just saying I haven't done this before so we can touch the screen and then Carl erases it video oh okay cool we're getting ready for the women's finals the final four and I'm Emily I'm Jane and I'm Tracy excited Ashley was the top qualifier absolutely yeah top qualifier overall I think Anna was Anna second yes also I think Ashley might have given the choice to Anna maybe with this game if she might have Pi her she did select in round one oh okay yeah so she deferred her choice yeah that when that strategy comes into play all right this plunge has been a little it's been a bit iffy iffy you it's rare to see a a 100 plunge yeah I think during qualifying it was 75 and now it's only been able to get 50 today I've seen as I lost by 30,000 points because of I saw that that was insane um so did you guys have any trouble with the gpy shot completely I I gave up on passengers entirely and and went for multi I hit a Target and then went down the middle I was like I'm just going to try and go for the lock so normally we would be trying to pick up all of the passengers uh and then get the jackpot at the gby shot but it's even if you could get that gby shot once the likelihood of uh getting it to pick up the the final shot seems unlikely so we're we're playing mostly for multiball here I think will be the strategy can also um still locks which is also the scary part on this game there is the 75 although I like the lock better I'd Rather somebody release get me another plunge exactly um I found the uh the lock shot to be actually pretty easy pretty late on The Flipper but y there she's got it just like that so she will get another skill Shot One X 275 on the I think we're going to I think we're going to see one 100 that's my prediction I hope so that was a good save all right she's trying to release the lock looks like going for that left ramp Nails it beautiful and it comes really quick on that left flip now she trying to lock a ball back up into the the right saucer followed by dra picking up some passengers on the way never hurts nice t double in Lane oh beautiful she got that jackpot as well all right so now she needs to hit the track shot again I think cuz she just had it backwards for a second yes she needs the two the two they were done out of sh though look at this yeah it never once stuck for me all right it's okay she can she can do it again yeah she if she if she cares to I she might just be using this multiball to pick up passengers like that's not a bad strategy actually and now two ramps will relight the oh she had carry passengers lit up here too bummer which would have helped since she had gorby good start though she's got to feel for the game now yep excellent start I think top scores on this were what like around 3 million yeah and then the average score was just 1 million I think somewhere around there the jackpot is fixed at 1.5 so nice you can't really raise it there it is there's the 100 I predicted nice ideally you want that on ball three but you take it whenever you can get it now she knows where it's pinbot oh that unfortunate shake so that lock will be there for Ashley Ashley's having fun with the cameras today she is having fun playing all nice now does that cab at the top do anything other than raise the jackpot if you get enough of them it will light your extra ball at the drack shot which I believe is for points but I'm not sure if it is or how much it is I think it was cuz I may have gotten it in my last game okay yep any idea how much that was worth no idea all right so she actually has carry passengers lit now too oh now it's gone that was rough but she did relight her lock that lock is now waiting open for player one an or did she relight it or did I see that after the uh ball drained yeah I'm not sure I think yeah I'm not sure if she yeah I don't think she Rel it I think it was maybe Anna's ball that we're watching now so close better than a 50 better than a 50 nice save that from the outlane oh another nice save wow going for a l shot here yep picking up pinbot though Maryland targets dangerous Center face now we'll see if she'll try and go for a locks again and try and relight that or she'll pick up some passages instead yeah so she needs actually pick up a passenger before she can light the lock again oh I see yes um the passengers for some reason I thought the ramps had to do with the me too I thought yeah no it's uh picking up another passenger will give her um her lock sh so she'll have to yeah hit one and then we'll see if she goes full off there is that special anything is it points it's standard that's that's what everyone's going to get at the joy ride I believe um unfortunate it just rings the bell makes everyone excited quick ball this taxi is being so mean this round though that that the skill shots you know are important this is this is at 2x if a player can lock a ball and get another skill shot that will also be at 2x um Leslie's got her lock lit so uh yeah the PO just going to say the postp pass actually seemed pretty friendly on this game these rubbers can be really tricky I thought that they were really tricky especially on like a Stern but because of the you know geometry I think that post passing is pretty just have to worry about those slings they're very very slingy today these these been nice these rubbers don't make it easy all right let's see what Ashley she can get this lock she's got this plunge I think you know pretty well down oh close wanted to be a 100 feel like yeah there should have been one more she gets another shot at it okay sling be nice on the Fly shot on the lock there just a little bit early ramp o good save on the right out lane there all right slowing it down control Nails the lock another 2x skill shot come on 100 Just5 she shakes her head cuz she knows it was just like a half a turn away but still good Beau okay so she can release the lock on the left ramp here little late dra slowing it down again she might go gby here nope looks like she's trying to post pass so close there we go oh not enough just didn't want to settle on The Flipper good save there though into dra which is nice which is a super fast feed it really is I I think keeping your flipper up is definitely the move on on that dra release there we go we go ring the bell all right she's in control nice backhand to the dra shot wow now she needs to hit the dra shot ramps are lit express lane 300,000 ramp or is that right I don't know uh yes 300,000 I like this little backhand get that ball out of the way very fast which relighted her luck yep relit rather oh just got it a lane completion that helps too all right keep that flipper up yes o unfortunate drain there took a swing at the Santa great ball though she's now leading going into B three yeah it was a great ball really that multiball really helps all right now B three is especially when you want to get these these locks definitely 3x skill shots can add up quickly 100 but at least fast all right so Anna's finishing currently in third but isn't bad because that will spot you a passenger oh so if you're if you're not going to get the 75 I would rather