really love pinball well fifty dollars an entry will get you five games then you got to make the playoffs so are you gonna go back to the well a lot of people have been because it's so much fun and it's intense on that Papa ticket and some great games too we've got taxi we've got Robo War we've got some other fantastic ones that you'll be watching on stream including demolition man with the claw enabled so that'll be kind of interesting to see you're gonna play up top or down below like DJ royal is doing Pinball Magic the first ever Capcom game is in high stakes Joker poker set on five balls and extra balls are allowed another great lineman game with Tron over there and we've got finally Viking a very risk reward game I mean can you hit those inline drop Targets on the left and and catch it then go up the spinner well I'm sure we're gonna see some wonderful players do just that it's high stakes here at INDISC let's get to the action we're back yeah we are hair adjustment right we are back with some high stakes for high rollers and we did not come on yeah we're back for more high stakes for high rollers right yeah absolutely fifty dollars a ticket right so if you if you're really getting paranoid with it it's like oh 333 a ball is two dollars a ball and all but no no if you're if you're bringing the cash then fine we have the competition the winner of high stakes will receive six thousand eight hundred and six dollars that's a bit even second gets four thousand I mean four thousand two hundred dollars so oh my God everyone who qualified got three hundred dollars that's uh that is a significant just for getting in that's 300 for you so that this is where that's where we are as far as how high these steaks are and taking a glance over to where the high stakes is the setup is under is by taxi so it looks like taxi is where we're going first suspicious that I don't know let's see yep oh no no coming off a taxi false alarm false alarm nope do we have brackets what's going on high stakes place we have the brackets we've got four groups top 16 our top four seeds are Christian Escher lefkoff Raymond Davidson and Andrew Foster you guys can yeah I mean I can hear you through the air technical difficulties I'm not sure that other people can hear you um here he comes so uh you can find the bracket at neverdrains.com 2022 and uh and then just go down to the high stakes playoffs and you will find our brackets the high seed gets to choose the games and then it's a choice position after that and it looks like we are going to taxi with uh Raymond Davidson Kaylee George Colin Urban and Zach McCarthy ah these people that would be a very world champion world champion Zach McCarthy it sure is I also think that was old info because that seemed really yeah you're telling familiar yeah I was like wait a minute I think I've seen this Chris Jen from Seattle specials number one seed wow yes that is awesome Yep and Jared August who apparently once uh he played excellent over here in the finals gets knocked out goes belcito's himself into the high stage wow yeah that's legendary of course he came into some money making the final eight in Maine so he uh turns out he just parlayed that into uh into another tournament and then is it just coincidence or irony if that he's in a group actually with Jim belsito you know I think that's probably coincidence yeah or just you know the injust way and then Zach sharp yeah I don't know some guy named Zach now this should be this should be a super excellent excellent group so uh you know it's getting late and we're gonna get a little Punchy at the end of this because this is going to go late Carl's gonna start to go a little insane as we get close to the uh the shutdown time uh as we get towards the finals we're going to roll in the the new Mercedes uh SL 300 that the winner gets on top of the Prize Package but we got to do it before noon uh midnight are they or they or they kick us out uh but so I guess we can do some rules we'll do them once maybe in the in the quarters and then by then if you if you don't know you know ask chat they'll tell you yep taxi uh I don't know there's a couple there's a couple different ways to play it right yeah very straightforward you got your passengers in the middle of the yo there's Chris if you guys did yeah Chris was a passenger that was Christian the number one Z right here are our five passengers that the taxi driver has to pick up and they are all over the Playfield here is Dracula there is Santa Claus there's gorby and this is America Maryland yeah not snowball yeah not Lola there's Maryland and off of the corner is pin box yes collect all five passengers and light them all up and you light the jackpot which is a standard value it doesn't change so that's a good standard way to play it but there's certainly many other ways to get points in this game all right so now another way we have the orbit crossovers here I like to call them the uh Joshua Joshua Henderson right the airport Lane that's uh back when he was in juniors uh we had taxi at Papa uh he he would just do million airports non-stop just left left ramp right ramp left ramp right lamp all right with the million airports referring to is when you shoot one ramp the other one will light as sort of like a combo fashion there that will step up these lights here in the middle 20 40 60 80 100 and then light the million shot which is Santa's million you know what everyone in chat wins a free uh I.E pinball pin if we see a million point shot from the airport because it's so smooth I'm saying it's it's I don't think anyone but no one's going to try it yeah no one's going to try it so the other Nuance here is that every thanks Chris he looks like he's ready to play yeah after after you uh collect a passenger you're gonna light this lock and get into a two Ball multiball but more importantly you get a skill shot all right you get another skill shot here so ball one it's a 1x skill shot ball two it's a 2X skill shot in on ball three everything is ball everything is 3x skill shots up to a hundred thousand times three which is non-trivial I see most not most full plunges will end at the 75 occasionally you'll be 100. uh I haven't seen it I haven't seen many leak over into one thousand right sometimes you see uh and also if you plunge 25 000 it'll spot your passenger so if you're hunting for that jackpot that's the play to go especially if it's this guy yeah it's really tough all right so there you go Chris begins and we're off is it already is in the back part of town Zach is he gonna survive that how's the tilt on this she played it oh my goodness it is it's there you can't do a lot with it I was in a good move then he didn't wow all right so the lock starts lit oh nice little chill okay nice little chill get her back he wants to get in here for this lock and to get another skill shot and another passenger snow did you try any uh High sticks I I know my place I did not I did not I the uh combo deal like if you're buying tickets is a great is a great way to get in there test uh test it out just play a ticket and see see what you think um but no I I kidding around it's uh Thai steaks man and I uh not this year so he's in his two ball and you uh there's a 300 000 Point award here if you can lock no we won't see it now you lock the balls in number one and number two there that where uh Steve was showing you boy he plays quick yeah he does have two passengers remaining now Santa and gorby to like the jacket and he's got another place absolutely and in multiball you can still collect that jackpot and and most people like to do it and it's a little safer all right so let's see if he can pick up these two remaining passengers whoa I don't like that drop what a great save off the corner of the uh the left ramp will release oh nice nice and he's on double danger here too so you've got to be careful all right here comes the release on the left ramp no way early way at the Northwest pinball championships we've seen Chris Chen tilt away a uh Lost In the Zone oh so uh he's not uh he's not afraid to he's not shy no he gets his money's worth all right he's not trying the ollie Miko he's just sort of going on the fly but uh still needs those two passengers right Santa from the front two oh that was a nice save there I use one ball that bounces to the other one exactly yes okay okay let's go over Gorbachev Get It wrestling wrestling points his points yeah so take Santa here right you got to realize you're there yeah it's gonna it's gonna come back at you pretty pretty swiftly yeah he's trying to gauge Santa here I mean Santa's got a big bag of gifts there gorby all he has is like failed communism and the liver spot oh that too yeah all right so here's Santa for real now there he is now this cup this kickback is gonna be nice and strong all right that was nice I hear that doesn't do that every time though no [Laughter] oh he might he might win Chad a big Oh I thought he was going to start doing some airports I love his pace of play he's on the last one too all right you got the hundred and all right so if you can release this there's a there's also oh I was about to mention the uh Carey passenger Target that he might talk himself into to save his progress but he's gonna have to start over next fall but great start yeah 1.2 yeah starting bold all right Jared is up now to get the same process he's you know he's we've got we've got gorby ready was our first because our first the passenger and actually finbot also you know he doesn't look very active but yeah pinball is also act there he is now Barry's lit up now there was a ball locked in the chamber there so Jared can take this with one ramp shot nope just get that rap shot and we'll start multiball good tip over to defend against that what what's happening with the ball in The Flipper there it's getting a little loose and that ain't gonna make it that's not gonna count you got good bounce over that's nice all right here it is and we made it okay so now let's see I can deal with the expressway no so you have to pick someone up yep gory so now when you pick Corey up he now has his lock lit again there it is very efficient it's just some good oh he could go oh so you're saying it never it never wraps around we see when Chris got the hundred he had to really do it yeah I saw it Wrap around one time I like to power plunge it to see if you can get it around but uh that's interesting we played this usually he could get a nicer nicer return from that rough and of course Jared made it all the way to the final eight in uh in the main so he's gonna have a little more fatigue than some of these players who've been just sitting around watching all afternoon his eyes are flickering is that in a good way or I don't know my entire flickering just indoor lighting I think because serenade LEDs you know trying to focus trying to stay present I'm projecting all right here comes Jim that Taxi Driver Jim is here yeah and again just one left ramp shot we'll take out that ball that was conveniently locked by Jared and we'll start his multiball let's see if he goes with any power plunge or anything to deal with the skill shot or just takes the 75. you know here comes the 75. I mean this is basically the only tournament Jim's been working non-stop for the last 175 hours at least if not longer prepping all the games fixing all the games making rulings yeah um so and uh he won this last year did he not I should remember because we were I think we're all in the booth again last year uh uh not last year last time yeah the four times uh Jim I know he's just itching to play I know Bob uh was was really sad that he didn't get to uh in Classics oh sure yeah it is great to see Jim awake totally nice too oh it's express lane that's the first there's the first uh goal of the express lane you gotta get in one and then two whoa what a save oh I didn't save that all right back to it so now you'll take your drag easy fix somebody oh yeah a little early it's too dangerous all right take gorby from here or do you post pass to take your jack let me take a gold shot right yeah you gotta shoot him sometimes yeah all right let's see the kick out oh that was better every time that was perfect better yeah I'm waiting to see one of these bad ones you claim it's gonna happen when I was earlier that was a nice little chill there earlier when I was qualified you got to know you got to be real comfortable on the game for that sort of uh dead bounce as Jim I'm sure is well and these are these are non-standard rubbers we're looking at gray rubbers yeah we're who makes those I did not play this uh so I what there's got to be a silicone rubber [Laughter] all right so let's see uh so he goes he likes to park the first one on the ramp which is uh a modified uh Ollie Miko he's got the first one I need the second one back in drag for 300 000. oh on the Fly nice shot all right nice shot from the old man all right so now both both ramps score a hundred thousand and he can still pick up passengers just like is he just like normal oh my goodness Santa and Marilyn oh look at this clip that that's classic gym no Zito right there all right oh that's the jackpot needs that ball out of the way for the feed oh I've hit the other one it's a pretty good it's not super long he'll get it oh he'll get it there it is there it is yeah he could he could postpass right now to have another shot keyed up but uh it's gonna timeout now he's got to rehab he has to get married again yeah oh that's fine he can still do it here it is all careful with that oh he's on any on double danger yeah jeez he's a double DJ he's got a complete the center drop tiger Bank just go for it Jim just do it boom two two in one don't have to worry about any more gray hair coming in I think it's all he's committed he is he's all in on that as well okay one more to go and those job targets at times yeah so that's uh oh for two on the jackpot two out of three players had a had a good shot at it and he honestly he made a good shot just didn't stick Chad has mentioned that um they can't really hear any of the audio from the game and I don't know if that's by Design but Carl is currently away I don't believe that the wireless rig uh produces audio at least I've never we could hear it on these games yeah that wasn't through the the main the main audio the background mics or whatever I don't know I'm not sure we'll ask the master when he comes back exactly so if we can if we can get that for you you're gonna try I can tell you you're not missing much uh on Taxi it's not bad yeah stranded okay you you okay yeah all right here's a question for either you guys or Chad right two of the characters are fictional two are based on real people and what about pinbot what is that is that fictional or it's fictional it's fictional based upon the game yeah yeah okay but not really in the same way as the exact same universe yeah it's in the same pinball Universe I guess so can you think of any other we can certainly think of a game where there's a Dracula and we can think of another game where is Marilyn Monroe like ripped off by one of those uh one of those games where they rebranded yeah like taxi her name's Lola yeah rough start for Zach there speaking of that though so we've got a Maryland taxi and then we have potentially a prototype Dirty Harry with that drop Target that's right so how many of the do we know how many were Maryland's and then got changed to Lola's I I don't surely the uh Shirley and Chad will tell us oh someone will for sure like Chris seems happy I'm just gonna go out and say it I mean his mask is on so he maybe he's really upset but I'm thinking that there's a big big old smile under there he's he's certainly maximizing his camera time he's been doing that all weekend because he's got his lock lit there oh no oh that's such a we how many times you've seen that in your opinion yeah we're just a lot this is the way every every feet every exit you're just wondering whether something like that would happen it feels like it's going in and it just doesn't right no matter what you do to shake it's probably not gonna you know you'll either shake it the wrong way or all right we're getting we're getting some taxi sounds yeah yeah he's on it careful what you wish for Carl's back oh did he need to do that um well maybe it was off the tip so it worked all right this is 2X oh it just stopped it was there and then it just I think there's something in the cup like it's worn down or something because the ball doesn't continue to roll smoothly there's uh there's penbot looking for a ride I wonder where he's going whoa just barely made it hopefully like a Furry Convention or something it's just a tuft of hair [Music] do uh either of you know anything about the uh fighting uh the the other part of the festival that we're a participant of uh have you peeked in at all a lot of televisions and Anime and yeah paraphernalia and stuff like that I saw lots of lots of fandoms I didn't recognize in any in any way but I'm an old you know what do I know I saw a guy in a really tight yellow yeah what was that I don't I thought he had a cheese head but I don't think it was a Jesus okay that was a little fatigue from uh Jared you always feel bad when you let the ball go and it actually hits one of your flippers and then not the flipper that you thought it would it was just a little misread on his part so uh back to the gym gym is ready and while he was gone he fixed three games yeah and packed up half of Classics yep that's all Jay Collins already starting to back up they got to be out of here by midnight tomorrow as their uh it's unbelievable how much stuff is in here that they card is it's unbelievable how much stuff that they have accumulated over time like just all of Carl's screaming equipment and how many monitors he has oh yeah it's you really cannot I mean he owns like seven laptops these displays are probably 12 15 iPads or tablets uh the TVs I mean we're like 20 and I'm pretty sure none of them are free so okay yeah you guys are enjoying the stream like And subscribe please donate bits Subs that's uh you couldn't give it to a nicer guy and he's given so much back and given us this wonderful pinball I didn't like that bounce at all but he trusted it yeah I mean it was that's really that dead bounce was not oh I mean it was it was like no year it was like there okay it was I like those dead bounces where your brain makes you flip the other flipper yeah even though it doesn't then you just feel foolish that was okay now I'm getting a better type of output there with that bounce there boy he is he's probably hit that ramp he's so clean on it I'm surprised nobody's doing the ollie Miko which is the first ball come around you you lane pass over to a catch while the second one then gets caught on the left they're all trying to sort of hit it but you know they played the game a few times so it must know something that I don't one and all early and that's how quick the timer is for this nice nice all that awesome music doesn't help these it just gives you a clue to the timer but that's really good [Music] do we have any info on the other groups as that snow has some weird thing on her phone where she gets all the score bit info like raw as it's happening oh yeah yeah it's uh the scorpit app and uh can anybody go there or yeah anyone can go there and I recommend that you download the scorebit app um and then you can go to the location go to indus 2022 you're gonna see all of the games that have scorebit installed you will not find Aztec which is in the uh in the high stakes Bank of course but you will see uh other game oh we don't have taxi but we do have we've got Viking which is going to be in the game or in the bank here uh and no Robo Wars taking a look here uh they do have Pinball Magic [Music] they do have Tron so they have they have most of them except for uh Robo War taxi and uh Aztecs yeah so you can look on see scoring in progress no matter what's happening on the screen absolutely that's the advantage of Scorpion yeah and uh Carl's bracket and never drains we'll tell you uh where your favorite player is and what position they are all right so now let's see this left a wrap shot from Jim clean thank you for the bits walrus really truly we appreciate it Frisco thank you for the bits Chris the Pinter and thank you Joshua Franklin oh my God entropy 10 gifts Subs scoring oh my we got hype train people Maverick I don't know what that means but I hope it helps which means more goodness