? I didn't get a picture yet. You guys want to get a picture? I'm holding up the entire screen to get a picture. Can I hide my face? Put your face up? No, I'm not ready. It's coming soon. There it is. But that one that says, I score one. Oh, yeah. You got it. You got it. There it is. Well played, sir. Do we want... I put a cheat code on the ramp, yeah. Do we want to... So, we're going to try the Easter egg on the next one. What's the Easter egg? I missed out on that. So, check it out. So, Riku Rinku said, before you plunge the ball, press and hold the red and black buttons. then press pass three times, black three times, red three times, green three times, and the display will show shimmer. And when you press black and red at the same time, it will say hello world. So we're going to try that. Is that the AI crawling out of the pinball machine? It is. Passing the Turing test. Do you want to take a look at this ramp right now? Did it work for you? Is it supposed to go up and down right now? Yeah. All right. Basically, it goes down when you have multiball in it. You go to the slot machine. Otherwise, it goes under to the under ramp. Okay. Slowly try it again. Shannon, you want to go first? So it should start open. So it's supposed to start open, so that's fine. Okay, you want to do this? Oh, yeah, what do I do? So let's see. Oh, it said before you start. Press and hold the red and black buttons. Press and hold the red and black buttons. Okay. Then press pass three times, like while holding them? No. No. One, two, three. Black three times. Red three times. Green. Green three times. Oh, look at that. Did you see it? Did you see it shimmer? Oh, now what do you do? Now press black and red at the same time. Hello, world! We did it! We found the AI. Emerging from a system of level. Thank you, Riku. That was cool. It was exciting. Oh my gosh. Like this. Super hard to make. Yeah. Try it. I forgot who programmed that. You're up. 34 ghosts. Yep. Get all the Wonka bars. Because I know George loves Willy Wonka. All right, Ramp. Be my friend. Yeah. Good. Oh. Year. I think we know what color we go for. Oh. No jackpot. All right. Ramps working fine now. was minor hang-up now multi balls were nothing I don't know what the best thing to do in multiball is I think it's just an easy way to start getting other stuff done. So I lit some cards. What up, Wolfman? What up, Turkey? Is it black? Is it black? 5.257. And you can do it again. Oh, I'm feeling green, man. I don't know why. Marco has replacements for this table. Nope, no green. That was a dumb decision. Stupid. Uh, no I guess not, right? That would be kind of silly. Because you want the most chances of a pair. Why did you go green on Jackpot? Is something crazy? I just, that was the first one my eyes saw, so I tried to trust it. It did not work out for me. Even a broken clock's green sometimes. They didn't, whoa, they didn't go for a clear ramp, so they wanted to get the color more cheaper there. I guess I'm ball three I'm going to try that Easter egg again Damn, this game got some ramps Okay Hold red and black Press pass three times One, two, three Black three times One, two, three Red three times. One, two, three. One, two, shimmer. And then hello world. Hello world. And it only does it once. That's it. I forgot I have a night bot now. I was like, who is that talking? But that's because Don't Panic Flip helped me set up a bot to talk to you guys. To tell you about the rules and like don't be mean and stuff. Left ramp all day. Left ramp all day. Slot machine. Bell. Biff. DeVoe. Win. That ball is poison. I like that. Thank you. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's my multiball. Ah. Ah. Ah. The Easter egg will work for each person per turn. You're up, man. I'm going red from now because I have gotten red every time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Too soft. Woo! No, that was fast. Nice. Ah! No, no, here we go. Oh, good. And a letter spotted. Or something. What is it spotting? What is it spotting? Spotting your son's CETO letter? It's a flexible part. Oh, okay. You've got to spot it. It's usually needs to collect something. It's kind of weird. Spot means you have it. I think everyone left it on the train. Oh, I see. C is always the last one in CETO. You're going to do everything else on that. Does the Easter egg get you to dance to other Belbibdebo jams? No, just him. Keep going Green Bay Keep going Paul This is why I never win this game Whoops Yes, like that. Yeah. I can't. I'm doing all right. I mean, I'm on the bottom of the barrel. That's without any jackpots. Yeah, exactly. That's without any BS jackpots. I had to design the game. I just play it. Those are real points up there. Good standing guy. Yeah, green. Ain't going to be green. And I don't know if there's any real benefit to it. Just get bored, you know. You got to choose something different once in a while. So see I'm stuck at C. But I don't think two million is that worth it. No, no it works right. You just have to hit a lot of cards. That's like the hardest one of the goals. Why did I say Ayo? Because