L there we go I might rather have a 25 than a 50 but yes and it looks like it spotted her pinbot yep that's it would have nice been nice to spot gby though just to make advancements oh nice sa I'm glad we're not on the camera as I just jumped we've got a joy ride for a special oh she got an extra ball never mind I was went up just then I couldn't OT is being inconsistent right oh no no terrible feed off out of the pops so unlucky straight down the middle and just pass Anna with that score oh oh my goodness wow yeah just from the skill shot there wow so Ashley got a plunge off for that game yeah Ashley's great ball too will give her a four for the round for the game rather such a close game though the slings definitely make that game I think if you can get it under control and hit your shots that's the only way you can play that but once you start getting loose of the ball it's so hard to get it back totally but we'll see what game she picks next see if Ashley defers yeah this is interesting now that Ashley had so manys one that she uh doesn't have a lot of options left I wonder what games she could choose she doesn't want to choose yeah she was the driver of mine so she picked Iron Maiden Stargazer and Diamond lady so I think the only games she had left were I think Alice Cooper yeah and Elvis so they might be the two games she doesn't want to play so now she's deferring all of her picks but we'll see the Hannah being the second seed would have picked as well so she's also Limited in what she has left yeah she picked Diamond lady um Atlantis and uh def so she saved herself some options too well I personally hope we might see a little Stargazer or prospector since I love them I think it's Iron Maiden looks like an Iron Maiden yay Maiden as much as I enjoy game I never did get a hold of it this weekend I had uh my best card for a long time was the one that had the like seven million Maiden score on it that I was just like that was mine too 12 million maiden and I was like oh okay and then every other score that goes in slowly falling down but that's okay my qualifying card had a 27 so it was it was also getting pushed down a lot but um yeah this maid plays pretty nice pretty fair I mean it's a little it's definitely fair I think you know the the the tilts are set a little bit tighter on the modern games definitely kind of as you go but um yeah you definitely need that though with these games otherwise we'd be here for days I didn't see a lot of outright tilts on me no one danger here and there but yet that's fair definitely what is your favorite strategy Iron Men I like to light my locks as soon as possible both for mummy and for Trooper you don't want to get out of a maiden game without ideally a trooper um so that's really what I focus on first some people like to use their ball save to go for Spinners to get their Dives going I always like think that's a great strategy but I rarely do it I just start playing the game and there is a bit of a bull save here as well which is nice yeah and it's increased a little bit by that by that skill shot so so she got some some more ball save there but she needed it that was my go-to skill shot for the the skill shot's really soft I felt yep definitely is nice little drop catch just going for the loop all right so her mummy lock is LD on the left ramp hopefully we won't have any trouble with that that lock is being a little fussy yesterday slings okay she's used the danger to try to get control from those things controlled on her left Lipper now taking a look at that of left is ready lamp left lamp left ramp all right picked up icas because now she can uh she can get credit for a mode shot as well as for a lock beautiful so excellent look jop catch straight into the ramp now she just needs to spell mummy for B multiball and her lock lit is at the uh drob targets too which is yep perfect looks like she's trying to take mummy into this mode is also a good strategy strategy because this is a ramp mode and if you hit your ramps you will also add a ball to your mummy so here we go nice perfect start the captive ball gets lit for mummy jackpots based on switch hits um but most people typically like to focus on the adab ball too bad she's out of the multiball and the mo one down those slings super rough sling drain there lightning fast but progress at least definitely that one some good progress especially if you're working towards Two Minutes to Midnight which you know would be exciting to everybody should be and I don't think I saw a second drop Target completion so she still needs one more set she definitely needs the the trooper lock lit and we just got points a mummy uh and mummy hit without I might have jinxed it we were having some issues um with the the sarcophagus lock this happened to Alisa for the second time now something happened during her ball where yeah the ball didn't lock and then another one shot out during her mode so something funky going on there take a moment to acknowledge everybody who has been teching this weekend because abely this game did get opened quite a few times but it was always very quickly hand dealt with and back in qualifying yesterday during qualifying I was told to just play on when it was kind of missing missing a lot completion but this is a little bit different issue I think the switch is being fussy in a different way um yeah if the mummy switch is giving you hits without hitting it uh that could Advance you to Mummy very bear with us while we figure out what's going on um looks like it's being discussed with kle right now I know Alisa really this is one of her strong games too I think she might even own one uh her son Zach one of his favorite games for sure as well um they're both from Chicago area as asmi so we play all the time um excellent players yes she was saying how she loved this game and I told her that she knows the game too well because she knew that she should have had two balls during that M and all of us were like oh wow you're doing great Alisa but yeah she knew that something wasn't right right yeah but yeah prospector was also playing up a bit so all these games are slowly deteriorating but we've played so much pinball this weekend so it's fair enough that some things go wrong here and there they worked really hard to get prospector backed for all of us uh two or three hours glad that they did because uh yeah I mean I had some really fun games on that but in the late qualifying it really is it plays really really nicely too when it's up something different too with the two spinners right in the middle mhm and the yeah maybe we'll get to see it maybe not we've seen it in previous rounds quite a bit but um yeah what what's left that we haven't seen much of Alice Cooper Alice Cooper um did anybody play Elvis Elvis I picked Elvis when Anna deferred a little bit of a little like I couldn't I knew I wasn't qualifying anyway so I'm just like I want to play a I'd rather play a stern than an old one or something something I felt like maybe I could get a little more control on and I don't get to play that game very often so no yeah don't see it