for us than our lovely Community yes kiwi thank you if you have if you happen to be joining in just at the from from nowhere or you haven't seen what's going on we are at indisc 2022 here this is our final Tournament of the weekend uh next to me I have uh Steven Bowden hello and then next to him we have snow Galvin that's right and I'm Adam levkoff and we are watching the uh quarterfinals of the high stakes tournament so unlike the main tournament which was a ifpa sanctioned World Championship with Zach McCarthy from Conifer uh Colorado who won it his first time this is all just about the money and the uh The Bling six thousand eight hundred dollars 6800 for first yeah and then 4200 and a new Mercedes yeah right don't forget that yeah major hype train coming in thank you so much for all the support um great use we are benefiting from it right now you guys are all amazing it's uh you know I don't know often say this but by far it's best chat it's the best chat on Twitch is the uh die pinball absolutely most knowledgeable generous and enthusiastic all right we actually got Marilyn okay really early for that [Music] only 50. it's like you might as well get 25 and pick a passenger he's trying to get that uh hold passenger Target but it's really hard to hit you can't make it it's just luck no we're not ready I think that's the same role that Jared missed Zach sharp after a two uh a two-year Hiatus of being completely uh in quarantine he's uh looking like he's getting his uh getting his sea legs back Jim is just so smooth on that left ramp like just perfect and uh Zach struggling a little bit here looks like it's good that was horrible he needs to oh yeah a couple of those rejects now where it comes right yeah yeah like it hit out like it went up and hit off a little extra curriculum yeah like just enough of that that's just ah it's snake bit like what are you gonna do yeah um Rams got a sweet spot for sure like to get it get it all the way up and around there we go there it is yeah it's 300 Dodge you really want to get those locks on uh ball three because you get such good value from the plunge [Music] all right here comes an important shot oh yes didn't tilt is he gonna get control backhand flick no try again or learn your lesson do a do a proper post transfer oh should I find some space in here there it is express lane 300 000. very very big oh he's going all right corby's ready to be picked up I counted hey they can't see us we all in the booth did a little hop all right we got Dracula next whoa so advantages you're working towards your jackpot disadvantage is you're taking away opportunities to light your lock for 300 000 uh plunges right so I don't know if you get your jackpot it makes sense but you're using all your easy passengers she's doing it oh wow that was not down down it was there was not room for two balls on the Playfield at that point [Music] picking up drag license lock again all right I want to just Santa and uh oh a little early all right yeah all right let's come on Chris make this shot buddy there you go this plunge is gonna take him to the lead [Music] left 75 on the table oh don't leave because of that oh no oh okay all right release first try no no no look out nice patience I think he's seen that one before because he was yes such a common reversal of Fortune machine it's important to learn there it is all right what are you doing here you alley pass uh Lane past that right to a cradle yeah yeah I don't know why foreign back way back in in I think it was I think it was in Discord he showed us that maybe he's nervous it's not gonna make it I don't know or that he's yeah now or uncomfortable or I don't know a lot of people until they've seen it um you can see it on pinball videos I think oh no let's just immediately get kicked out all right come on you're getting close to the to the prize here Santa needs a lift [Music] Here Comes Santa nope there it goes Santa nice little click off close to Maryland yeah she's asking all right well you got your lock that's you know oh [Music] that's a good one that was definitely a good one we have luck and Santa oh boy it's a tough like you're trying to win jackpot I I retract the boom Oh okay here we go here we go oh my gosh yeah yes oh I got a note surely that will make the top 10 whatever the video video of the monster that was a great sequence Oh I thought for sure the third one was here yeah nope oh he's out oh well done Chris that was by far the most entertaining 45 seconds of pinball we've seen in a while that was so brutal oh my God I think he hit it too well each time like it was so smooth and had too much momentum all right so this is Jared's potential 300 000 funds no that's stopping now he thought you gotta plunge smoother he's not he's just sort of is there a play did you play in this Adam I didn't okay um but you did Steve yeah um does the does like the shooter Rod like move up and down it's got wiggle room like it's not hitting the ball Square certainly looks that way yeah okay which is why you really want to do a smooth one all right I wasn't sure if it was the spring or what you know yeah well that's us that was a strange read off the tip and all right here we go nice little flutter oh a little late fatigue oh nice nice Oscar Meyer oh right here there it is thank you that's the ollie that's that was like a half Ollie I understand why people aren't doing it now well it usually has a better outcome yeah [Music] all right if the ball wow yeah we might have a look at at the express lane it just doesn't want to there we go there it is and Andy he picked up that boy that was cool that's like the taxi didn't even stop it just sort of slowed down a little bit Jared does not waste time I'd like to see uh who actually goes faster Jared or uh or Christian because they're both extremely they don't sit around think about much they're they just want to do it oh that was tough oh carry passengers though oh I thought it's ball three so oh okay that's an ironic collect well yeah he'll get a little more bonus if he doesn't too I think I think clearly this taxi has a uh earplug in it because this error game if you got too dangers it would swing for the next five minutes and Jim's pretty good about putting ear plugs in his games another play for 300 . he's leaving a lot of points on the board there right that's uh 225 000 he's left in plunges this fall but uh you know gorby is also he's gonna wait oh no oh there it is he's gotten the worst rejects yeah Chris had was able to get some Flipper on it but uh Jared's rejects for it that one worked his way straight down you could almost talk me into just playing the jackpot in single ball there right post pass right it might as well yeah but again the shot is smooth when you make it yeah it's so enticing to have two balls to get that jackpot all right so meanwhile we have another 300 000 Punch coming up for Jim Jim needs two basically two at least two of them two of them to pass uh Chris so he's gonna need to unlock this ball and then basically express lane and it passes Chris in a way I think he'd rather not have a ball in there like I think he wanted to put it yeah he wants to lock it that kind of takes one of his outs away all right he left 75 there so he's gonna need a little bit more than another one so let's see if we Jake some so far Jim has been absolute money on it see how that was kind of a slow roller to sit not a it's hard to harder do you see him give a good nudge at the start of that yeah just to get the tip on Old School nuts yeah it's going I guess that's no way he misses us there's just absolutely no way no you're right he cried he tried to block the uh the exiting ball so he's uh he really just needs a one two here to take the lead again the ironic carry passenger tag everybody's getting it on ball three he needs a passenger and he'll need to that is a 225 down yeah so just a lock here okay just make the lock boom gotta survive he has no multiplies I think he's gonna bounce okay he's a smooth feed you know oh really surprising a little bit of nerves here yeah oh okay now this time no rest right there there it is um 340 down so it's not gonna be this place if I get the hundred no yeah yeah oh it's gonna be close so he has bonus now with 2x yeah he has the coverage okay he's good yeah he's good okay goes fast and oh on the plot all right so he's taking the lead now a little momentum I think is helping out there oh the ball didn't die there it is I know there it is oh did not settle in there how did it not how did it not settle in there oh no it was good here he's good he's good all right dude's getting a little loose around here now come on we gotta have one jackpot in this game right oh I don't like the way that one went at all nice balance message over there yeah so seeing all of those rejects would you would you start just doing the ramps would you start trying to jackpots it is it was right there three times for Chris I've seen Jim hit the same shot a hundred times and if it misses the first 99 he'll continue to hit it until he dies or gets it so you think he's gonna get the jackpot that was a nice oh tip oh it's funny typically he would have saved that just fine but he really wanted it so what was his bonus what did he have uh there's not much bonus in this game you Max at 495 plus oh Carl's packing his back he might be leaving good luck everyone we just did the math based upon the time of this first game he realizes that we're here until 3 45 A.M they're gonna have to take money from the pool to pay for the overtime uh our Classics two winner as your left cough got a 1.8 billion uh uh Pinball Magic score to start the tournaments that would have been nice to see on stream I have no idea how the super mode works or what you do there the path on the way to it yeah oh you got to do 21 tricks to get there all right Zach no love so uh Jim picks up where he left off the in the before times yeah so uh group two they haven't entered the scores yet but with group three that's Raymond Davidson Robert Byers Ryan Spindler and Johnny Modica uh Raymond's got four points Ryan's got two Robert's got one Johnny with zero and uh group four Colin Urban four point Zach McCarthy two points Andrew Foster one point Jordan deshane zero points and waiting for the rest to come in Raymond Davidson ABC great showing from Ray today made it another major final four uh had a chance as did Kaylee and as did Colin Urban who's made the final four of indisk uh four years in a row now which is just phenomenal when you think about all the competition we have here we missed some of our European friends but we got uh Arvid uh for the air and his dad from uh Sweden and Arvid did quite well he made it to the round of 16 and uh qualified in both Classics I believe I know he tried in high stakes I'm not sure if he's in that last group or is Arvid uh in the no he didn't make it nope he did not make it Mega bumped by Jared all right oh geez that's a real bummer that is a bummer it's interesting Arvid uh wonderful player from Sweden he's only 13 but he looks like I bet he could get into bars and stuff he looks like a full-grown man to me and uh so he'll be uh he'll be someone to watch as well with all these all these kids to make you feel old Stephen ah not yet oh God good it makes me feel open I'll be old for both both of us you know what I watched Arvid do earlier today yeah he was on Turtles all right yeah and this convention center has carpet okay and all the games are in rubber cups he slid the machine like eight inches how how I don't know stayed in all the feet and I'm like and no tilt I'm just I was in awe and I I meant to um talk to him and have him teach me that's whatever that was so like you think he bent the leg he didn't pick it up and slide it the turtles was did he tilt though because that Turtles is super it was they adjusted the Tilt it was um before they started finals today so um because yeah it was it that was it you were allowed to play through here the pain yeah I had a few of those that Batman was um scary yeah that Batman was really scary you could really miss me I mean it's not even the missing is that it falls down from the bumpers on the left yeah into no man's yeah what's gonna happen and the close slings were perfectly tuned to those outlanes and had no rubber on them oh my God you're and it was tilty too so you're at the mercy of the game and yet you did have the number one score Adam what was that 280 oh no it was only like 220 but yeah it all came together for me all right welcome to Tron it's already Legacy and we're already oh we're already three balls in the ball it's got to be some sort of this is warm up then okay but why why would they have warm-up because this was did we have warm-up on the maybe because we're playing for the Mercedes maybe something changed something had to have yeah they're all pounding it around maybe they tighten the Tilt it seems like they loosed it or maybe because you know what it was playing so easy they might have uh pulled some physical things off it for sure that would make sense yeah now with the power cycle and then we're doing it for real no all right connecting score of it score that connection complete scoreboard's been doing some really really fancy stuff too like they're the the square bit guys were showing me um some of the um custom interface that you can do you can uh like like put your own text up on the screen and uh they they've really they've really done some neat stuff and have some uh really advanced stuff in the works that I think a lot of consumers like home users streamers and operators are going to be pretty interested in so if you if you don't know uh definitely go check it out I think it's scorebit.io or something that sounds right I'm sure the uh the internet would tell you if you uh if you did a little Google yeah if you did a little DuckDuckGo on uh oh look it's special oh look at it let's see it let's see it let's see it yes super into the line wonderful job there what's really cool is you can keep doing that same pattern over and over and over and it just keeps building all right so now he's got oh man hold him already right wow look at this combo it's gonna connect another End of Line no take the locked in from oh yeah he's two million that was again PPM is he's definitely on team PPM because he does not waste time nice opening combo and it's probably not intentional like a lot of times you go for the scoop you go early literally oh okay yeah this is like uh doing a little juggling there all right all right let's get started let's see what the uh that's not a bad kick out little dead bounce left to right all right little end of line here as he works his core a little dead bounce oh this this kick out's much friendlier than it was before no uh oh I don't like that no he's okay Cora always going trying to get his light cycle lit first one play safe he's got one point so with four two one zero that uh that two point gap is I fully expect everybody in this group to uh to do about 60 billion or above and uh 4C assimilations maybe one point right everybody gets to see a revelation everybody does it of course the outline seem pretty wide open so maybe I retract that and yeah instead I mean that is what changed if somebody can play a uh quora yeah is there anything here protecting that is the post there okay that is I don't think there's any rubber there's a rubber there I think yeah I see something there how about the inlands uh yeah there's a little something there yeah it looks like it's Indian Lanes no there's no no I don't see anything on that in Lane we've seen everything go left outline at the moment so so I know we had it way back in the day we had a uh this game was in a tournament where they were worried about the play time so they took the post out and uh it became silly house all the games were like three million to 2 million and even even a single short plunge you could die easily to the outline without a ball save so when the players would prefer Star Wars wow all right let's see what Jim can do with this uh new game he's more of an old school fella like the taxi era yep oh he that was a little hot came out a little hard came out a little hot on the Fly he hendersoned that out of the scoop all right bounce that all right that's that's a friendlier but he didn't get it to a trap why is Corey easier to hit on when it's moving look you hit up against that oh geez we hit up against that wall on the ball in the in the wall forgive this year from a cradle it was like the wall forgiveness here will give you that yeah and then like from a crater you're like okay I can hit it directly in here but like you there's a partner there's a point on the flipper you get when it's moving that it's not available to you from the cradle yeah yeah like the point that hits right on that wall oh oh no there's a cursor on the Playfield we better stop playing sir no telestrator go go away I like I like this Insight from from chat somebody's wagering that Jim's got parts for this game in his pocket yeah correct anything missing is now jingling in Jim's pocket that's a wonderful observation all right so that's a good one I don't know what Jim was doing wrong to not get that kick out boy those oh that was that was breakfast come over to the flipper dangerous Exit Dangerous exit all right get another core while you're here a little into line up oh that's uh that wasn't fatigue that was rust that's uh that's the covid rust there from Zach he hasn't played any pinball in two years yeah I didn't didn't do his own backyard at Expo no you know he's got his young his young kid or I don't know how old Benson is now he's probably like in Middle School but uh age fast didn't want to risk the covet at all and so they've been sort of hermited away and uh it's good to see both the sharps here it's been a while yeah I know uh quite a few Canadians wanted to make it but I had to pull out at the right because just getting across the border it's a little tricky we had miles Grant come visit Esther for a week recently uh from up in uh whatever in the Pacific Northwest side of Canada it's called DC yeah that cycle did not even start to run no he's definitely got to check the spark plug for sure or maybe the ignition could be bad old petrol will do that too uh uh skill set goes into the light cycle too hard yeah all right let's see if he can make some all right you're working you still want to work your quora so uh Steve snow do you stack them or do you crisscross them with uh Cora and at this point no I would just go for it yeah we're going there's no uh ATA ball and light cycle but Torah of course has two addaballs well technically three if you're in light cycle at the time so now I'd probably start working on my Accord now you can see now who can bring a second light cycle into core rather than vice versa there you go all right and he's got it lit maybe uh is it gonna survive it's only about two I don't like this Jam that's lovely okay good job keep doing your in the lines though because you're in the line value locks in during multiball it would be kind of interesting if you could progress in the line during multiball but of course that'd be like progressing your multiplier on Zeppelin and multiball that was a bad idea all right that's uh tour is already done one more it's fine I like to get those out of balls out of the way like you there's a great grace period on them but you feel really stupid if you don't use them tell me that the uh the gem shot on this is super makeable it's like a Grand Canyon of gems yeah just keep that one off the end shoot off the end it'll go through still trying to follow Joe I think I think he just wants to complete it now yeah just just get one shot so you can get it done so let's see a simulation you can you can get a lot of points on that start all right nice cycle multiple so he can see what he can take over there yeah oh he went for the uh through the Pops I don't think I have Flynn done I know how is that a thing is this like the Monster Bash when you're in yeah Rock before bass yeah well there's that too but the uh mode timers like does and everything stops yeah yeah oh no that was another man they gotta all get their Cycles yeah really getting fatigued so he's going for C now how many he's got five left that should be five hits four hits oh yeah didn't get his Jam oh uh what was that that was some pictures from Carl's recent uh holiday yep very tiny family up to the mountains uh they can't see any of that