everyone else did. Oh, my roulette light went out. Turn that back on. Missed the shot. There it is. Oh! I know you couldn't see it, but it almost made it. Oh, again. Wow. Nice. Might as well take out these cards. Nice. He's really good at that. I got to get better at that. Shabba go. Oh, yeah. There we go. There's my casino. Oh. There's my ball. Man. MPT3K, did you ever get your tables updated and fixed on your V-Pen? Mostly. Right now, I'm dealing with Time Shock. Pro Pinball. I don't know if you've ever played it. Pro Pinball came out with one table called Time Shock. It's a lot of fun. Does it help to know how to play poker on this pin? No. I don't think so. I didn't even notice there were cards on this pin. Let me see if I can just at least not suck so much. 14 million. My skill shot. All right. Always bet on black. Boom. Oh, I hit green by mistake. Dang it. Give me green. I wouldn't have gotten black anyway. I wouldn't have gotten black anyway. Ah! Ah! Where did it go? Oh. That was weird. I didn't see where it went. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. There we go. Ah, you suck. No! Well, this game is a waste of time. Their five-card MS right in the center. Play, Phil. Yeah, that's a real flush. I am doing terrible this game, but I did get the GC on here, and you saw it. We make a deli football game. We can make half a gram. All right. There we go. I'm going red. Oh, really? Garlic and an onion. That sounds fun. Oh, really? I'm going red again. Going red again. Oh! I lost $50 on a penny slot. Wow. In real life. That's a pretty big deal right there. Yeah. I'm not... You must have been there for hours. No, I was there for like five minutes. Oh, jeez. Yeah. I'm just going to keep torturing myself so that, you know... Let me do it again. Oh, my God. Shannon's tearing up that right ramp. She's burning that right ramp. Wall lock. We're going to see how well we can do without any winning. You know where to go points is an extra ball. So you got an extra ball now. Oh, too hard. Whoops. Damn it. Oh, I got a... All right. Extra ball. All right. Going black. I know. Green. It was green. Oh, but I got a second. I got another ball. Wow. She's coming at you. Back once again with the renegade master. Ah! So close. Then there's that. Too hard. Too hard. Missed. Pretty cool, you can actually see the bubble hop. You can see the player who is trying to see the game pretty well. So there's no escape. You can't see them, but you can see like the game. You've got the keeper, right? So someone's got to play 3-plus-3. Yeah, you can see right at the bottom right of the game. There's only half of it. Come on, girl. All the way out! And real points, not roulette points. Judge Judy and Executioner is the machine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And a star, baby. Where's my jackpots, though? Where's my jackpots? How do I light the damn jackpot? I should have four million points. Oh, that's an extra ball, though. I'll take that. Where's my jackpot? There it is. Three roulette wins in a row. Well. There it is. Oh. Wow. All right. Jackpot streak, folks. Those are not real points, just like me. Just like what I did. I'm not even saying I got $36 million for a skill. Ooh, ball locked. Locked my roulette jackpot. Bell, Bibb, DeVoe. Too hard. I get that sometimes. Finally, that was the first too hard. I was waiting for that joke for an hour. The plunger's just weak. Oh, yeah. Got it right back in there. Nice. Left ramp was green for a second. I don't know what that meant. I was interested, but I didn't get it in time. So you just get 100 G's per ramp. So I can just sit here and rack up some shopping wood points. No one wants to see that. There we go. I got my blackjack. Now I just need the ramp. Woo! Just made it. Save the ones you can, folks. Oh, I got roulette jackpot. I just wait for him to tell me. I don't know how to visually know it's jackpot, but he told me to. Come on, buddy. Come on, buddy. Well, if I could only just hit the jackpot shot. Let's take a breath. Black. Black is not a color. It is the absence of light. It is. Black is the absence of color. Oh, no. Oh, no. On that lucky riverboat. I like that exit a lot. It doesn't make you just come down the ramp again. One more cut for two mil. But no rush. I got extra ball. Oh that leaves yep you need to come up right here it's a full punch there's my casino money two mil now you just flap around till you have to hit the right ramp again oh let that multiball on accident Come on, star star star. Nothing. What do I do here? I can't hit it? No, you gotta block. Oh, oh. I can play the slots while in multiball. Okay. Let's see what that does. I did that perfectly. That's got 100 Gs, I guess. That's not bad. Yeah, 100 Gs. Yeah, so he puts it away for a minute, and then he gets 100 Gs. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. 25 million. What am I going to do? Let's imagine. So this is going to be it for tonight. I'm going to close it off. We have a party going on, so I want to throw a little love and respect for the party. There's the birthday boy right there.