very often that Elvis was uh super fast yep very fast and very tilty uh I didn't wait long enough once uh I was playing after you in qualifying I saw that yeah so don't don't just wait when your opponent tilts the ball you have to wait for yourself as well but yeah I was very scared of that Elvis I think I had one card where I I tried to play it and then after that I kind of avoided it and just hoped that no one picked it in the finals which was good cuz yeah none of my groups wanted to play Elvis either well I honestly I do hope we get to see there are are some women here who know how to play that game very very well and I hope we get to see a good game of Elvis yeah during the qualifying there was some massive scores on that that I saw but yeah we'll see what happens there were some uh I think larger than normal rubbers uh leading into the Jail House Rock Shop is that is that right okay it was a pretty I actually avoided it until Jane I saw you hit it in there and I'm like okay you can hit it it'll go in because I had tried several times and so that was very helpful for me because I was able to believe another good lesson watch watch other people play the games but um yeah I was like this is easy for the first game like all my other games like how did I ever manage that thre no it doesn't work very well um still not sure what's going on all right I'm going to try to give an update here if this mic works um so Tracy got two free hits on the mummy Captain the ball as you can see before plunging even so what they're going to do is they're going going to pause the game go into the menu fix the switch the two hits is ruled as a minor malfunction at this point so we're going to open up the game fix that switch and then the play continues once that's been fixed as is right now okay cool so what were your favorite games do you think out of the women's lineup from this weekend I mean Maiden was my my kind of my go-to um I avoided it for a long time because of that bleed situation but then my last card last night I was like it's now or never to kind of put a Band-Aid on this and um yeah I like menen a lot I'm a new Stern person so that's kind of my only option luckily I do like this one a lot um I guess my other go-tos were uh I had a I mean Diamond lady was very Hit or Miss for me I was like feast or famine so I want to say diamond lady but I also don't don't want to say diamond lady at all prospector was super fun once it got back that was yes an unexpected treat um I had another feaser famine situation with uh Alice Cooper but uh yeah you had an amazing game on that yeah that was my first game so I was kind of just warming up on the game so I was like I would't try too hard just feel them and that was my best game I had on the like of the weekend on that and yeah I wasn't able to get anything really close cuz I was kind of just do you know that game very well do you have to play one okay you do own it so you know you know all the things to do I know the rules but I don't know the shots uh my game I can never find the orbits but this one I was able to find most of the time I would say but yeah still quite a hard game just the shots it really is it's so bouncy you said an intimidating uh Mark to every else to me right away definitely did but yeah I was trying to get it again it was so early on too yeah doing that doing that early in the qualifying scare people away hello everyone get to see how faces now instead of the game so we are fixing the uh Iron Maiden uh sarcophagus mummy switch issue and then we will resume play on Iron Maiden um I'm Jane ver wiise I'm Emily I'm Tracy as you can see yeah so what about you Tracy what what games did you like so when they announced Stargazer and prospector into the bank I was like I'm going to have a good time at indis no matter what happens because I'll just keep putting in cards on those two I love both of those games um I actually spent quite a bit of time uh a couple of local collectors invited me over because I'd never touched an Alice Cooper before and uh you did your homework yes shout out to Kim and Tom Armstrong who let me come over for three hours and figure out and learn Alice Cooper so I actually had a really good time playing it 15 million was the most I ever got I never the orbits I could not seem to hit them but it would give you a free uh free mode by your third ball uh so that was that's what happen that was helpful I thought maybe the game was malfunctioning no it feels bad for you it's like oh you can have one which is nice because then do anything why is there a mode yeah and you can get some scores up then by the third Ball but yeah but I found I really like the rules the shots are a little tight and I I wish they were a little bit easier to hit but the rules were fun so I enjoyed that a lot too um so those would probably be my favorite I kind of I love Classics but I shied away from both Atlantis and Diamond lady uh so yeah um prospector and Stargazer I could play all day long Atlantis was uh my first game of the qualifying two and you just kind of have this like we just got to get this one get get it out of the way you know get the Jitters out of the way and it went pretty well so I thought maybe this game is is is is my game it's been the downfall of me ever ever since but um did you guys do uh any of the trivia the the trivia for the game reveals so I attempted it and I was keeping a close eye on it and I was guessing Stargazer every single time because I'm like I'm never going to figure this out so I guessed Stargazer every single time and then I was at dinner with my family I think when uh when Stargazer when the Stargazer came so I missed it so then then next I was guessing prospector all the time because I'm like I'd love to play prospector again of course I was the time that the clue came forward for prospector too because it's not like I was figuring out the clues I was just I was picking a game and going for it guess the game that you want yes straty and I felt pretty excited I'm like I don't even care what bank they're in like put them somewhere and the fact that they both ended up in women's and I got to play multiple times was was pretty exciting yeah well it was funny cu the first time I came to indisk those two games were in the women's Bank as well I think it was 20 I never seen the machines before and so I didn't do very well on them but this year since I was kind of used to them I was able to get some scores on them which was nice but yeah although I have a sense that I think that the classic Stargazer was the one we played in 2020 h i i I'm not certain uh have to to ask you think ours was a little friendlier or I I think it was friendlier last time because when I went over to Classics I think I this this is a guess it's a guess that uh that that might have been the uh the Stargazer we' got a photo opportunity here by Jeff yeah I had the opposite experience I could hit the Spinners on this one and then I played that Stargazer in Classics and could not find the Spinners anywhere so that's funny well hopefully we will get to see it again hopefully you'll get