when I do that oh really that's all yes they think we're like drinking here or you know been playing pinball yeah you kind of are you know after 12 hours all right meanwhile Jared's 25 million this is looking really good and also excellent PPM again like that was that was easily more than 5 million yeah a minute like uh all right let's see what Jim's he's he's got one shot for light cycle and no progress on cora left left right left now flip start with a nice little 500 in the line oh he's going for the double in the line got his light cycle all right so we're ready to go all right so he needs to make some some core progress yeah well well the balls didn't want to give me any play time I don't know why he didn't do that the first time he was messing around that's a weird one he uh he's not great at State he didn't stage there correctly oh so that didn't do anything for him I mean I got him do some end of lines here he still got oh he got the double Super Jackpot all in the greatest period oh my goodness thank you Lyman wow rest in peace foreign that was some serious uh that was like attack from Mars hitting those jackpots and then the super 2.3 million yes sir all right suddenly you reached this point where it makes more sense to just continue to do and the lines than anything else absolutely Cora will come anyway second it can get huge you can it's a great value maybe I haven't had uh was it a nine something because it was doubled yeah yeah I was gonna say keep an eye on the double scoring he's he's got two letters away and it's lit oh wow that was brutal brutal out of the box even heard the audible from Jimmy [Laughter] I love to ask Jim about the mask he's wearing it uh I wonder if like maybe his daughters made it for him or it's got a uh what's that what's the pattern on that fabric I don't know it's a crap it's homemade crafty uh looks you know it looks like a sunshine maybe or spring in the cheer yeah all right Josh uh Josh and Zach trying to uh plunge his light cycle first pass and then hit it oh [Music] might as well get it in the line there while you're at it there we go that actually worked out better for him yeah all right so tell us illustrator is uh not working so we can't show the Super Jackpot shots I think we're back no no no no no clear but anyway you see the life cycle of rfr flashing so if you can hit certain combinations of them we'll produce the jackpot I'll tell you though whatever they did to this game it's playing a lot harder than it did during qualifying based on scores oh lovely thank you all right foreign that's very similar to his brother the leg Yeah I'm sure they you know Roger their father was the first to use the leg kick because uh it's clearly some sort of genetic it's it's their gyroscope yes it is right or their tail like a dog's tail for balance telestrate us something Steve okay all right Corey what are you trying to do you got two shots you got this is your jackpot yeah build shot this is your jackpot collect shot gem all right also you have edible which all right three hits to the shield um depends on how much you want to save and to hold off on your edible I mean I don't have to spend them too early but I like to get them done I hate I hate thinking about them late but core is not complete until you hit this that's the Super Jackpot shot and the thing I like about of course the gem shot also is awarding you uh a non you know pretty relevant bonus multiplier right there's this animal there we go there's one and uh where's his light cycle he's uh got one shot left on light cycle left orbit so he wants to do it up and over he staged the left he's gonna start light he's gonna light his light cycle here pop it up and get it that's all right he's going to get back to multiball in a moment anyway oh though but he can still be build that we're still five now he can yeah so now you get it back now he can get back to Cora oh there's a good end of the line there it is End of Line 2.5 2.4 plus the double super oh oh he found another does he get that back or not nope all right now he has to hit every shot to get his next light cycle extra balls it's unlucky that he's not double scoring he's not running right now he's running yeah this is one of the few games where you would legitimately think about draining with double with the double bonus on running yes because it counts the bonus itself is doubled which is an interesting decision from the software designers he'll take it all right and the line here okay any on double danger too still early slide moves way back at the start of this ball man this is some great great digging from contact trading on on that course and Zach had zero points in game one too so he's trying to flip this thing around give everybody a chance for game three now when now when do you when do you start look looking at taking five shots of that dish uh what are we ball to yeah definitely right yeah right because you want to get something set up just in case but without Jim he hasn't even started Jim all right so I mean C's not really I I think his uh with his uh in the lines right now being up over two oh nice good read I think he's just doing in the lines here Kelly drains I'd keep an eye on my uh look he has one letter to go for his next like double scoring slip like he should go for double scoring now and then do it well all right nice ball great great time for the way this thing plays it gets a bit of a golf course clap from the peanut gallery peanuts all right Chris now how far are you away from Cora uh probably feel like he already played acorah a little bit of jail that won't bother Chris nothing seems to bother Chris honestly replay value 78 million yeah yeah well and that was before the changes you think the uh but still like I think the formula is a little wonky the you know not we don't want to give free games away anymore so we're gonna you know double or logarithmically increase the replay yeah yeah all right oh he's just uh he's just going on the Fly boom all right there's one wow Joshua Henderson out of the scoop bird combo in the core there first missed shot there it is core three more so now we have two more yeah give it to him okay whoa wake up wake up everybody nope this is game two so uh you want to avoid the zero for sure every plate matters ball three and Zach and the lead here took zero in game one so he could use that four yeah core is lit Big Shot Big Shot don't be too early okay well played all right so now let's use this to find the life cycles yep what do we got just uh the two hard ones one easy one yeah well he's got to do something here's the core super oh a little a little late yep another one stage he didn't even bother staging he just did all the put all the balls back in place his atom ball is probably ready yeah he's using that he used the ball safe you got it three he got it oh he and he got the support that was one of the most efficient shots ever right up until that part it did so much though he got the super he got the audibles and he was down to one ball at that point now how close are you to disc that's why we love watching Chris Chen play because that kind of stuff happens every time every time he plays it happens he's famous for a casino run he did once where he kept going back in and kept going back in like he got down to five seconds and he probably went back in three times it was close to like a five billion collect it was the greatest Casino run ever this man is made for high stakes yes excellent yeah that's that's so true so I don't know what at that end up in there okay taking flings he's got flinging the ball at it yeah yeah none of this even though the dead bat the dead bounce is gonna give you a nice oh nice ball good bonus too because he made some chorus ah three all right so Jared uh has to play where is he uh he still has what three or four more shots to the disc because he's got four blinking there at the bottom you know amazing he doesn't have Flint yet how I you know I think this comes naturally for anything that's not a priority you know everybody does the super skill shot first of all yeah although it has he been I feel like he was going for the scoop uh he did once I guess when light cycle or core was lit oh okay yeah you want to show us where the Flynn targets are it's like where's Flynn where is Flynn moving okay Flynn's here three four five all right depends on where it is yes so it'll show you it's moving back and forth like if you could start I think it might be here if you could start C without Flynn then that should be like a 50 million bonus or something yeah he got it by the way uh-huh just as we talked about it is he going for doubler there is he hit he's not hitting uh he's I'm not sure what he's doing he's shooting chorus no he's just he likes the end of the core I guess uh I don't like the holding the tip of the flipper there I guess going in to see he'd have to go in and like complete gym and then deal with Clues so maybe he just wants to start another yeah oh yeah I think multiball's better there's not a lot to see on for him and you got to still survive some disc hits as well so let's see how many core shots he needs is this the last one uh uh oh it actually does it show you now yeah remember forever it never used to show you it was more of an Iron Man situation yeah you should be counting yourself all right six I know we've moved extra ball two and a half two and a half I'll get it two and a half double three I don't know six billion double three million no that was scary oh he shook it back in nice All Right End of Line at 1.6 yep and we have the Cora build and the coral collect Super Jackpot there they are and the edible right here the out of all Targets here [Music] oh and one more oh Lord five four three that's weird that you saw the bank go down just as he got the super yeah all right back at it because then the lines are gonna be good here's a good one here's a good one big shot get it yeah let's do it again it's a 2.4 million tender flying shots just a little only that the wonderful and great no one's seen him forever Neil Schatz when he plays this game that's how he plays it he'll intentionally drain out all his multiballs continually just get that upper feed the lines tried to talk him into coming out to end desk but uh not this year oh simultaneous oh would Paul's presence persuade him at all since we've got a a rare sighting Paul Paul Madison yeah oh oh yeah absolutely that's gonna help her I was like I was like well your husband's name is Paul oh yeah that is confusing I was a little confused I'm like and that would be cool if you're I didn't know your husband knew that in no way would influence Paul Madison uh I hadn't seen him I don't think he's played in a car car tournament since like Papa 13 or Papa 14. back in the day he came out he played in the uh match play on Thursday night uh did quite well uh you played in that Steve uh yeah I've played in that and that was okay until the very end and that is the way though if you lose touch with the top group there's no way to get back you know uh I didn't see how Paul did on qualifying uh I don't think he was in today I don't think he made it but uh he was certainly here trying a bit it was good to see him and reminisce about the old days yeah it looks great all right Jim's got a lot of work still needs cork you needs two bike shots otherwise we're gonna we're gonna turn this group around and be like at four four three three or some such I don't know why he didn't catch that yeah I think he tried he just it just looked a little late yeah he was just a little lazy getting that flipper up in time look boom now up there we go all right he likes the the momentum even when it's not yeah look out oh even Jim's Oscar meyering now wow all right so core is lit he can get right back into it oh magically die down the out lane somebody's got to lose and when you see the first shooting won game one lose you know you're in for a barn burner of game three everybody can win the group everybody can lose the group it's the wild west where if this is the high stakes final Tournament of Indus 2022 I'm Adam levkoff along with Steven Bowden and snow Galvin hello hello welcome to everyone if you're watching this is uh some of the best pinball you're ever going to see I guarantee we will see some more things tonight that you've never seen before and you'll never see again yeah did Walt wood make it into high stakes do we know if he played high stakes here yeah oh that's disappointing if we had another chance to watch you know he was my favorite part of the tournament I I try and describe describe the way he plays and people are like yeah yeah they don't believe it well it's like pinball boxing is what it is I really think he should put together a an exercise video Yeah new craze yeah and he's really uh he's toned it down too I know that's the funny part like he used to be a lot worse he would move a lot more side to side yeah and have like a 10-foot Runway you know like talk to the game and back and there's a whole thing there there is the well this is uh usually Zack's a little more controls but he's never really had an opportunity to trap up I'm pretty sure there's a hold on these slippers right like that was this looks like that that kind of looked like yeah sure actually there's not enough sleep all right so is that got it yes he did four so we have completely turned us around Jim takes last so he's at four we got two fours and uh keeping it exciting yeah so three three four four three three the uh the chances of there being a tiebreaker for the second position is uh there are there are six different ways uh Chris oh Chris Christian is driving the bus and this the chat can choose the game right now he will absolutely choose the game that you decide we will take the fourth the fourth uh the fourth person to mention a game from the high stakes bank and Chris will pick it this is interactive pinball and if he wins he will drive his new Mercedes to your house and play Pinball with you if this is quite a deal so what do we got snow who won or what's the game okay let's see um oh my gosh they are uh well they're drunk driving let's see they are picking from the wrong Bank okay so one person said Demoman next person said Demoman then Robo War then Argosy wrong Bank okay and then it's Demo Man Demo Man fourth person to correctly guess a game from the correct but Chris has left so I don't know if he's gonna follow through on this they want Demo Man I mean there's only like five games you would be surprised how many are not included someone said GNR which is not even in the building there was one at AC guy so we could all drive down okay it's only about an hour uh uh Demoman is the Jo is the consensus in chat yeah I'm gonna have to wait to the next round he said so what'd you pick Aztec all right someone said oztek so someone is gonna be happy all right if you make Drew he'll pick Demoman next so all right so yeah I guess nothing nothing's really free and I'll have to explain after the tournament about to Chris chin about promises no just the advantages of driving the bus and that it's best not to let the you know the collective mind choose that the whole he's a high stakes player man clearly clearly and he's got places to go hey here we are hello Internet how you doing see if you can guess oh there's Chris yeah [Music] I don't know who that tall fell about hunt next to him this is the Aztec yeah that's where we can see it we've been uh I don't know Carl are we up to hour 12 yet today close to it close okay only 11 hours is there anybody in chat who has been on the stream uninterrupted the whole time I think some may have joined four days ago and we had a we had a rate of like a thousand people uh during the classics two finals last night oh fantastic yup yup several uh Aztec okay this is gonna take a couple hours to explain all the rules all right we're gonna we're not even gonna talk about the theme let's just move along yep we uh you want to light the spinner well how do you like the spinner Stephen okay so where where uh where is the you gotta get it down there yeah here it is okay all right so this why is that all right this lights this yeah that's it that's all you need to know now there there are I mean this will happen the light double bonus but okay get in the middle which is done all right part one just gotta live live he had a little warm-up flip as it was coming down he missed this opportunity I'm not a big fan of the of the people who like the timing pre-flip myself I think it takes away the window of opportunity there the pinball gods are never happy when they give you a gift like an inline on Aztec with a spinner and you don't and you don't consummate so that's a demerit from the pinball Gods to Christian Jared uh short plunge tried to bounce it in all right so he's over one on that so of course he gets it on the flipper now you can park it in this little uh horseshoe area and you get uh bonus bait there he's got a spinner let's see if he gets it I want to see how Juiced this spinner is let it dead bounce oh come on Jared dead bounce there he can't he's trying to do all his fancy modern tricks all right here we go all right you can't see his car though 50 70 80 90. so yeah 100 100 000 per for a good rip all right so he had yeah that started it started about 40 or so for 350. so yeah maybe at least 50 yeah there all right let's see how he's gonna transfer the the alley pass is available uh tap oh there's a good one two three four five thousand he's nearly got your bonus Max is at 50 here there's a double bonus opportunity oh no game nice no gate but boy couple good spinner rips there the points will be updated shortly our producer has stepped away for a moment he's trying to uh he's trying to give us a better uh view of the scoring Wheels he's trying to do it all kind of guy Carl is he's a perfectionist but in a good way we've got a Christian with three points Zach sharp Four Points four points for Jim belsito and three for Jared August yep and second place most likely gets second unless one of the fours gets third and then we're a tiebreaker at five most common tiebreaker in the pop-up format all right let's see if Jim gets some spinach and to answer your question I read his mask it says Scooby-Doo oh original or I don't know it's like off in the corner oh that's cool yeah testing out those slippers there you know he always does three to left one to the right one one two three one two one one one and [Music] one more of right and now plunge and Studio credits [Laughter] roll credits oh no no no yeah all right you still hit the spinner anyway you just don't get as many of these points oh is he going for double bonus or late yeah exactly yeah I agree Jim gives an eye roll and uh I'm too old for this type look and uh yep because Jim is Shaggy from Scooby-Doo that is what I'm hearing in chat and Shaggy didn't have gray hair maybe maybe I'd like to think that he and Scooby like you know they're still alive and they're you know they're always there still solving Mysteries yeah oh no no no no so uh we always oh oh all right there's the the classic uh this error The Flipper will just sort of oh thumbs up oh what do we got again oh we got the uh the get the live the uh it's popped out of the corner yeah okay that old thing so uh so this Tech pass is brought to you by who do we got in our sponsors pinball gloves yes the coin taker yeah we got the captain's uh auction what else we got the pinball what's uh what's Outlaw pinball orange photography Gene X is here yeah we had lunch with him just a while ago some fantastic photos he's the finest photographer I've ever seen his his uh pinball photos are just extraordinary all right so I think we're gonna get some hammering all right let's see what what tool goes back into in the frame with it's like what no not that he uses the back side of a screwdriver uh nut driver yep all right this uh Tech Corner was brought to you yeah for all your uh digital uh audio uh analog to digital conversion check scorebit uh on the internet Bob Matthews tirelessly working also this weekend yes I he kept scoring basically on every single match that happened so just amazing the number of digits he has uh entered has got to be staggering fast voluminous I wonder what number he's he's put in the most I'm gonna guess seven I'm gonna say zero seven oh zero that's easy that's true it is zero that's probably right yeah snow wins too smart for this stream in an hour I might fail all right he's trying to it's always best to close the coin door without uh triggering the uh slam tilt if you've ever td'd for a while you've learned that the hard way yeah all right here we go let's see if Zach goes alley pass here I'd like to see the alley come on Zach Ally buddy yeah but it uh it didn't stick for him but he's got it back all right big big spinner rip for tens of points that's awesome okay now he surely hits it again right I mean he's just hit it perfectly he didn't take into account all the new photons that's the problem with that that's great yes oh he'll take it and double bonus on the bonus so what can we see a score better or what is that 170.7 yeah 172. Jared's at 280. very nice yeah I gotta stand up here and Chris at 90 or 30. Chris is at 30. that's a three this one is a three that's a 30 right yes this one here that is I think it's a nine yeah 94 8 30 maybe where'd you get that vision from snow what's what's that all about well that's why I'm standing up and I get a whole angles on it I think if I stand up again my back will collapse so I'm just gonna sit here until we're done meanwhile because of course means the ball's gonna go down last time too oh he kind of goodness he's gone yeah it's uh he's late at both times but he's yet to have a shot at it he kind of had a half shot there that's sort of a shot yeah he needs to gather the ball a little uh little cleaner next time so Chris and hole Jared who had some great spinner rips is ready to rip away again is it 280 for yes oh oh he could have bounced that over but yeah oh nearly dead and now he's fine all right oh wow okay wow he just missed that is what we call a well-deserved brick Drive it's a classic if I ever lived up in Portland and had my uh Portland gang name I would want it to be brick drained not slap save not bang back but brick drain brick train that would be me how come we don't get chat uh on our screens like we used to is that are we are we not meant to no not on these I guess yeah I could I mean we can watch on our phone but it's just not the same yeah plus I have to keep like touching the screen so my phone doesn't uh turn off maybe when Carl returns I can inquire it's fine I'm just curious how do we know how many people are still watching like I mean this is all fun and great but it's going to take a really long time you got a perfect skill shot there we go there we go Jim good shot Scooby oh a little little bonus oh but it wasn't lit it only works on the lit one dead bounce the lovely boom yes I love that his uh his dead bounce radar is is tuned higher than most what's he gonna do try a post pass alley pass it he's not an alley passer though because it'll get caught up in here yeah no he's going for points oh a modern move on an old game oh jam all right Jim's gonna go to the back of the room and and flail himself five times butter fingers yeah he had it was so nice some of the other moves he made there so to end that way was tragic all right let's see if Zach can get his skill shot down once twice and no no but at least he gets no not even an advanced bonus you'd think it would have advanced bonus but these targets are uh older than me which is pretty old see I like Jim would have dead bounced that without blinking oh my goodness hundreds of points let's see if it lands right nope nope oh that time it worked he got the advanced bonus there we go yes more hundreds of points it only seems he doesn't seem to oh there's another one there we go I'll get it on a flipper oh my goodness oh on unlit and oh and two when it's lit oh my God [Applause] he gets off the snide what's his uh score right 270 or 273 all right a little more 290. oh oh nice nice little insert save there went around the world there my goodness he's used up oh I love it on the flying it there it is oh oh that was exciting great skills he was feeling it 400. that was a good ball he had all that practice when the spinner wasn't lit it finally paid off now did the does this game got uh have a million light it does not but it rolls often yeah I was in a pinberg group once where everybody was over a million so much spinach so much spinach and the pit I think the papa one was had even more dialed spinner too first time he hasn't lit the spinner maybe it's a change of pace so you see if he can get it on the flipper this is not nice nice weight okay make the shot first no no it's been late there we go he'll make it this time yeah there it is I think he could have the oh nice dead bounce there holy time it almost worked that second one could have worked he could have he could have bumped it yeah it's like a modified tap to the dead bounce come on Chris you can do it yeah there we go [Laughter] I'm gonna go out on a Lynn say he's pleased with himself by tapping on uh that might even be the highlight of the weekend for him all right now oh just hold the flipper up it'll go over okay there we go you got a little bit more of it he's really his confidence is booming now that he made the tap all right all right he's got it good had to flip uh-oh careful nice bomb boom Oh way late peace oh gather that yeah all right boom there it is I put it on a plate for him there yeah oh man I'm telling you the pinball Gods when they give you that in lane and you don't consummate that's a demerit and pinball hell I he made up a lot of ground right there though yeah 320. I mean it was like 248 000. he did on that ball so uh we're gonna have uh two more rounds after this to decide the ultimate winner Zach McCarthy is in this tournament as well I believe yeah oh come on I I don't know if he ever dead bounces I killed through the super risky uh come on but he uh he live catches everything sort of the school of Kaylee but like that a simple dead bounce there will get you to the uh money shot a lot quicker but that's how he rolls and we see uh it works for him all right all right so here comes Jim now we can see him in the distance here he comes this is on five ball right I would believe so yeah okay just checking I wouldn't want this uh excitement to end too soon I mean we haven't even got to multi Bowl yeah so right exactly [Music] ball five is going to be very exciting because this is game three you see the dead bounce there that was the missing component to Christians but when you miss that spinner you that was it put yourself in pain yeah Jim's way behind now and Jim is one of the fours that gives the threes hopes there's some chances to get away without a tiebreaker yep it's all about the outs trying to measure that Middle Lane now yeah Jim apparently had it he went right in there yeah there it is there it is oh and a 35 000 for his trouble and a catch and a bounce gosh you think that would have had it yeah that was an easy bounce you'd be amazed how much the ball bounces on these flippers because they give and it's like a trampoline I'm not worried about some of those inserts sometimes yeah like straight up Waverly yeah yeah fair enough it's a reasonable thing to worry about all right penultimate ball all right I'm sure Chris is at 3 20. I'm sure he'd be much happier if his score was 420 but he'll try and get there that was the uh pinball demerit being collected from uh his his forsaken in Lane earlier that's right the karma is real man yeah the pinball Karma those pinball gods are so fickle they really are and they just love a good laugh who doesn't in these troubled times NT hits thank you for all the gift Subs how does that work how did the gift subs work what does that mean well NT hit spends a bunch of money yeah and then other people profit nice and they get to use uh use the oh what a weird name and Jared's one of the he's got the super fast reflexes and even he had no reason wow I would have Jim should be further away but he's not that far away here a couple spinner shots he's right back in it First Step plunge the lane yep let's see if you can do that do that nope first step is to try each of the flippers well it's it's three and then three and then two and then one and then four and then one and then two and then plunge yeah and then you get balrog Gary that's right oh somebody's clapping about something about taxi oh and I see Raymond walking mouth or I don't know I don't know either I I do I love pinball like it has this um uh there's a similarity to some baseball with like the superstitions the traditions and gyms doing the things the flippers oh you're giving me bad luck or whatever we all have our Sunday shirts like I wear the same shirt you gotta you gotta do the thing I was talking to wordrick earlier uh what during the classics match play and he's doing great he's doing great then he had this banana yeah they had that banana but later he had a sandwich Sanders is good bananas loved it it's just you see every so when you play in tournaments you see so many things that are bizarrely good fortune bad fortune everything in between it's hard not to think that there isn't some malevolent Force out there don't overthink it if it's working I'll use it all right let's see uh if Zach can can take advantage oh let's see he's lit oh and the dead mouse over oh must hit this that's like that's like punching your ticket to the next round at this point in the game one more one more just one more no no soup for you okay here we are last fall it's four four three three our player one is a three you need to take first or second to have any hope here unless you're a four and then you can take third and get to a tie break all right so Chris chin is not a four he has to go first or second he's currently in third so he has to pass Jared to have any hope yep he's all business see where this goes boom yes it's lit oh okay nice to get another try okay it'll be a little earlier than you were before yes nice nice with bonus nope oh lovely dead bounce oh I'm surprised you didn't go on the flight good patience nice little tap too much oh but down today Bounce It Back five catch careful all right he's got it the tournament is still alive oh this is a good one gets the advanced bonus too oh and another up and back another 10 000. oh all right Chris is in second place right now with a potential of Five Points and a date with the tiebreaker Jared August the other three-pointer also needs a first or second to have any hope here Four Points will not get it done today 425 he needs to get past 512 to keep his efforts alive not a good starts he's still alive oh oh no yeah late shot okay Jared can do no better than third no better than four points and one of those fours yep Jared's out he's out he's out so across here cross him out yeah all right here's Jim belsito he's one of the fours but he has the lowest score he needs to pass at least Jared to have a chance at the five point so he needs 456 second yeah if he gets past 450 then he's guaranteed a tiebreaker that's uh what three spins two spins you think yeah three yeah three good ones there it is all right is he gonna get a chance all right how does what is he doing Ally he doesn't know he doesn't have an alley he's gonna do some sort of move the ball up The Flipper and try and flick it over look happy about it oh no [Music] do the uh do the modified tap which is up and over in the dead bounce it's gonna break there we'll call it the dead tap or the tap down okay another try one of these is going to end badly right yeah come on rolling tap that was the only thing we hadn't had there was a Rollie dip oh God double bonus four that's last place uh cross uh it's over Chris and Zach come through he's the number one seeds we'll see if he picks uh uh demo man where's Carl our producer to oh I cleared it we're all good so it was you know it's kind of boring but that last ball is super excited especially when Jim wait to sell ball fives to figure out how to transfer left to right Chris is very happy we assume that he's smiling under that mask right so that means Chris is going Demo Man though yeah yeah promise is a promise Chris is Carl gonna move the rig over to something else good old Escher came over happy that he got through and a group of death really look at Esther's group take a look high stakes things are in progress in Kroger yeah she was in a group with Keith elwin and Kaylee George Derek Thompson's true probably Keith Kaylee exhausted from his uh main run played so well all day there's Esther's 1.88 billion on Pinball Magic oh my goodness Keith elwin with a billion oh and look at that Derek Thompson missed Keith's score by just 100 million on uh both over a billion and they're playing on Tron and uh what else we got we got Raymond it's six and Johnny Monica came back after losing game one to take game two so that's up in the air there okay got back to four and then the bottom group was Zach McCarthy and Colin Irvin and Jordan to Shane it's uh it's a five five two two that's an interesting you don't see that very often not quite like the 6611 but it's close that needs yeah that's going to require some magic and they're well they're playing Pinball Magic so oh well well maybe they have just what they need so Colorado's got uh someone in three other groups oh no I guess we're uh Zach McCarthy is uh and Jordan are in the same group there yeah you got any chances there I don't know where the chat is hey Carl can we bring some chat up we're just we're just the um let's see they're cheering yeah there's so there's your bracket there's the points right now from group one moving forward was uh Chris Chen and Zach Sharp yeah thank you thank you to everybody for watching thank you for watching all weekend thank you for playing if you were here um it's been I've I've had a blast man this has been great yeah I've been asking everyone what do you think Banning or Convention Center which is which wins was had all the games you wanted to play but in an area where nothing else was it was dead like yeah it's uh here you don't have as many but you have a better area yeah so but what is it okay you have to choose I you have to choose yeah you're going to be on a desert island and oh you can only go to one of those locations man all those games though well assuming all the games are there all the other yeah and you're gonna eat what what you're gonna eat yeah all the time while you're playing all this awesome games or do you want to eat 24-hour Ramen that's awesome all right what's the word we have lunch is that the food lab or whatever yeah speaking from a um event organizer uh position I would say uh they'd probably prefer Banning because of the amount of work that you gotta like get done in a much shorter amount of time Carl you would still do it at Banning if you could if like yeah if they were well we were one it was free for us yeah [Music] you don't have you've got like a full month ahead of time where was the where was that money because the prize pools were still huge here like where where did you generate that was that our uh yeah instead of going to the museum it went to pay for the facility for us okay so before I went to the meal that was to keep the museum running right and are you gonna raise our that price next year depends on if we can cover our costs we're not looking to make money no this is not profitable for any of us frankly right we just want to break even and have and do 100 on the prizable and we always do I can do it we always want to have 100 priceable I'll be back yes no problem this is a uh this is the a key that uh Zach McCarthy won for a Stern premium new in the box it's uh it's made out of solid gold substantial now I've only taken one picture of this and I've turned it into an nft yeah you can buy the Zach McCarthy index 2022 key nft there's only going to be one available and uh you got to go to your Bitcoin wallet now and uh make me an offer is your password yeah don't lose your wallet yeah no I think that um one of the cool things that you know I only went to two Indus at the Museum but what I did really like was um just the the players sort of it felt like a club more so than something like this because there is an external staff like kind of bag checking and like yeah I thought they were it was no it was wasn't cumbersome and it wasn't a problem I'm not saying that but uh I guess I just you're kind of camping out and it's like everybody knows sort of the situation or whatever but this place has been has been great the space has been plenty big there's not crowding uh the security and the process of getting in even with covid um has actually been Flawless more chill than I thought I thought it was going to be more than it was and which is wonderful okay I think they were checking the people in the costumes yeah which uh so which is it which you got to choose oh so you're asking me between food options and and well I mean an easier life for Stuff no let's say we don't care about Carl like Carl's not in this like what Carl's doing it no matter what I'm gone [Laughter] just your own this is all this is your own selfish in-disc experience which is better here or Banning here I don't have to run a car all right Steve's here yes convention center but I don't have to rent a car that's the big deal with you that's what was great about Pember you know staying in the city right no cars there's one Uber back from you know from there I can't and if you haven't been here the hotels are so close oh my goodness closed captioning not available I'm going with uh San Dimas Bowl I'm sorry that was that was the best that was the peak for you huh yeah a little tiny have you seen how small that room is look at pictures and look how small that place is but to me it was the free game of bowling after the tournament and Raymond and Donovan had in a bowl off was one of the great non-pivolous alternative activities at the end because we didn't have high stakes back then and there's nothing really to do here I guess well I mean there's nightclub but we're not a nightclub what's the what was what was your hope with uh high stakes like what's the point of it like we see the same players basically the point was just to have a massive pot right yeah the original thing was not to even have Whoppers in it to just have top eight players playing it right and but how many why are we seeing so many players now because the plots are so big so they're they're grinding you know if they lose out as they open they're grinding out at that on the on the end of the day yep and yet we're gonna probably see the same final four that we saw earlier pretty close I bet so it's it's more of a rich get richer in my mind it could be it could be yeah so then we need to I I talked about this two years ago up the cost of the ticket make it a hundred dollars then you would have his and her Mercedes you'd win up here or you dropped the Whopper requirement which then gets rid of the people that aren't playing just for the Whoppers which I think a lot of people were uh that's that's a better like 50 but there's no Whoppers here right and then we literally take just top eight top eight yeah oh that would be cut throat then it's a smaller prize pool it could be yes maybe a Cessna instead of the double Mercedes you could have an airplane at the old airport and buy some super yeah oh my God you're super good that would be good yeah you know I don't I guess with the Whoppers and the it just it feels a little repetitive and I'm not at a good like I love it it's we're gonna have so much fun tonight watching these guys play again and do their magic well I got that last game Aztec was phenomenal like five different ways we saw some things we hadn't ever seen before so from a Content standpoint it's wonderful from an organizational and having to you you know having to go late like you instead of getting out of here everybody has to stay an extra night you know nobody can fly home on Sunday but it's an incentive to get people out here also at the same night it is another tournament to play in and we see that over and over again it's the number of tournaments that's bringing people in look at District 82. so so yeah but it is about the Whoppers yeah so are you thinking of another adding another day is there something else we can do no no no I didn't say that we could set up on Monday we could have like a super Gauntlet remember the old Gauntlet at Papa oh yeah the legit one where you had to run and run it yeah you had to know where the games were I like that I've never done that I'd like to I want to set up I have all I think a lot of people have all four of l1's games like lined up I think there needs to be specific L1 gauntlets like play all four for you know start a multiball in