your wish Tracy that would be and maybe you can answer some questions for me about the rules because I just try to you know keep the ball ripping through stuff and then sometimes really great stuff happens at the end and other times it doesn't and I'm not exactly sure why so hopefully we can talk about it but that would be fun have you put in Open tickets oh I have one more to play I just played two games on it while everyone is uh occupied with the classics now is the time to play your open games um just abysmal I never really think I'm going to do much in open though so it's so hard though to get five good games it's just uh yeah card based is it is a whole other animal it really is I'm very bad at it I have discovered yeah it's staying consistent it's like cuz once you get to maybe second or third good game it's just when the pressure gets to you and you're like yep so hard but yeah I tried to do a few I had one okay card and then I played Joker poker for fun and that just killed me and gave me a zero but yeah I still have a card going I think so I might just play it out but what are you going to what do you think you're going to choose I don't know CU it's like I've been doing well on Revenge from Mars that's been my game but um this card isn't going to go anywhere so it's like maybe I'll just play some other games that I haven't tried yet do you worry about playing revenge for Wars and having like your good best game on a dead card yeah that's that's what happened I think I got number 10 and I was like oh no but oh well it's okay I wasn't really expecting too much I was mainly focused on the women's cuz I was like I have a chance in that field I think more than the open yeah nice to be able to focus with open I uh I mostly was going what do I want to play and weet fighter is a game I have always enjoyed for some strange reason cuz I know it's a little uh quirky it is but I had so much fun playing it it wasn't a very good score but it was a blast so that was how my decision making was going yeah I think I might I'm gonna I'm going to finish out I've been like picking like short Q stuff which is never yeah never a really good idea reason it's a short you know but if you're not like being too serious about it anyway and you just want to you just want to play the games you know that's the thing to do but um I I want to play more Classics though I'm looking forward to yeah the CL Le getting another ticket in on that I have a Classics card in progress right now so Stars will be my next one over there because it's one of my two favorite games I was just picking short keys on that but that's the thing you have to do with that cuz those cues are so long even though they're Classics they can go for half an hour in this yeah and it's a short qualifying period so if you want to get in more than one card uh I so I I like right after I got out women's I uh picked Abracadabra cuz the quey was super short and ended up having a number to score on it at the time just out out after Usher I'm sure it's not held but um still take it but yeah I just you know that energy of just like well whatever you guess I'll do this now yeah you're more relaxed now so it's like a like a fun now those games are super fun yeah I'm not sure if I'll have time I haven't bought a ticket yet and I was thinking maybe after this maybe everyone's is going to trickle away and I can sneak a few games in but yeah we'll just have to see with timing cuz it's just such a short period and such long lines to get in but yeah I want to try out a few of those games cuz during the classics match play I was pretty much always on the left side of the room and never on the right same same spent a lot of time up in the front here all man this whole room is just a treasure chest yeah it's amazing all the different games here I see the rig moving again oh may have been maybe we can't fix the game oh no oh no I mean like back into position I think I think oh yep the umbrella is wobbling progress guys progress we've almost got gameplay back for you hopefully we haven't lost the attention of too many of our viewers but yeah there were a lot of viewers this morning hope exciting finish you know you got to stick around for this but luckily 9:00 a.m. Pacific is already noon that's true on the East Coast so they should be awake right yeah and for Australia everyone's waking up now so hopefully some people are watching good morning everyone breakfast pinball now when you travel over for a tournament how long do you stay well I've stayed oh we're back well I'll talk about that later but we are back on Iron Maiden and Alisa is up and now I think she is keeping this 1 million cuz they're saying that this is a minor malfunction to her benefit I think so she's got her mummy lit which is great you know it's a benefit but having something distract you and then having to wait you know it can be a little bit intimidating but it can also be a disadvantage so Shake It Off out hit your shots so yeah she's going to start this ball with her sarcophagus lock on the right on the left ramp ready to go she's blown this up a couple of times this weekend uhuh we go skill shot yeah she didn't get that because already qualified for a ball save but that's okay there it is Nails it you got to be confident on that on that ramp and it you just have to go for it so satisfying all right so now for capture ball slit to advance oh unlucky saw that up and overcoming still has progress though she's got her mummy lock so she's got something ready for her next bow progress is super important score might not reflect it immediately but on this game you can set your table for massive ball free comebacks now I wonder if Anna also deferred this pick since she's third unless got that um got that SK shot yeah I think she probably did I know Anna wasn't really planning to she didn't she didn't play this for qualifying um she didn't want to pick it the previous round so she's happy about that start there so FL vicus has started on the ramp she needs one more hit to the captive ball to light her sarcophagus lock looks like she's just go straight for these mod shots control on the left flipper I found the right ramp hard to hit for some reason it's much I think earlier than you think you think it's going to be extremely late but it's not then you get into that good little Taps to avoid the left outlane area okay she's a little frustrated but now she's got under control beautiful ramp there we go the combo oh off the tip of the upper flipper that's all right though she got through one mode and honestly getting through that mode is important because the next modes can be much more lucrative I feel y um easier shot much more lit as well not just and there's a couple multiballs waiting for you as well so song selection doesn't mean anything on this game but do you do you have a go-to song no I have started to I don't really have a favorite Iron Maiden song but I've started to pick two minutes to midnight as an aspirational goal that's fair enough yeah that's what I want to that's where I want to get to I like it I didn't know any iron maid