each one but try and do it so that all four multiballs are running at the same time that kind of thing I got a lot of ideas I mean I I think this year also because this is 120 you know this is getting the um the Boost which brought even more players into it I bet that's I mean we had fewer people here attending but we have a lot more people playing in high stakes does the does the Boost occur there does it just occur it's 20 more there 20 more unopened also and I I rumor has it the Boost is going to continue to go up in future permutations of the formula rather than down because the ifpa would like to encourage this type of tournament where you legitimately have to it's hard to qualify and then you gotta it's a really hard to win and not this match play where you might finish fifth or sixth and never have played the top four ever once in the entire time that you were climbing the ladder which is still a very fun format and a functional format to run with a lot of people but in terms of finding the best player on the day not not so great it's you know it's it's that that balance of time God just time right is it yeah it's uh and then being able to travel in and out um way easier I mean that is the overriding factory yeah I can't it's only so much time you can try to stretch yeah especially after uh after covet like rental cars have basically doubled in price and so that really is a huge one of being able to Uber Uber from Ontario yeah and are we all set for next year is that are you committed to back to here next year oh we don't know yet yeah so we can't we don't want to we can't say for sure you don't have but if you did do you have a date I mean we'll go back to January if we can back to the second or third weekend in January okay that's that's our spot that's where we've always been except for this year yeah yeah and the very first one but that's the first one yeah you know that's what I do would you uh yeah are you planning to take your rig anywhere else this year that you know of uh not that I know of no one's asked me you're available for hire right I'm I'm I can be available available for her all right like And subscribe like And subscribe it's gotten a little more complex over the years but it's it's what are uh what are we waiting on right now we're waiting on the last player on Pinball Magic to finish Magic's playing a little long is it apparently man I wish it wasn't that was something so all right then update uh so group one Christian and Zach sharp advance from group two Escher lefkoff and and Keith elwin Advance I've heard of them group three Raymond Davidson and Johnny Monica Advanced Monica takes the zero in game one and comes back in belcito's into the next round you gotta love to see that yep I haven't seen a lot of Johnny this weekend so um yeah I like how Johnny Monica posted pictures of him like skiing and stodd Switzerland like on Friday and then he was here actually so it was like he really wasn't in Switzerland on Friday he just posted the pictures in on Pinball Magic it looks like uh looks like player two ball three is in progress player two of course would be you don't wanna you don't want to put the camera on it I can't it's the last player oh just just roll it I don't mind when that happens everyone else yeah well Escher doesn't mind he'll you can always roll it in for him let's see yeah all right we're going to the semis only eight hours to go folks stay with us player fours on Magic Mayhem did they just fish oh there we go um all right so we're gonna have to say goodbye to our friend Steven Bowden I have elite elite tonight flights oh you're actually playing out tonight oh wow well thank you good to see you man stay safe be well right we'll see you at the next one thank all y'all see you at the next one see you at the next one uh hey Josh gonna try and bring Josh Josh Sharpe into the booth here oh he's uh he's handing out money I think I'm due for a wee bit of cash I have a tiny bit you get a little too you you made it into the uh I made B the B division I take it well well uh well qualifying thank you thank you how close were you to Maine um how many points off the bubble do you know uh no I was just trying to get anything at that point I the um is this for me personally a wacky massive stuff everyone I wish we could put a camera on it well I mean you can see the games in the uh they're just and it's not like oh I would love to do this one if it was like uh played uh more friendly or something it was like no I know I need five games that I feel comfortable with like at all with any setup and um so what will tell me the games that were in your run uh so I liked Batman all right it played it played really hard but still fair but I was able to consistently put up some that was enough yeah you know like a top 30 yeah I could do that um I liked this is where it's like oh I liked it's kind of a loose word yeah um I would go oh so Atlantis turned out to be oh my goodness no that was my jam I would go up and I could guarantee a top ten sport yes are you getting a jackpot every time hitting that spinner wow yeah that's great value on that game too because a lot of people are avoiding it like yeah no one played it especially the the top players they were going to Atlantis no they didn't even think it existed going to Atlantis it doesn't exist I rode my dolphin in not just to ride that game every time all right and then um okay so then I'd go Shadow which I loved but I had such a hard time with it and and those Shadow there's so many players here who are able to like do the loop thing which I I don't do but uh fast yeah but the scores like you needed 400 500 million to have a chance so I would I'd go Shadow and then I do turtles have like a super super tight tilt um and uh I'm not really comfortable with turtles at all but again much like Atlantis a lot of the the big players that we're not playing through it was uh a was set really uh tight tilt yes b as a new title we haven't seen very often uh The Meta isn't uh well established although I didn't know I just did Donna tell yellow because we've got I've got two multi balls three power up and three multiball the thing is with until you play Four mode you can't replay those multiballs so you get two opportunities yeah to put up a good score are you heading out it's great to see you well well played I don't think he could even are you uh are you leaving tonight I've asked you probably ten times okay you are I am as well we we always because we know we're so exhausted on on Sunday night I like to see all the things yeah no rush this is a vacation you know for for me it's uh so yeah that that was pretty much my car all right and did you try other games are you stuck to the same each time and tried to put it together I played almost everything it was um almost everything except for no Stargate no Dirty Harry alien star uh sorcerer most stuff there's a lot of games here 18 games all right and if this is Chris's group as promised we are going to Demolition Man hey there you go Chad that's uh this is your choice your game there were over two dozen games to choose from but Chris chose Demoman because you the chat decided for him he still looks happy remember he was dead in the water on ball five of Aztec but he put it together yeah we're just there uh yeah wow good game last time all right here we go uh this uh this game of uh Demoman sponsored by liquid death hi guys uh we we have Josh Sharpe in the booth the uh I'm not from Colorado what's your official position in the IPA I am president you are president and how do you become president you've just named yourself president so I guess dictator it's probably that's how dictators yeah right a little bit I wasn't elected so yeah how do you become king then oh good we're following Zach's crew that's good I'd be less interested in being in here Zach uh that was quite a game of Aztec there it was all it was all there on Ball five for everybody yeah four four three three I like the tap passing yeah solid gems decision to tap was just hilarious so and Christian has been nothing but entertaining throughout every every moment that he's on the game I'm not sure what he's waiting for here but I expect another uh Johnny Monica took oh look at this I uh would you like him to play with the sticks or with the flipper buttons okay you get more points yeah you do what is it two million I'd say yes they want they want sticks wow it's been relayed putting 6 800 up to the chat yeah they um he wanted them to choose the game wow he's a high-stakes man I feel like there's 4 100 of my money in the 6800. [Music] so what'd we decide is he playing with these he's going sticks he saw the message this is uh really our first try to interact with pinballs no it's coaching it isn't coaching it's uh because it's kind of that weird you pay you pay and then the influencer does what you tell them to do let's watch these days they don't know what a TV so this is the motto this is the new ROM right so the crane is available but you can only choose each item once no you can you can choose it more than once it's a regular crane it's a regulator it won't give you if you choose lock more than once yeah we'll give you super jets instead but if you try to like me earlier today is this a touch screen can I touch it yes so like if you drop the ball right there it will stay and then it will fall into prison break and you can get prison break over and over again there is oh yeah and how is Prison Break uh Prison Break is highly disappointing when you have like one mode left and you keep falling into prison break instead of it going into super jets wow yeah I'm not bitter but there's probably I mean you probably give Kaylee a half an hour with this ROM and there probably is some like oh yeah no just choose prison break over and over again the the value doesn't reset so it goes 20 40 60 80 100 120 140. exactly Chris is using the buttons now was he not was he gonna be dq'd for not using the buttons no it'll just be uh Boot and chat that's good yeah thank you Carl we can't see him a lot of a lot of flips but uh not a lot of value there he did his first multiball without using his quick freeze you kind of save it for the second one right because I'm so used to playing it extra hard claw disabled that like I just I take the multiballs as they come and I just combo it's funny that you don't know how to use the claw anymore because you haven't used it for about 20 years I got an NLS claw in mind it's never touched a ball I believe this is the first time we've seen Johnny Monica this weekend on stream I think so nothing but high stakes brings them out you can't be bothered with regular steaks and uh are you just following your multiballs Josh you do combos get that computer you want to see what the first computer award is right everybody shares it sure I mean it's not It's Not Gonna Change Me grinding up the middle forever it's everybody's leaving tonight like don't people know that there's we're going to be playing pinball for another 10 hours what about you guys this is where uh your flights are right I write a bunch of checks and I leave and have whoever wins put your name on it when it's over I missed the good old days of big giant piles of cash I'm sure Carl doesn't miss it think about with all the high stake entries I mean there's probably a hundred thousand dollars all the video evidence now of cash exchanging hands back in the old days we could just see we played for free no harm no foul right yeah the uh who was it which which European government Sweden yeah yeah the first thing that happened when we arrived is we were told we were shut down yes that was fantastic we had to buy a one-year game license for every game we used oh my goodness wow three days of use what's the Swedish word for extortion so uh we had Arvid uh fluger your engineer yeah what what do you think do you get to see him play at all this weekend a little bit a little bit yeah does your mind who's you remind you of a young young a little a little uh oh Jared wants some money a little less deliberate than you're in but he's growing into it yeah I think he got some great experience this weekend all right let me pay Jared and I will be right back save my seat I didn't realize yes we will save yourself well I pay people they seem to want to get paid as they get eliminated so oh that's weird yeah [Music] meanwhile Johnny is uh plowing through plowing through his uh act Mac which would be his second claw award he's trying to get the Demo Man based on the scores we see I think getting the uh demo time is seems to be missing a lot at the moment good control player old Johnny Monica yeah one of that second generation of uh Southern California players think of sort of Jim belsito as the uh oh there's a pilot error I again I wouldn't say fatigue I'd say more just not familiar with the game maybe or or that particular role just sort of surprised him I don't know that was weird all right so here's Zach sharp who we saw oh we got Keith Ellen is player four it's always a treat to watch Keith play uh demo man let's see what uh Zach can do Beyond gagna who else uses the sticks and Christian for 30 seconds yeah no one no one oh uh Adam Becker oh yeah Adam Becker he likes he feels like he can move the game more and slide it with the uh and we need a better name than sticks like triggers or they're well they're not sticks they're gun handles uh just alternate uh flipper devices afds they're handlebars that's a good one yeah all right here comes Keith let's he likes to uh get his first multiball going without wasting his uh oh nice dead bounce there no claw for key no Keith always likes to do his first multiball uh the hard way and then he'll uh he'll do a museum with his his deep freeze it didn't stick it doesn't stick oh back door all right yeah I saw him hit it three times at his qualifying run and it never stuck so it's stingy of it there oh wow that's right yeah it's almost like people have been playing for four days straight well if you watch that that's my life now where my where your brain tells you it's on this slipper but in fact it's actually going to the other flipper I don't think it happens to the young kids very much but boy as you get older oh my goodness the old man flips yes spam oh my God he's uh he's trying to light his life is there a mode if you hit all the yellow targets during regular play or he's going he's going to play all multi balls without claws oh wow that's one way to do it old school oh boy nice save Connie oh oh you don't see that ramp hit very often High Familia yeah we need to teach Chris about uh Lane passing you don't always have to flip on the uh where on the side of the ball oh my God that was hot I know there it is right okay when do you take your secret jackpot in this one do you wait till you wait until the hard one yeah right orbit yeah or like the multiball shot if you're trapped in the left and can't make it all right or usually I use it after I drain out wait so you use it quickly this weekend for sure oh man there there's something everyone we're shopping this is the uh the rods and cones International sponsored by Visine helps the remaining rod and Cone work better by pin shades uh those fin shades are awesome uh yachting gave us a pair and they really do work yeah bring them to have Asher bring them to Dory yeah we both wear glasses so until he makes a thing until he's going to make them prescriptions yeah I think they're banned in certain countries so Johnny's disappointed in his accuracy he's looking for Simon right four shots wow one left he doesn't uh he doesn't like the old uh dead bounce it's funny on Demo Man no I don't remember the Simon in the movie nice re-lit his call he did oh it's nicer when it hits the top of the sling honestly rather than that come on Johnny oh bonus is non-trivial amount of points he was only two eggs he didn't have a lot of bonus but still uh all right so Zach he's at 12 million what do you do here you give him a little uh an encouragement clap or was that more of a hey I got a stake in this do better I don't know if it's taking it oh you didn't qualify it didn't make it that was dead money wow that's why Zach Advanced around any any events that we uh we split we both bombed out give it on there's the old Zack oh there's the new Zach oh you got lucky yeah oh Jesus oh no get your get your freeze oh there you go all right now well claw disabled did they disable it it was said before but now it is I I know nothing okay Schultz um yeah I didn't I thought I swear I thought I already saw someone use the claw earlier in this game was that a bug then like it should not have awarded him multiball there he would have taken it but oh Zach what now how about now what does uh what does this t-shirt mean is that an ace goge yeah the league and distributor oh cool Shane pimping his Wares always oh is he sponsoring Keith is he getting paid dozens of dollars ten percent of his winnings he sponsored our Bounty ah nice how how many of the bounties were not collected I don't think anyone got final battle six six out of ten were not collected all right so or they they roll over to next year double double value next year which means those games have to stay in the bank that'd be hilarious a game does not leave the bank until the money has been collected yeah that sounds like a really good idea you know what to also a really good idea just use it for using Mystery Castle every year that's weird I was not thinking that but now that you say it it sounds like Doom yes she's uh that shot is in his hardcore memory like that's not even software that's built in that shot has felt good for 30 years yes I'll be back more checks to write always be working I had a uh I had a game of uh Frank Frankenstein last night yeah that just sort of replaying some games I thought I might play today yeah started the sixth ball multiball and uh got three on one flipper and three on the other oh nice then what happened uh nothing good yeah talk about too many balls in play yeah it's like really you thought this was a good idea Sega yeah it's like cherry bomb with no balls yeah yeah he's trying to re-light his trying to realize his claw to work to get his make his way to uh demo time [Music] all right this is relevant oh no it's not um the first award is random but all four players will share the same award very much like Twilight Zone so you keep an eye on the first computer award he's having trouble getting the ball falling to the right off the middle shot which of course is what he needs to re-light his claw yeah he's having he's got two more quick freezes to do by hand I've always struggled with that trying to get those top Lanes to complete and you know different you see different demomans work differently like some just seem to fall that way more okay not this one yeah or dinos oh that's the one I'm used to at the three up uh oh my gosh house wherever it goes I feel like all four players have made a fundamental pilot error drain in this game and when they do I want to know what time it is and it's 9 40. yeah we started at eight this morning this morning after what three other days four other days yeah so 13 hours and 40 minutes yeah so what are you saying that if people get tired I'm saying let's go another six hours hell yeah so so I'd love to see the um the sanctum screen if we're talking about long-term oh yeah do they stream it I I don't believe they do that would be kind of funny and make the commentators do the entire like you have to do 24 hours of commentating too no napping you get Buckets to pee in and that's it yeah I think they do try to stream parts of it but uh I think the space isn't uh super helpful for like um line of sight oh okay that's uh that's a bad ball from Chris he really leaves the door open he has the lead at the moment but uh not by much Donny's having a look have you ever done the 24 hours is that your cup of tea snow it's uh when blizzard ran one yeah you tried it I did how'd that go it's not my cup of tea all right I uh I have zero interest in playing uh playing for that long yeah I've um I only want my friends to see me in a state like that not the general pinball yeah well I might lose buddies Carl have you ever uh played in a 24-hour event no no yeah you're supposed to say Yeah in this you sleep here right you got a cot you're right I'm under the table yeah I'm in your chains here so you can't go anywhere you can't escape Johnny has about done enough combos to uh it's gonna be really close