songs when it came out so I would choose Run to the Hills because I played it on either rock band or a guitar and uh now it's a Superstition that I must choose it that was rough okay so ball one fumbled catch ball one a little ball one is still anybody's game I know Leslie was disappointed with her mode in multiball being quick uh but uh in the lead her drop Target's being lit for lock is huge um she just needs bottom to light her Trooper multiball yep she puts it up the middle let's see if she goes for targets actually got another letter so her mode is ready it's going to be Hall be the name oh sling again slings again but that mode will be waiting for her um on her ball three and that's a a really good mode because it involves the drop Target so she'll get those uh two for one and looks like Alisa has a preferred song I found uh holding up that upper left flipper gave a pretty good chance at getting a drop and a relatively good feed yep doesn't look like anybody else he been doing yeah you never really know what's going to happen when the ball hits those drops how it's going to fall back out but it's uh not a death sentence we'll see now if she tries to bring mommy in with the FL of will didn't quite connect with that Captain ball that will that will be a letter settles it down on her right flipper Nails the last letter and starts the multiball your ball save on the ball saves are a little bit shorter um that one's still probably going to come back settle this okay so close there light around separate and now she has exactly what she wants a ball in each flipper oh just rattles the second ramp she still in Flight of vicus uh no she is still in the in the mode yeah no good it's over now I was like I don't see a timer anymore I think I might just be a delayed animation back to Ed back to the Ed letters not interested in those drop targets takes the feed down to the flipper she has hallowood lit oh great nud there backhas yep all right this is my favorite mode guys what about you I like the modes with the multile okay that's fair enough rhyme yeah it tells a story I like I like I like stories in pinball so they're basically trying to break free by alternating shots with activities Oh still got some good points though from that mode and ball takes her into the lead all right so Anna's through one mode now she's going to be looking to make progress towards her multi right nice nice little tip good trust oh and it came back up she I think she saw that she might have had a Lazarus that's okay she has her mommy lock lit now so she can try and go for mommy next door you know I find myself playing more timidly than I think I normally would have yeah uh these you will get a danger but you can you know go for a big slap save you can go for a big move to you know you won't just immediately tilt you but it's hard hard to trust that yeah I found you could get a danger easy but two dangers was quite hard on this game yep if I remember this correctly the dark yep one shot then spinner that's right and if you combo uh combo the purple shots before hitting the spinner it raises the value of the spinner um lower left spinner is I think Ashley was going for drop Target there though she's near got them all down little spin there that will count for progression and I think it's with what is it like three spinner hits or three spinner opportunities will finish the for or give you the soul Shard maybe oh could not tell you I don't think I've ever finished but something like that if you complete what the mode wants you to complete uh the center will be lit for a soul Shard hurry up two dangers there for that Shake wow see you can you could give it you could give it a shimmy but yeah those slings they just fastan you know you don't have the time so Leslie still doesn't have her Trooper lockit so she may just go for her mode here just Taps it back up into the easy just like that Mode start nice she has that feed perfectly controlled got swept two of those locks I'm so excited I really really want to see a side oh wow caught that right sling straight to the left out lane again Aaron mating is being cruel all right so she's going to finish at 28 this is still an okay score right now compared to number two right now Alisa knows that she's not going to take a last so Alisa has her mummy BL lit again she did hit quite a few of them I think that's what I'm seeing on on the left yep I both love and hate the fact that the white shots begin to get harder yes y so the middle is not lit anymore if if you keep going to the middle shot it won't let you keep doing that um just wants to punish you for how easy that shot is but you know I actually maybe I'm just ask I really appreciate that it forces you to learn the shots that you're actually going to need to play the game so like can't just get away with it her second sarcophagus lock and it's done the malfunction again she should not be in a multiball right now unfortun Ely but the game knows though so so she drained one ball which was fine so she can play on so she plays on but yeah this happened to Alisa in my game as well it was very weird all right this is a multiball y so she will be locked out of making progress towards the actual mummy multiball during this but uh she oh it's not it's not registering she shot it up into the scoop but the countdown is she's losing the countdown oh no and it ball searched it straight down the middle that that was really and she was trying but it was in there because it shut it out it was in there but it didn't hit the switch H the and it didn't find it so and we are unhappy about this um because lot of funky things this is going to be a really hard one to rule I think she might even get a I mean I don't know combo I I should speculate I shouldn't speculate I don't play a premium very often when you get rhymed you not then need to hit the bullseye for like should it have even been up it should be up it should be up okay still shoot it underneath switch might be faulty yeah so it went into there and it didn't register the switch um and then it couldn't find the ball so it ball searched it coris is getting all of the malfunctions today on iron maid I know she actually uh she had hit this she had a pretty good hurry up value on that too it's just so unfortunate she hit her shots and then the game just gives that to you so we'll see what happens here with that I mean it might just be a minor malfunction yeah and then you just have to unfortunately like you know because I mean we've H had it where it's like okay it doesn't you know register you got the ball search you got to wait you got you got keep your hands on the flippers and um just hopefully recover yeah it would have been tough to would have been tough to save that one unfortunately shoot it straight down the middle it would have taken a move for sure gosh IR maiden's not having it yeah and we were so excited to see a rhyme y well we might still get to so it might look like a play on now and a stepping up all right I I think that that's actually the coring unfortunately there's yes there's nothing really could do there just