if he drains now oh nice oh he likes that he's just trying to just oh boy oh no it's a gun I don't think he's got enough now no no should he use the handlebars huh why it was close a few more combos he would have got there Chris Chen gets at least one point Zach sharp is way behind but he also has a lot in front of him he's got his second he's got his uh quick freeze now unless the claw used it unless he already used it for to start his first multiball oh yeah he's doing it oh that was a good one oh my goodness and flippy so flippy for Zach oh late yeah so the claw is clearly disabled yeah well that was the big issue we had the entire weekend with the claw motor was having trouble oh so that's probably why Jim disabled it just yeah just done okay well we were working under false pretenses at the start but uh we've got it sorted out now the the thing about having the claw deactivated is it makes demo time way easier to get yeah why why does it make it so much easier well how about this it makes it way quicker to get because you're not having the claw pick up yeah plus in multiballs the claw does that pause thing where you once you put it up there right it's a 30 second transfer of the ball for the super it just I think it adds five minutes to a demo time you don't think it's that long oh it's definitely long it definitely does but maybe not five minutes but yeah it does add time to the game you could say you know that's yeah I don't know it's been so long since I played one I know I don't even know how to use the clock uh Josh was was complaining about how he he kept using it wrong and dropping the ball in the wrong uh that's been my experience anytime it's been turned on I'm like wait wait what do I do yeah yeah is this it is this the glove from Johnny newmano it's there's the glove one and then of course you have the four buttons on uh uh the video no what's what's the wide body of the same error same bad movie uh oh yeah Judge Dredd thank you and it's like which button is the plunge and which one changes alignment no I want to play blackout I don't want to play the captured ball mode yeah so Zach is chopping some wood I don't want to jinx him oh my goodness oh wow he seems uninterested in stopping like it's like he's got a flight or something he's making some choices I've never seen some explosion Millions oh my God he's missing oh there he is who is this guy playing Zach didn't usually play this way right he looks like he's playing he's like Jared like he's not stopping at all he's just flipping you know we're actually he we were commenting earlier that the younger kids do not really take their time they're super controlled but they're also not patient so it's like this not a single-hand wipe or yeah but it's controlled and it's nuanced but it's like chapter skip chapter skip chapter like let's just go go go go go go go okay I did he's coming all the way back if he gets a couple jackpots here he's going to take the lead but he hasn't been in a he hasn't kind of catch the entire ball which is not that's not like him I think he's doing it just to annoy Keith is that why he's pacing in the background he can't watch like if you watch the old days of some of the papa finals the amount of hand wiping there was more there was more time spent not playing actively that active play foreign language of how you're doing yeah you look like my Halloween dad what do I pick like so the claw is disabled uh it is yeah it was causing the motor was causing problems probably because the motor hadn't been used for 30 years until the new ROM came out I prefer the colada stable these days surely has it in bonus by now right this is Ball three yeah climb back oh now he's got it I made me at it anyway yeah he needs a number that's safe from Keith which is yeah I'd say five just to be safe there we go but uh you missed it Keith had the same sort of weird drain pilot air drink I thought that was right before I left oh that's a total right like right there he's not regaining control he's just putting it back into play is that how it's got to be done now no he's just tired man yeah we haven't we haven't done this in a couple years I know I keep saying I'm not out of gas all right we could tell you the rules to demo time but just watch you can figure them out yourself at a ball uh all the white all the white targets all the white targets he's got one more to go at least he's well warmed up for this don't cradle thing still keep those flippers down on guard uh nice oh look at this oh he's thinking about it oh his Flipper's stuck get attacked get attacked oh it's working again well he jail breaks for no reason oh yeah is the ball stuck in the retina scan for fun oh there it is maybe there's a little uh animation stacks wow that was a nice save very I can't handle this anymore like I said who is this playing who was playing oh that was weird this is a nice Sparkle oh it's a ball in the grace period lineman rest in peace that that was a really big grace period oh wait what is going on he broke it new game come on now right ball Search kick it there we go yeah it was just again it was like an animation section oh he's trying to save it so he can cradle up all right that switches left oh oh okay another one again oh any more in there there's got to be I guess uh if it thinks it's that's what we call a very special grace period for the atom ball he had three balls you know if he had cradled up even once during that entire sequence we might have realized that uh yeah some balls were were unaccounted for are they stuck in the buck yeah it's hard to keep track now can you go into adjustments live like the Sam system no I know I was playing along maybe we should try maybe Bob should try and Bill thanks for the hose welcome viewers if you were just joining us this is the final Tournament of indisk 2022. we've had four days of World Championships classic match play classic tournaments the main tournament now we're watching high stakes and if you haven't seen pinball competitions yes it's a real thing we even have rankings Josh are you familiar with the pinball rankings unfamiliar you are and and you play in tournaments how's it work you play tournaments and you get points that establish your ranking based on how you do compared to everybody else yeah when you get like all these balls stuck in demo man is that I remember in the old days you got points for almost anything like I got MVP points at Pin brawl and for a team competition that yeah those were the days I was the first time I I cracked the top 1000 although there were only like 800 people there's this uh there are 99 people uh with a two-digit ifpa player number are you uh you in that group no I'm a three digit Donovan is a two digit 66 yeah uh because he went to like pinball fantasy back yeah you know 94 with the old school he was part of the archives the initial archived results Keith is a single digit uh Neil's the single digit I don't know who else uh Bowen Lyman yeah Bowen and Lyman me and Zach I think we're in the ten Paul single digit oh yeah the whole Madison might also [Music] good to see him out yeah that's what we were talking earlier about it I'm sure these kids under 20 are like who's this grandpa that probably nobody knew yep and I I have to tell you I gotta tell him the story I met him at Papa when he was at getting 16 billion on fishtails 600 million supers at a time his initials pem are were you know burned into many games for decades we didn't see a lot of the uh like Ben Granger we didn't oh no if you're attacked you just you just drain out here like you don't want to we had this weird State on uh Shadow today where the scoop became non-functional but the game knew it was non-functional like it didn't go to ball search or anything it just wouldn't the ball went in and just the scoop wouldn't have worked at that point it'd kick another ball out immediately never seen anything like it all right what are we doing here are we we okay now is he trying to Jack's like I'm gonna drain yes and call my game good and Oh weird this is what happens when you use custom ROM crap yeah absolutely you run into weird he's he's uh yeah he's like let's uh I remember he had a Nationals match it was at lions against gagno yeah on GNR that had a non-functioning adbam member that's the classic GNR original GNR bug and uh Zach avoided hitting it and Robert was down by so much he had to hit it to make it happen I remember that and he did that was awesome and it threw the game out the uh Tech reset you can have your Tech pass you can have your Tech do-over it was a big one yeah well done well was it though because I mean it was a little slow as we were it's a lot of sloppy joes yeah yep yep like you you'll lead it like if there's nothing else to eat but at the same time you'd rather go get sushi or some nice there's some better choices yeah all right let's see if Keith can cat we said that uh four would be better than three but I'm not sure how what his interest level is is he uh like I'm sure he's well paid at Stern right yeah they're bit you know the great design huge royalties yeah huge he gets uh yeah like every time someone plays any of his games like he gets uh that's The Insider That's The Insider connected yeah Godzilla Insider connected was was some sort of uh nft Bitcoin uh thing just hit it up the ramp oh look at that there you go now nudge it over he found a way to uh relight his claw oh no Keith this has to pass 732 oh there we go yeah but it's fall search you need Simon it's not going to award computers like yeah oh yeah if you're playing for here there's absolutely like you have to fix this like we're not handing Zach a free four pointer yeah I think Jim thought that hope was gonna fix that yeah do you think it's the game is the game in a state where it just it's down a ball and doesn't know or is there a death switch it's an opto probably oh Jim gonna live clean it with his bottle of goop or whatever that he was keeps in his pocket hey this game's plugged in and on hey somebody give me some water that I can hot spray on the inside fixes more games than I've ever seen anyone no double car crash oh that's 32 million for free Keith slowly moving into second place this is uh we were talking about the tech pass and the this one that was the tech bonus interesting Playfield View does he just does Jim just know which wires will kill him and which ones won I guess I mean he was under Frankenstein when I was holding my balls and he was not even missing it was like dude will I die if I'm touching you and holding the game he asked me to hold the Playfield up and I'm like is this a good idea you got the the remaining crowds getting a little a little Restless how are we doing in uh in the in the twitch Universe Carl how many viewers is anybody watching because they could stop it plenty of people watching all right how many we got I saw like almost a thousand last night last night I'm gonna rage uh who did the raid um next door oh okay Tampa never sleeps I was watching I was watching Classics before I went to bed and it was like oh my God there's a thousand people in here what's going on today we've been seven to eight hundred most of the day look at that so who says you can't break 500 but uh we need all those people to come and play what else did he get four that's 42 million total if Jim could give him one more he will pass Johnny sorry Johnny thanks man thank you so much I say we turn it off let's finish this thing all on Aztec but because azteca's always comes down to the last ball anyway let's just one ball of one ball Aztec for the rest of the tourney is he gonna check it well the red the value goes up again now before the the before times do you remember Jim having uh gray hair I don't know you know what as mine has gone I don't look at him enough to notice but he's uh yes he reminds me of a young captain stubing now on uh Gavin uh I'm sure Chad will tell me you uh don't fix it Zach Josh you you're a little grayer than you were the last time you emerged let's go and it's going we saw you in your garage briefly at uh Expo and then uh before that it was a couple years yeah I think I didn't snow didn't we warn everyone when this thing started that it was going to be a marathon not a Sprint uh-huh oh yeah he's in on it so unless it's a Sprint and then Sprint but and Chris is what's going on a new game oh no no you can't fix it no he says he can't repair it wow wow can he can he just give him and you know midnight was you know and no in our grass no position let's give one more captive ball hit so then John he's still messing around maybe just hit a couple more targets he's not doing anything and Johnny at least doesn't have to replay nope there was no position like what are the odds that we don't have anybody who who guaranteed last if only Keith was in second yeah then it would be much simpler out to figure that out this is how Zach's night is gonna go this is uh this is football oh there you go there Johnny's out he caught him on bonus he caught him on bonus and you know the 42 million Tech points yeah Tech points like that well that was a little anti-climactic this was Chad's fault because they chose the game good job it's actually going to leave he just you want to just leave sure this is like you're watching a series on Netflix and then after it's awesome and then you find out that like there's not another it got canceled it's like I can't have that time after I wasted all this time watching this stupid thing and now there's no there's no outcome we'll never know who got eaten I'm really surprised that Jim is just like I can't fix it look you're Jim belsito man come on he needs a pep talk or something really Jim can't fix it that's like a sign of the Apocalypse is that Bob's phone case oh that is awesome if that's true does Bob have a smartphone oh yeah these are all great questions that's not Bob's so no way that's Bob so that's somebody else's phone Scooby-Doo oh he's not giving up get under there check it in switch test do things this portion of the stream is sponsored by Comet pinball and Marco for all your pinball needs hardware and lights you and the boys signed up for Texas what's your next big one no we uh we don't uh go to Texas but the Texas pinball Festival is next month yeah did it get uh it got what's the term certified certified base you got to still see the results to make sure but yeah uh we actually we got a spot in the district 82 Whopper Fest in April very good I don't know that we're coming but we got an option too we uh how about you my daughter turns eight that weekend so you're coming up you're bringing her up no but I did negotiate uh yeah their February event which is pretty much half of a April event yeah my son turns three on Sunday and Amanda is letting me go Friday and Saturday for three events one Friday night two Saturday back home Saturday for the birthday party for the birthday party on Sunday I'm actually surprised she gave me that one for uh Evan's gonna be three he's gonna be three good Lord hey I haven't seen uh any Joker poker three ball or a five ball Joker five ball oh the way it should be played and EBS this could also take a while this is a great rule set though it is each ball highlights a different area of the playfish and a different card and so the first ball is your ten second balls Two Jacks third balls three queens all the three queens the greatest ball to have the fourth is your Four Kings on the right those are pretty good they rarely mess you the Queens are uh the Queen's the money it's that's both flippers accessible you can hit them and once you once you put them down it's five thousand a hit you could just work and uh of course the aces on ball five and if you drop all the aces it will light the extra ball Target you can show us on the uh touch screen here we go it is right there I saw you play this game Josh uh down in Florida yeah that was fun it wasn't really I had a I had a nice lead playing it as if there was a tilt and uh you in desperation I had a I had a desperation save that I was prepared to tilt on and uh yep wow so who was who was the who was the big winner of uh of the malfunction Johnny Modica yeah he was definitely gonna take us and Zach probably the big loser have you ever I mean it happened to me in pinburg where I was most likely going to take last but not quite in the game reset right it evens out over the course of 30 years so Johnny wins this hands down just hands down Zach's gonna take last yep so uh tens are hot here so you you knock your ten down I do like you know points is points it's not a bad shot I set up my 5x for whatever else I get yeah in this case nothing Zach thrilled to be going to Joker poker game yeah so he gets to carry the points over though he's at 2.1 billion 2.7 billion pretty safe lead although Keith behind you you never know that's a lot of Queens though yeah are do you short plunge to the sorry I actually I actually thought I found the one bounce yeah back over to that yeah that's there it is no that not that no not that well unless you won that shot at the aces does he hit anything there the second time he did oh that's good uh what's ABC is extra ball yes yes so there's two ways to like this but you could only collect one correct and they're not playing extra balls oh do they know that yeah yeah they know all right we thought it was funny that the sign said plunge extra balls and it's like does that mean I plunged them into play and then flip or you know I need more information there that sounds like something for left coffin Associates yeah clearly my client punched the ball that's right what did he do wrong yeah one of my notes for 2023 is the excessive number of extra ball games you guys are really working that out I mean it changed the Strat for some things I didn't know how to light extras on anything because I haven't thought about it in Forever too hot give me oh look at the headlight giving points for extra balls on alien star completely changed the meta it was bizarre like it happened in real time you get it or not you just got it it's meaningless so he is bringing in like the equivalent of 2.7 billion on demo is what probably 400 on this maybe yeah 350. yeah [Laughter] so if he can get it up that high before playing his extra ball then oh another pilot error driving cars off cliffs this acts like I plunge and then play does Jim have to plunge my extra big big important plunge think about it do I have to tilt well it's at the plunger Lane I have seen five Aces collected on it zero points I know he got it 10. that is the worst plunge yeah and then some jet action it could have gone over to the ice I have seen all five Aces put down on an extra ball punch better that on a ball five extra level that would be huge all right let's see how Keith does zero taking the drain Let It Go or do you take ball on flipper or do you drain and replenish what do you think uh drain and replenish I go left side up between the Jackson Queens oh he actually took his ten let's see now I think he was going my my alley let's see I go left alley nah Jackson Queens you want those uh five thousands he's going in order he wants a straight flush because that's worth more if you do it in order it's the uh Pascal rounds yeah oh no oh boy oh Halsey again not a lot in it is there an em version of joke they uh it was one of those that was on the cusp like Evil Knievel they started with the m and it's like hey we've got some new tech let's do it what could go wrong the rules on all those games are so much better five ball yes clearly uh you don't see I don't think there are many though like I think that's pretty rare just like the Evel Knievel Donovan has an evil yeah oh he got rid of that well I wouldn't say get rid of it so he retired he was well compensated for the evil that was a Game Exchange uh he founded a Game Exchange who may or may not have known its full value at the time searched Evil Knievel the SS rather than uh yes I don't know the big deal they made like 18 000 of these things yeah but again we're on five ball play here so you know this is all basically just the uh the salad yeah maybe uh Zach got an appetizer like maybe some I don't know garlic bread there's a lot of courses left Johnny clearly would be a calamari guy good patience so let's see where Johnny goes well you got to get your decks down either one works look at that goes left side Donny's really good on this game I have seen him like I think he plays it correctly oh oh look at that oh he tilted oh it reset this is awesome oh good God okay or was it a slam tone it's on a slam no but let's think about if he gets okay we're never going home if they can uh but if they can break all of them then what happens do we uh does we then start like Kaylee comes back as top scene chasing people into spiked pits and eating them like in yellow jackets this is like the Gladiators like all right roll the next one out yeah for the for the killing do you like the uh can't pick the same game throw off the tournament I think it's cute and not excellent when you have you're willing to certify this as an open world champion oh for sure it's a different flavor I like it because it's different like if everyone did it that way it would become annoying uh uh but it and also you can enforce there's no such thing you're not it's not collusion to talk about like if I don't choose like Josh what would you pick like that's not collusion no that's just information sharing yep and so why are you making why are you making the players have to facilitate a negotiation rather than just let the person who earned their spot pick the game they want to freaking play like I I and oh and it's like okay from a viewing standpoint oh we're gonna see the same games over and over and over as a I love watching that watching players adjust and get better at it and then you see these incredible games like we saw on cheetah in the in the uh Classics finals like to me that's awesome that's great and and granted you don't have to stay on stream for 18 24 36 hours Carl right you can we could make a best of four cars we could put a package together you could edit it all together later like when you get home you got nothing else to do what am I editing together all the fails for them no no we're gonna we're gonna let every it end this now we're gonna let everyone choose the same game each round that they want to and then the tournament will take a little longer so the stream you know it'll it'll take like 36 hours tops okay and then and then you pull out the best three hours from it and put together a package on how to play and maybe it'll get on the Ocho someday we could try right right right so just you could you could do that just use all your bits that people are giving you like And subscribe like And subscribe no so what about you Josh what what's your take on that it's a FL it's a different flavor flavor yeah because it really has a different feel than your world championships where you play the same games each round I mean you can't switch it feels like yeah unlike the the head-to-head World Championship we run I feel like I was talking with Kaylee about it earlier but when you get to like the whatever quarters semis and finals like the players have their best picks and it feels like a tennis match where you're really breaking someone's serve yeah because that's a good point because they're coming with their best and you're playing the other oh that's garbage so he has a so he has a huge lead on uh demo man he has a huge lead on game the do-over Zach's gonna win game three here oh it just happened to Keith two with nothing he gets it back gets it back did they remove it oh Keith's now on ball three wow what's the chances of that happening twice that that wasn't that was a replay oh was it a replay oh Carl too tired man I was gonna say you got to give us a heads up there replay not live TV which would you prefer still you'd like to uh have to pick games all the time or uh stick to the same same set over and over again that there are different routes because it would suck to if to always be doing the same thing yeah I mean that's truly that's truly it because I I enjoy the the different flavors you know like um because there's a huge thing about like when you're gonna choose to do what when you're gonna defer because like you're trying to save that whatever that's part of The Negotiator yeah yeah exactly hey hey and we saw a great game in laserque we never would have seen that rule now laser cues have gone up in value 30 percent didn't Raymond choose Atlantis at some point because he was down without knowing the rules and then he kept hitting the spinner for basically no point that's fantastic so um but but I like I like what you're saying about you know the the idea of like breaking so you know breaking the surf you know it's uh nice pass that's lovely I'm glad there's both oh my gosh okay and he did not break it this time so Johnny was in last place in both the previous games but in this game it would be awesome to fly Gates and what happened to Zach would be normal or if you tried to bump it back in it would just be a one-way game that wouldn't go anywhere and if you fell down the return late it might just fall out extra hard Viking oh oh not that time no magic there is this three or five ball it is three balls please tell me it's three ball Carl I have no idea how the hell have you been doing this weekend I have no idea oh my God how much does it hurt to not play and to miss all this yeah it sucks yes when States comes around that's when it's Gonna Hurt most is huge can you give a uh like you know in tournaments they give the player exemption for the for the old-timers who can't well I can't keep up on tour that'll be coming as I become that guy yeah as soon as oh that was a great save I feel like Zach didn't even do what he wanted to do to save it and he still saved it there you go you guys are the sharps are spinner all day or do you multiply until you get to a certain trouble turn your head off and yeah yeah see that's how I play it but Usher insists on trying for the drop targets no way man especially with these with Jim's juice Spinners yeah nice nudge out of that left side it acts like I'm gonna win seven games this round oh he's got his 20 locked in he's gonna tilt knocking it off oh so that Cadence messed up his timing to the center oh you survived oh Dad he rushed it because he was afraid it was gonna get stuck there we go that's better oh how much do you get out of that uh to rod 300 yeah yeah he's spinning all day is the way to go in this game it's sad but true and more importantly you only have to dial in on that shot from both flippers and you just you can relax yeah that's what's he getting a little hand wiped there well let's look like sort of a wall thing you know where Walt leaves the game for a little while after making a shot assuming the shot has been made good to see Walt come out yeah I think he had fun yeah first time he's ever played under the camera his button accuracy I I'd be I'd be missing constantly nobody it's on it's not reproducible like you can't explain it baby instead of it is prime yeah it would be close that's I was saying it was really instead of 2-0 if you could offer Kaley points for doing that he would be interested thousand at a time yeah there we go bam nice Johnny has showed him that he can oh you got to be careful of that slowly settled above the spinner oh nice nice little chill oh that uh the unhittable shot is lit oh lovely so are we gonna get the same outcome that we would have gotten two hours ago on Demo Man I can't believe there's two more games are there even two more machines available I think we've moved the other group on already this is Gabe one or the other groups in the semis half the semis yeah who's in that it's Usher Raymond Colin and zmac oh that's hilarious that's um three of the four finalists and Grandpa Ray yeah creperated yes yep Colin's at four Usher at two Raymond at once you make a zero oh he's switching I see I think when you get your bonus up enough that the ev even comes drops then oh Keith doing some work hey uh Carl what what game is the other uh or the semi-final guys playing on as fantastic oh Aztec are there two people then waiting for this group to finish for the other side of the the final eight or is this game one of the semis it's just the third game for this group and the other group has four but I mean they're the group has four players and they're playing shouldn't they be done by now only game two huh they're playing on Aztec they had a a close game of Taxi that sure beat Raymond on Taxi by uh skill shot thank you again for the raid Tampa never sleeps we're watching the last tournament of our multi-tournament series here high stakes which has a prize of sixty eight hundred dollars for first place and the new Mercedes-Benz 300 SL aughter taxes what is that like 51 something like that uh you know we don't worry about taxes and this thing we're uh we're everything's off the books my accountant disagrees but this is the 14th hour of tournament play today yes sir it started at eight right yeah that's good it's 12 30 in Chicago right now I'm happy to not be sleeping because my kids will not care when I get home tomorrow but uh you know we we knew it we knew this we knew this was the price of admission when we came oh no oh yeah that was enough uh enough time to settle and prepare for your nudge Christian such a happy-go-lucky guy he gets that collect saucer a lot it just earns it just in his positivity in life I like the uh the buffet little little spinach on one side and maybe a little multiplier on the other he's making a triumphant trying I don't want to jinx him but he's trying to get back in this thing for the 12th time over the nice collect oh delay had to count all those points does it reset it doesn't reset it does not does it collect with uh multiplier it does oh my God and you still don't shoot those drops oh my goodness probably should yeah you think eventually I wonder is it a uh is it a setting Carl like Frontier style where you can enable Deluxe I have no idea I imagine it's the same uh you're you're like man right now you you're just blank void over here yeah but you have the internet at your fingertips you could Google it you think I can find something about biking oh you know what I mean we have something better just drop Target settings we have something better than Google we have chat right all right first person in chat dip switch number 16. tells us the dip switch to uh collect bonus with or without multiplier wins Adam's ice cream truck oh no no no I did not agree to that I uh keep that one an ice cream challenge this weekend oh what was it that sure had a great uh Classics two ticket and I told Keith that uh he he had to beat it on one one try and he walked up to me about two hours later and oh Johnny going with the no flip strategy yeah Bob Bob writing scores now like this game's gonna not end in a catastrophe malfunction just starts smoking was Johnny last in the original game he was and it was Chris second in the original game so if Zach oh Zach it's Zach and Keith who might swap yeah I'm sure Zach doesn't mind what was that a sharp hitting uh a bonus he's like you know what's kind of nice is 20 000 times a ton of points seems like that collect hole gets hit a lot it must I'll find the setting I'm gonna win it in chat unless chat everybody has it I'm looking no one cares that's the true answer relax Zach it's okay that was not going away don't don't tilt buddy probably that was great that was a lovely bring it out of trouble oh come on now you did all the work okay here we go give it you give it oh just short no bonus setting according to the manual boo look look thank you oh I was not looking that's too bad oh dear that's a shame it would have felt better to have the do-over with the same outcome all right Carl's gun he's limping over to the God he's got a he's got a walker and he's slowly making his way to the uh on Tuesday I met Neil McRae and uh Kate Martin there and uh the English guys he brought in the uh Andrew and oh yeah all the people that I have not written checks to today because yeah they left I I fist bumped them earlier that headed back to uh across the pond I suspect uh Andrews did very well he was yeah got some skills for sure and it's how uh how young is he uh he's in his 20s okay Works in a pub yeah he's pretty much over the hill by now but uh it's mostly a matter of sort of limited uh resources in the UK like he there were none of these titles he had ever seen or played and the access he has a couple Pretty Dirty I feel I feel behind for sure yep but I appreciate the Godzilla tips today sportsmanship how about that and we were in the same group weren't we and and did I hold anything back or I said did I set you right you earned pinball Karma points today yeah so oh yeah right now can you hit the ramp from the right flipper I could not earlier do you think that was your inability or was that the machine's inability I'm gonna say it was the machines but now that the other games are off maybe it's cooled off yeah more power to the outlet yeah so I actually have no idea how to play this with this is a great rule set is it yeah so this shot blocks the ball yeah and then that shot starts a multi and under the and then this thing lights this spinner and that's the whole game okay all right Jim belsito would say otherwise what does he do he shoots drop Target Banks you have in multiball you have a one and a two and a three and if you do those in order you get one of these and you get all of these and then there's a special available for the remainder of the ball at like 500 000 a ramp or something oh that does not clear when I don't believe it clears that's funny I wouldn't know because never tried it yeah I have not played the game for specials in a long time [Music] isn't it the case with like a lot of these premieres that the specials or EBS or yeah half a million we'll never go bam we got a full there we go there you go cool sounds anyway right yeah yeah better than the taxi txxer's little cousin oh and until oh reset it's snow white okay [Music] when it goes down that in Lane it's gone it's gone it's just gone there is no way to say the Tilt is super tight like I guess I've seen it occasionally it can it hit the edge of the the jump ramp part and maybe if they had a wrap if they had a rubber on it if they'd had a rubber oh we got a raid I think I'm reading this right 1300. holy moly I know it's like it's a very exciting moment for pinball triple the normal viewership yeah this music is great I'm way into this to get a post pass What's it gonna do uh nope see why didn't Johnny dead bounce there like especially on this on this level Arrow slippers that dead bounce is perfect because they're so flat there you go look at that you just weren't flipping correctly what's uh what's Johnny's t-shirt snow do you know what that uh what that's all about that that was the shirt I used for my first critical hit and then that was your and where did it come from uh I'm sorry yep that's uh what year was that is that like version one oh he's he's busy saying goodbyes oh Johnny what are you doing Johnny you just you were you would even alley pass it because it wouldn't go a little tap thing you could tap that yeah you could tap easy on this oh yachtied on stream we're gonna catch like eating catch an Uber to our airport tomorrow uh Ontario or where do you find out yeah all right how's it going to get over how's it gonna get over he's gonna he's gonna shoot spinner this is news act and it's one of those great where you actually need to go through the lids and shot not the unlived shot I wish it's you know I wish all the manufacturers got together and agreed on that sort of thing that would be uh yeah like how about WWF where the where you can only move the uh you can only move the skill shot light in One Direction yeah why was there no consensus on that and then also add buttons on party what do those buttons do do we know they moved the lanes is what I was told oh yeah so they added significant so while everybody else decided that you could do it with the flipper buttons what because they weren't really busy at the time those guys decided we needed an entire Hardware that's gonna set us apart oh there's the that's right clip it I said there was one roll even without the rubber on there where it'll self-save oh oh here we go spinner not it oh no that was late by like a year no no how did Johnny get that sweet ramp lock shot hit it you got time yeah there you go like four spins I'll tell you a new Zach's playing pretty well here what's that extra ball I know I don't know does he plunge it into play there's he better not I don't think there was any talk about it beforehand Carl are we playing extra balls on Robo War there are no extra balls on any game he just got one he cannot play it he gets the plunger so we're stuck but we're stuck plunging is playing same thing what's the difference he gets to pull the plunger release it and then not hit the floor it's not Seattle rolls where you get like one foot can he push the flippers or not hit the flippers what could he do can you push the flippers pre-plunge right could you hold them up if you get a set up a lane skill shot how about if you had like can use your knees it's not really flipping at that point then it's more of a you're resting your knee against stuff I need some cones for both Josh and Adam right now where'd the whole code thing start was that a zmac thing no that was a Big Buck Hunter thing I've been looking for a dunce cap right for for when I make you know something and I found the cone I thought oh the cone that's gonna be funny and then it turned into a thing yeah it did yeah it did you can oh wow that was like a swing and a mess yeah that was hey Keith hits the butt The Flipper button harder than others that's why it went up The Flipper button respects him a little more oh oh yeah oh boom Oh it rejected it's like he hit it and it hit the the cards thank you for the rain I apologies I was away from the desk when you raided greatly appreciated and welcome all you new pinball viewers we got some new people watching this is uh in this 2022 this is the final tournament we've been here for a very long time we haven't turned or slept or Drake I think if you add up all the prizes from all the all the uh we're over a hundred thousand for the weekend no not over 100 000 but this specific tournament is at twenty thousand you're forgetting about the Mercedes the Mercedes you keep talking about this oh nice uh nice PPM there that was really nice so we're in the semi-finals of the high stakes tournament we're down to our final eight shortly we'll be down to our final four and uh the other group has moved on to game three all right where what's the standings in the other group uh we've got Escher at six Raymond at two calling at four zmac at two and uh six four two two and they are on Viking [Music] oh that was the other way out of it Johnny's now convinced himself he can shoot that rant because it went once that was a great nudge off that wall up there that was awesome We've Got The Magic Touch it wasn't working for Chris no it was not but I don't think you oh [Music] look at that cheese tonight give it to him twice oh here we go oh thank you and we're back and we're out yeah thanks for playing we need a new soaring ROM where to re-light Locks you need to hit all the drop targets first [Music] you know the uh the surfer rum actually wasn't a uh throwing Rock there wasn't a sword run who did it someone else someone else knows how to modify rocks to be honest it wasn't as orange who was it was it a initials SSC yeah possibly but who's that do we know is it are we allowed to say that I don't think so that's why I'm not saying it oh I see it was uh unsanctioned or it's the same person that may have modified the barakora robs like I mean let's be serious about the IP involved here and statute of limitations and the ability to decompile planetary pinball Supply is a big ifpa sponsor so we respect their partnership over that IP uh-huh and uh at the end of the day it is zeros and ones and uh if you're clever enough you can pull out the zero ones and reorder them in a different way and that's uh as a user you have the right to like you could take uh you know some Brad Pitt movie and digitally changed his face to be I don't know someone else yeah because it's yours yeah Tracy from outer space he wants to some explanation on throwing rocks you want to give him okay so a lot of these games were made back in the 1980s and 90s was pretty simple rule sets and they were great for earning quarters uh as their intended purpose as the years go on and we use them now in tournaments uh there are uh the rules aren't great for tournaments because you can find repeatable things and as you see the caliber of player now and their level of control that being able to have rules that are so