didn't get the switch hit there and then the ball was out and playable and it just super unfortunate though all right Anna's up Anna has her uh drops lit for the trooper lock if she can knock those down um she also has the left ramp that's what she wants she's going to stick to it save there she goes all right only one danger so she gets another save two D so unfortunate coming out of those po just twice down the middle still has her bonus [Music] though going to be a third at best and has has all the options in the world ahead of her right now she has uh has not played her mummy multiball she has not played her super multiball she hasn't play she's played mode has she played a mode she played fear of the dark okay yeah I was like I don't remember her playing uh flight of Icarus and I was like oh yeah she's played and Ace is high unlike Ryme is an immediate two ball multiball you don't have to hit that hurry up shot so she just need three white shot two more two more white shots yep Eddie and her Center shots are still available to her she just uh with the sarcophagus miss that that was good under control and it looks like she only needs the bottom drop if I'm seeing that correctly and it's back handable yep she's going to let fall into it everything's going all right all right here we go cool now okay hopefully she will survive outside of this uh two ball multiball you can get an adall here her orb is lit I believe for the mystery adal it could just be light show oh yeah now revive is lit though so that is nice that's huge her outlanes are safe oh good shot there the she still got a ball trapped on her flipper it's a very smart way to play this you definitely don't want to put yourself in some that's to revive left revive has been best way to that her orb is now lit for the adall I I think yes right look like it there yep separating nice separation oh get the dar it's okay that's it has a little gross period but her twox is lit now and she has her Trooper locks now so she can go for those she's only two million away from Alisa right now I know oh her beautiful shot very clut shot oh she just lets it Fe oh that drop just takes my breath away it's a safe feed when you if you know it but yeah I was a bit worried I didn't know the feed so I left that little flipp up and it do which can be more dangerous but it's like all right lock lock there she goes nice and I think that she might actually have passed yep she Tak first place she doesn't even need to play this multiball she doesn't even know um but you know she's not going to take her chances she's going to nail that shot y celebrations beautiful shots there all in a row multiball for for the win she knows it now Qui power jackpot for the road what the points are looking at right now then all right yeah so this is uh second game and Ashley's the second game I think we got Tracy looking up yeah it was yeah the points now for the girls yeah so Ashley will be at eight Alisa will be at four so there is still a tiebreaker possibility that's right okay so Ashley's not guaranteed the win just yeah uh I think the circumstances would be Ashley would have to take last on the third or fourth yeah the third game and Alisa would have to take first but a nice place to be sitting yes definitely so we see whose pick it is now I think maybe Leslie picked iron mating I think it might have been cuz Anna deferred it and then Leslie was going first and the next top seed gets to pick player order so seems likely that Leslie picked the game and that's why she played first just then but we'll see trying to see where people's eyes are looking where their focus is starting to drift to watch the umbrella see where the umbrella goes oh no it stopped what do you so what do you want it to be first Stargazer you want Stargazer yes I don't bet we're not allowed prector but we're not allowed um it would be funny if it was Elvis Just because I feel like it is still a fair game where it's one of those Sterns where everyone has the equal chance to get the multiples and everything I feel like I think I remember at Leisa putting up a pretty good Elvis score and qualifying we spend so much time staring you know and everybody's St like it's weird to think that I might know you know everyone's qualifying scores but um but yeah I think the game's being decided now oh my gosh guys Star it's Stargazer what a great game to end on come on lit Spinners be kind to the players there was something funky going on before but I think that has been fixed now oh right earlier what was that do you know I I think someone was saying I think once you got the drop targets down they weren't scoring they were scoring a bit later like just the I'm not sure I don't really know I would never have known I wouldn't have known either that's why I think just some of the drops are being a bit slow and just counting the points I think so they thought maybe there was some issues going on with the drop targets there but I think everything should be all good now one of my favorite things about this Stargazer is that you can earn extra balls and play them yes which I kept raising my hand for the S keeper to come andic like oh my goodness I get another ball so so there's three beautiful Spinners here uh the far left and the far right are going to get lit by those little rollovers near the flippers if uh if the light is on light spinner when the ball rolls over it and they get lit for 10x um the spinner in the middle the value of that spinner is determined by the when you hit the drops down that are next to that spinner and you can see the the moving light uh at the top the drops are worth a lot and the Spinner's worth only a little and at the bottom I'm sorry at the other way around uh if you get the top light the Spinner's worth 4,000 um and the drops aren't worth much as you complete them if you if they you light it closer to the bottom then the drops are worth a lot more and the spinner is not worth as much cool okay um but you do need a drop down before that spinner increases in value I think it might 200 a spin that was rough um she did have her it seems like how could the ball find such a small place but it always does and you can give this uh game a good nudge I found just while it's bouncing around give it a nudge and it seems to be F don't be afraid to draw on the screen uh Tracy while you're explaining some of this stuff to terrified to draw on the screen the power um so talk to me about the uh the astrology symbols all near the top bumpers at the top so that's your yeah that's your attempt at an extra ball and you could see that the farle 10x was lit there um so once you complete I believe oh shoot I'm going to get this wrong uh that's okay no one know I think I don't know if it's one or two completions of all of the symbols will light the center drop Target in the very left drop Target Bank oh wow for extra ball and since you can play them on this game it's worth keeping an eye on that was a brilliant not want to is the Beautiful also lit extra bow I think I've seen here's another question uh I believe that it might be special another question she just ripped that that that good spinner it was worth 200 a spin I think okay so when when it's just flashing it's that's it's still worth something right so she's locked into 3,000 a spin right now on that Center spinner I love the rules of this game oh couple spin the good news is it doesn't unlight the other ones once they get done spinning unlight until you get that roll over again okay if you can if you can hit it again and keep it spinning as long as it's still spinning it'll stay lit so generally you want to knock some but not all of the drop targets down at the top when the light is towards the top and then rip and if if you can get trapped up you can hit it from either flipper you can get a drop down in order to lock in that value there we go we're locked in in the middle oh and straight down the guts from that so unfortunate this always happens in the in the tense moments of competition it's just like so suddenly you're getting the mean drains but yeah this game could definitely be a one more game just once you have those spinners going locked in you can get massive spins from those bonus does carry over in some way if you like you get a super bonus or whatever right I don't know when you get the 12,000 I think yeah okay so we're locked in at a low level but it's still you know it's still worth more than that was great brilliant it was a tilt it was a tilt it didn't look like that big of it didn't look like that on camera that it was a big shove but feel a wait Alisa you get frustrated because you just can't believe you're going to get Center drained again got to do something about it but unfortunately it's not going to give her a bonus and I can't read it from those rollovers do four things and I'm not sure what the top three are I think light spinner think a lot of people don't know what they do it's spinner then who knows what the rest is I've heard some people will play to like yeah just when they have the ball trapped back flip it just a little bit to uh and we aren't seeing the chat so somebody's probably telling us right now yelling at us right now like yes you can do that it says this a lot of the time though yeah it's very easy for them to brush over those rollovers when you're trying to fidd fiddle around with the you get that good Spin and then you look up and you see the light still moving and you're like why both of her Spinners side Spinners are oh the she did hit the one of the left so but her right one is lit both is over y all right oh so close to that left now light moving again okay take control come on spinner it's so hard to get it trapped on this on these flippers as well yeah the momentum the little yeah bounc on each other like that oh that's going to unlight that spinner okay that's fine no unfortunate drain down the middle there's something about though the the different feed that you get because of the way this is designed that makes it it's so unique there is no other I don't know if there's another bottom that is like that uh yeah I don't either I can't I can't think of one that has exactly this kind of Sling geometry these little I don't even know what to call them what are they half half circles oh and Stargazer can be cruel the slings just pill that's okay it's tight now everyone's got to close game so be full three yeah honly no one's no one's locked in major bonus um so no one's running away with it yet nice and even see if Ashley can do that nice Reaction Time little spin action there so hard to decide to when to let it bounce and when to flip as well exactly little to be I mean nice the other most common way to die just not getting enough bounce slipper and watching it go down the middle it down the middle and as we just saw you really can't do much about that or you do risk the Tilt and the Zodiac letters did carry over so uh Leslie only has two left I'm not sure that that's something that she'd be looking for she's probably focused on her Spinners but um this is a scary feed there was nice that left fli go the left spin is now okay now it's only one zodiac Target left there at the top PR yes 3,000 wow for now the other spin she got her 12 oh yep she did get her 12 three but still okay so since the zodiacs were completed and I didn't see the uh drop Target light I'm guessing it must be two completions so they said sure why don't you play your extra balls but let's make it really hard for you to get to it I didn't hear anybody talk about achieving an extra ball on this turn I think that yes something that just comes by and you can just take it when you can I I felt like it happened from lots of upper bumper action that was my that was my sense when it was happening for lot of bouncing around oh nice catch there Leslie's a controlled player and she really wants to get control on this that you can do it but it is tough right spinner is lit she's got her good nudges going right now so she's keeping them away she go s down going to try to time probably that drop Target excellent the nice thing about that one is until you finish the drops it's going to be that value so that the other one's UNL but if you can keep hitting your uh your Center spinner wow good saves two amazing saves there I will say getting close to completion of the zodiac targets again there it is excellent spinner and you know sometimes if it's too hard it'll just Ricochet right back into it from behind and stop all the spinner action I think that's ideal when when it rolls oh nice save excellent slap save you're definitely getting to see the joy of Stargazer on this B yeah that b is all you need thinking about what to do she might want to send it back up top she really wishes it was on the let's see she my goodness she's got her extra bow she is trying the light is on at the B she's like no I want this on my right flipper and I will make this happen so I don't think there was the um I never see those taret but she didn't complete the targets the second time so I wonder if maybe the light yes look at that spin rip the ball stopped it but she lets it goon is huge and that was and she has another to play and now she has an extra ball so up over a million and just that one ball and look her Bon is carried over so it was worth it [Laughter] now and she has one zodiac as well up there so great one one zodiac Target to go if it she could potentially get and if she I'm not sure I heard someone say this if you hit another bank of targets down it does let you get another extra Ball but she had a first good ballus that's um all worth it there excellent amazing last B for Leslie yeah ending on a high there and that is the reason I love Stargazer when that happens when you have a ball like that it's just feels amazing it is it is a joyous game think Lisa was going for that spinner there on the right oh drop targets got completed so and she has one zodiac sign left two on the right hand inside be exciting if we see another extra ball which one is it do we know can we tell is it the the upper the upper one on this on the right side near the spin make youw I'm going to make you jaw thank you for that okay I have now gotten over my fear of drawing on the uh screen in the last ball of the last game yes which I should have been doing while I was explaining the rules there it is okay so now come on obit in all the drop not even if she hits that left one we can see if it didn't give it to her the left drop but the it was should be it's the middle drop that does it so I think it was already down so maybe now count okay come on let's see if it but it's still not lit so that's why I'm not want that out Lan drain and she's doing a great job tapping the machine make sure that it doesn't just sail into the oh wow nice spin unfortunate flip there but amazing last ball too and so with that Ashley has won is that correct because Alisa was the only one who could force a tier yes so congratulations Ashley Ashley what a game what a what a whole tournament honestly she qualified first and finish first and great way to end as well with that so hard to do it is so hard to do that so okay we got a high level uh and Leslie might be able to take out the second now with the win if she is able to hold on to one million we still have to see how everyone else places spinning and so one one zodiac left here as well nice spin I know that we're uncertain exactly when that extra I always forget about those ones at the bottom so thank you for drawing that I was still looking I was looking up top like what are you talking about yeah those are hard to get as well they kind of just bump into each other from the B 12,000 bonus trust there oh ni nice nice okay we so Shar were it okay so there's definitely a completion Center drop Target is down already so yeah I think it might have been down before she completed again trying to lock in a value but we're still not certain if it was took two it's going to unlight we've got the right spinner lit a little frustrated but we are so close to that spinner got caught up on the insert a little bit there we didn't talk about that that actually can happen on this game too where if it's uh moving too slowly in the center of the Playfield the inserts can affect spinner and control excellent shot beautiful rip and one zodiac Target down dialed and I think she's got the 24,000 as well pretty pink light right there in the middle what you want to see I want to see if she can get the extra ball now too I'm I've got this right about how it's awarded theous right of how to get it it's still the light itself doesn't uhx bonus Su fight fought for it if it was lit we'd know for sure to shoot for it but come on random Ricochet oh sh again I think it was from that top set of drop targets there that gave it to and this bonus she get that wow this is awesome so forgive me viewers we can't see the chat if you were telling us that I had that I had it wrong I thought it was the uh the middle of the left drop targets but something else awarded it it may be any of the um groups of yeah targets then she wants that to fall backwards but it will not nice control there the back hand of those targets was a little tough it was very early much earlier than you would think yeah nice and now the light is on on the right side so that's for the special does she have 4X lit is that what that light is I I do think that that is the special on the right hand side oh special so she does not want to tilt away her bonus save what are the specials worth I'm not sure I thought that was the extra Ball but she doesn't want to drain up that out lane but it would be some points I think I'm not sure she can also yeah get the special though from that upper right set of drop targets I'm pretty sure that's why that light is on yeah she has nowen lesli score overt a oh yeah Leslie yeah great comeback on third ball from everyone oh great save again oh quiet huge massive bonus there wow yeah we might have we may or may not have a tiebreaker right that would be fun yeah more Pim now Ashley's just in the fun in the fun spot right now yep she'll be more relaxed now hopefully and then just kill it she will be the indis 2023 Women's Champion so amazing just miss that spin there rip yep how she finishes will affect the other players so she's still you know still in it giving it her her all two more oh no three more zodiac signs oh now two and just that Taurus down there oh you know your symbols and something spotted it so we've got one set of drop Target completion another new thing drop tget stand maybe that's one of the rollovers is to spot a spot a she's trying the uh trying the the the Stargazer not post pass scoop pass maybe we can call it sure it has a name that value right there is so good in the middle spinner oh that was a fall back I'm for disappointing spin this is a dangerous speed backwards action okay we've completed the drops so unlock that value nice wow of the 10x slowly catching Alisa's score of 600 she has 12,000 nice brilliant we're going to get a replay of that icy Carl moving over there that was oh God this is just this is why she's the winner guys and Stargazer wants her to go down the middle and she's saying no nope not now again I've got more to play She's Got she's got more energy so okay at least that one spun that was nice oh oh amazing last ball though wow so [Applause] good and so does that cause the tie break I I think there is oh there's just been told three way oh that's right I saw the signal as three I thought he meant three saves but no threeway more Pim uh took second so she will be at four Alysa has zero so she will be at four and Anna won that game what an interesting sub of events I mean excellent play by everybody wait there's an extra ball it's not it's oh my God we don't know I didn't I did not see it I didn't definitely did not see that no I didn't God where did that even come from well things can change again yep we spoke way too soon guys so it's it's all about this ball so she overtakes yep she passes Leslie I'm not sure about what the scores will be like think we still have a tie if she passes Leslie it might just be two yeah I think you're right uh but if she if she wins the game oh no then Anna won't so yeah then no there won't be much matths going on right now so much M and her bonus is still big she's got the 24 and 12 yeah so 2x oh yeah it's 2x such an exciting way to end this tournament oh so close 10 the spinner was cruel so she ISX Bon Leslie she is not going to let that ball drain down the center like she's going for that special Target it's lit Orange it's so juicy right there there we go she's just cly let that bounce went for the Target saves I'm not blinking you guys I'm not blinking I have to Blink wait is there still going to be a time cuz Anna's if she overtakes Anna if sheak there won't be a tie Alisa has four mhm great what's that flashing oh my gosh everything's flashing everything's flashing she's got everything that's bonus though yeah bonus might cat Anna here think the bonus is going to count for a little while yep there it is there it is wow what a finish Ashley Ashley sweeps the final round wins that was amazing all three games I could see her leaning over right now she's and and coming from behind too on like the last two all in the