repeatable these players could play nearly forever except for that right and so the the value proposition of a Sauron ROM is the game plays similar but he tweaks some of the rules and there's also been bugs or bug fixes that have read your games unusable right like where the the bonus count up is unreliable or where it would award points when it shouldn't and in the old days all the uh all the logic was burned on to actual chips and so it was prohibitively expensive for the manufacturer to send out updates so they take 8 000 chips you learn to live with it if you get 10 billion on a creature hurry up then good for you but uh by having these by rewriting the the ROMs and burning them again now in 2020 or 2015 or whenever we fixed the bugs we make the games much more friendly for tournaments piss off a lot of tournament players who've been playing for 30 years but that's a different conversation and uh but some games had bugs that made the game truly unusable in tournaments uh what's what's a really good example uh well Terminator 2 getaway yeah no good Gophers yes they didn't there's not a ROM for no good Gophers is it I don't know I don't think so that would be cool oh my God again oh where's Chris is he in trouble now what's uh what's his score for himself Chris is going to be two after two so he'll have it out somehow to get to it so you have anything to add there Carl on the uh on the sword room no that sounded pretty good to me I uh I'm not a I'm an old uh like I don't even like LEDs like I'm a purist like I want the exact incandescent bulb that was designed in 1974 in my game or something I'm on the team like uh if if an original game can be fixed via Hardware I prefer stock production ROMs when possible like Dracula for example yeah but Dracula has that terrible 9x tilt-in tilt-in you can tilt out and and you can what are you talking about the holding the restart to get 3x3x I thought it wasn't holding in the restart it was you tilt out if you tilt out in three in 3x 30 Millions then the next plunge next time you start multiple you'll get this is that true yeah the restart is definitely a thing right now but I think you've live restart right no but I think you can do it without the restart maybe not but um so you like the bug fixes I just don't like the like there was a theater magic one oh oh yeah it changed all the scoring yeah but or The Adams Family one where like it's like thing is is now 20 million instead of 10 million or it's like Jurassic Park was like the original Jurassic Park uh is like that like you made the modes more valuable but it kind of changed the entire yeah I don't know I'm sure like people who own the game love it because it gives it like a fresh coat of paint or whatever all right well Zach got to flip Keith is assured second place here back for his money oh no oh if Zach uh they couldn't quite do a 6611 here but uh in the at one of the permutations of the games we played oh nice nice no nudge there oh my God there's a in Lane wow that was a nice one oh my goodness no chill there I would have missed that I blinked when that was happening oh my God he just wants it the bam oh no oh no you saw that one yeah bad bad ball Spin and turn the good news is he doesn't have to play he's he's at eight and Zach keeps missing points yep so it's the old eight three two one right it is three two one so uh Keith is through to the finals yeah welcome everybody wave to the folks at home this is in this 220 2022 I'm Adam levkoff to my left I have Josh Sharpe and snow Galvin he's the president of the ifpa snow is the president of what do you call it house you're the state rep for Colorado these days yes don't sell yourself short how do you become an election you get the previous reptile the inside so the the big meetings the cabal Gatherings and things the the vacation in Maui that was it Maui this year trees of course everyone gets because we've been sponsored by Mercedes for years now I couldn't do this without them yeah yeah I love that we got the couple's Mercedes this year Paul's loving it is Paul or husband not Paul Madison oh yeah he didn't come what's up with that he doesn't do tournaments okay it's for the better but uh he screams on what's his uh Colorado pinball there's also a pinball map there for all the Colorado events that's based upon how well Colorado did this weekend no kidding uh if you're thinking of moving somewhere to uh to uh to have a pinball career Colorado might be the place to go you learn a lot hey we haven't seen taxi since the beginning we uh did we get a jackpot we had a great sequence Christian had the jackpot lit and made three perfect shots and all three of them yeah I saw the one that came all the way through it was like yeah he was getting boned Every Which yeah all right is Keith just going to not play just to make this go faster I really hope so [Laughter] he's going he's doing first he's going just just do a uh Robert Gagner short plunge here is he gonna plunge and walk off come on Keith he'll play for like a minute your play is irrelevant you know he wants to he wants to get the skill shot he uh he likes to add passenger but he even missed that he's gonna play for airport do the Joshua Henderson I already I told everyone in chat they'd win uh uh in this pen if anyone got to the million hey this is Keith Ellen man he came to play don't be don't be cheating him out of his job out of his experience he's trying to find a shot or two maybe he's locking it for his buddy do you think he plays this whole game seriously or no way no no way right no I think he's just trying to keep a feel for it in case he plays it next round and I think he wants to I think he wanted to lock a ball to screw just Johnny Monica out of a skill shot do you know uh Tim Sexton's friend who he came with or yeah I thought I thought maybe since you're in Chicago no [Music] wait I'm saying win to the boy does that still work you just say it and then it happens yeah I don't have to give him ice cream now ice cream days are long gone I think Zach McCarthy's gonna get an ice cream tonight though did you have a chance to message with uh Kevin at all oh yeah Kevin and Laura were they watching I uh they weren't watching but I I took video of the final couple minutes and I sent it to him and I had pictures obviously and I was sexy the funny thing is uh during his run that qualified oh my god oh oh Johnny was just showing off one one thousand two one thousand three one okay you gotta do something now all right what do you think it looks awesome but when you get tired that brain freeze is is so uh Zach McCarthy's on his good run to qualify for the main tournament and his final game is on Turtles and he's blowing it up he is at 30 million he has already played his team up so he's under his second multiball he's got a seven million super episode yeah so he's reset his multi balls he's got a seven and a half million uh super lit he's still got three balls in play and the machine's hard crashes no way did you have a video anybody have ever so I had been taking pictures of it and and uh texting with Kevin and Laura saying oh he's at he's at 12. he's at 15. like he's looking good now he's at 22. but I only I only took a picture at like 12 million now we had we had viewers who we never met who are watching him play was it on stream no no C over 30 million everybody saw he had a score more than 30 million caring about that yeah scorebit Corbin had us Corbin had it the last score scorpion had was 28 million 500 and that's what they gave him wow I was gonna say he got to like he got to 40 something but can you imagine a game five oh man if you had like completely sources of people who you don't who no you wouldn't have take you wouldn't have made it right no isn't the ifpa all about doing the right thing now take a picture what's the play here we've all somehow colluded to make up a story yeah we need a legitimate what the score we've seen it with their own so there's two two things either a picture or if Zach and I are tding affidavit you need a TD that is marking so we do how is a TD any different than than Joe like you don't think they're qualified to know what the score on the screen is really really [Music] I got screwed I got screws this weekend but was anybody watching yeah oh yeah a lot of people I don't know I'd like to see you're not a Stern guy I'm like that's the other that's the other sharp I would like to see a black box for a pinball machine that would be uh you know what I mean like it it has a it stores it no matter what the accident we get to see how it all ended yeah all right let me go pay some people Carl we were just discussing the idea of uh pinball machines having a black box for uh hard crashes so that sort of like the score bit we were able to resurrect it was just about the same well that look sounds like scorpion yeah but something that like built into the machine itself just a hard register that's separate from Main logic you know you're pulling you're pulling a hundred times a second anyway it would be trivial to send the current score to a little hard register standalone so that you could then go back into the machine and see the fine the last score game state in certain states too well that would be the ultimate is if you store all all switch hits for the entire game yeah well wasn't that one of the deep root things if I'm not mistaken what was deep root I don't that wasn't a real thing well no the software they had written though had had really complete they actually wrote something actually well Steve already left unfortunately but you can't talk I remember hearing an interview that yes they had a complete log of every switch yeah that's uh that's the way to do it yeah then you can you can Replay Games and Stuff wheels are falling off in this group I think this by playing seven games of pinball for around it's uh it's a little long so what's going on it's it's 11 o'clock how you feeling time wise what do you mean by timeline like then we have to be don't we have to be done by noon uh midnight we need to be mostly closed by then they will be flexible with us so they're not I mean they shouldn't we may have some overage charges but we'll be okay and that comes out of the winners the winner's take or no because that's already been divvied up so it comes out of our main budget that we have oh I don't want you to happen we'll manage like And subscribe like And subscribe everybody chip in so we can stay late our final four are we are we set yet the other group's done what what are the two finalists let me uh pull it up because I know Esther's won but I don't know who the other one was esher and Raymond and Raymond oh what a surprise hey that was a tough group though with Colin and Zach yeah that was for really somebody had to be knocked out so so we got uh Escher and Raymond and Keith so is this ball too okay so Zach's got the lead basically whoever wins from the three of those guys uh is going through yep oh all right one ball I see a lot of I see a lot of fatigue out there yep is Keith's just gonna plunge and walk away he's gonna make a skill shot because you always want your skill shot on Taxi but uh he's still trying to find that 25 and he can't find it [Music] all right now he's trying to release the locked ball to give Johnny Monica a skill shot because he wants Johnny to go through all right he's opened it up that gives Johnny an extra three potential for 300 000. score doesn't matter so I'm not sure why he's still playing here foreign passenger Target on purpose that's a pretty useful shot but really hard to execute when he wants and want it it's not like a whole bonus on ball three where it Awards uh no it does nothing for you no because it's only related to your ability to collect the jackpot and after ball three there's no jackpots to be collected all right maybe he wants to give the uh the crowd a uh an actual jackpot so we can see one we haven't had one sure sure would it I mean yes we're all gonna clap yeah don't we want to hear the register come on Keith get it get up there it is oh come on this game refuses to give a jackpot all right back to back to Maryland it's gone [Music] I think it should be like laser cue and be more penalizing the longer you take to to re-light it like now you lose another passenger and then another one get back to zero one of those that sling is as sensitive as the swing can be all right come on jackpot's lit let's see does it come on Keith hit the jackpot yeah now walk away why would he not walk away now why is he playing people are heading out [Music] yeah he walked away but he did leave the lock open for Johnny all right now we're we're at the uh we're getting down to the bone yep all right who's it gonna be who's it gonna be Johnny Monica Zach sharper Christian to join Raymond descher and Keith now what do these get what do they get for a prizes what's the fifth grade uh fifth through eight is a small Subaru a small nft of uh the weekend all right the uh half a Bitcoin fit through eight 600 bucks each 600 that's like a hundredth of a Bitcoin then [Music] I'm pretty sure he wanted Johnny to have an extra 300 000 on Zach but that's just the theory [Music] but it only cost him an extra 225. oh that's oh that's spicy spicy one how did that not tilt [Music] the money oh nobody wants to do the ollie Miko I don't understand it yeah I just just Lane past ski Passover and I think the other one comes to a cradle trying to kill that momentum because it's a little yeah a little Saucy he was ready for that oh he's back to the Dilemma do you take the uh the 300 or do you take the jackpot [Music] all right take the 300. yeah there you go yeah he's not getting 300 though it's not really registered 225. oh never mind I don't know what I'm talking about what are you talking about snow I don't know what game is this 12. [Music] I I really think that Keith Keith cleared out the lock so that Johnny could have an extra 225 000 points on your brother that's what I'm thinking you're probably right yeah and he gave us a jackpot for the uh this is where Zach's like start the multiball so I can get an extra skill shot please Johnny don't leave it plugged yet wow that was awesome modified Biko rather backhanded my mind was there I was there with you I would have done it and regretted it as soon as I tried oh my God the music makes you think you gotta rush but you really don't yeah that's what the pinball sound Engineers man yeah that's why I wear headset the total noise canceling oh two in a row oh baby he earned it [Music] more cats in this game than you would think is that uh do we know what city this uh taxi taxi runs in it's got to be Chicago right because it's clearly if you look at the hubcaps right here of the taxi it is a Williams taxi oh you like that yeah I didn't notice that before so you guys have been harboring uh Cold War uh wait even they even have Sky taxis over here oh so it's in the same it's in the same universe as The Jetsons in Clinton I'm so confused now [Music] gives the Southern California guys a little bit of hope that's been kind of a dry year for them only because all of them have been working non-stop for 175 hours to put this thing together Carl D'Python Anghelo Bob Matthews Jay Collins man you started naming people yeah name them all Dave Hill Dave Hill Dave balanski helped us a lot with the EM Josh Sharpe I have PA team coming out my three desk helpers which are here forever uh Mark vandong Jonathan soon and Kate Martin who's with him really stepping up and that row bottom it's wrong that's why I don't like naming names I forget that's right yeah that's right and everyone else we forgot we appreciate everyone's efforts there you go that's the catch-all you got you got everyone we couldn't do it without you hey I always say nobody gets Rich playing pinball except the winner of the next round wow look at that that was old anti-gor bead that was some old Zack right there [Music] oh and is he aware that he can stop right he can he can cradle in this game it's allowed no no no no no no no no no how did he miss it way late like by the time the flipper dropped it was long gone oh foreign what's the score so oh no oh that sling at some point you gotta talk to yourself in the airport I'm sorry look at that that's good stuff Josh Anderson I've already passed Donnie score Spike driving to the airport is it gonna stop for a second he is wow all right there we go is he okay do we gotta check for heart attack stroke oh it gets boned oh no oh look at that boat Santa boned Zach sharp will finish the tournament and fit through a get a complimentary fruit basket in a year and a year supply of the Andy Rosa walk-off story is that that missed Santa hole cost in the game because he clearly would have made the jackpot shot at afterwards yeah there you go if anybody can come back and do this wow that was so fast it might have just drained for me down the left in Lane I don't even think I would have had it you know I think his reflexes are just fine I don't see any impairment whatsoever control group oh that's not like this how do we go back to demo now [Music] all right we've got our final four very good it went Zach gone I'm gone y'all alrighty I guess we uh grab someone dance with a new partner thanks for being here Josh safe travels May the covid stay off you and may all your children prosper we got uh Jordan and Shane in the booth Colorado Colorado representing in every uh good to be here nearly every uh every finals uh you she played some of these games you had yeah some uh I've played everything that's about to get picked all right we've seen so many games because that last group went through almost all of them who's uh who's driving the bus uh Keith oh azure is he not [Music] he was first seat oh Chris Christian who just got eliminated so yes Esther is driving the bus the only game he hasn't picked yet is Robo Wars so he has to pick it and then he's free to pick the last two from the entire Bank yep interesting we just watched Robo Wars the ramp wall mostly unhittable some uh Johnny actually was able to hit the ramp pretty regularly oh I'm curious oh all right Snow's gonna leave us for a moment Jordan and I are gonna hold the yeah no problem oh he thought he need to start four players was that only one player there I guess all right this isn't one of his first 20 rodeos probably been to a hundred rodeos by now I would say so yeah the right flipper why does he get a hundred thousand points yeah I think I think we're about to does that seem like too much so the right flipper can make the ramp yeah um it needs to be really clean and if you kind of do what you what you saw on roller games right you really got to throw your body into it then I'd rather than as much of an issue Johnny had a uh Johnny had no trouble hitting that ramp last uh we just watched this just a few minutes ago Johnny's really got those magic hands though the whole cans and uh and the under the under the Playfield release was about one for three on average like you really you'd hit it a few times nothing nothing and then finally it would eventually so is anybody anybody going for the short plunge on this uh I haven't seen any no way too valuable to uh to finish your lanes we might not even playing Robo War just did it again on when they reset what's uh what what gives a hundred uh that's gonna be something pretty major nothing's down no Lanes there did it give the car is the RF solid yeah everything's still solid up there no I think it spots you the R by default Oh you mean the robo War yeah but there's nothing that would have Here Comes Jim with his magic well bag of tricks kill it all right so let's go prizes again what are we up to first place is gonna be 6 800. oh my goodness second place is 4 200. oh my goodness third place is 2900 yeah and fourth place is 1300. yeah it should be 5500 difference What's the total of those four uh a lot over 10 grand at least a thousand yeah 14.5 right around there so a hypothetical if they were all split it evenly that would be what that's totally nice but you know these are IPA checks I don't know how you're going well obviously you hope the person with the lowest tax yeah I mean it's about three and a half Grand per person and and obviously if they were to split they would they would work out the uh the tax implications have said split so now we're going to see the inside of the robots oh and the good news is the IRS is on the East Coast so they're probably obviously yeah it's at a different angle or something I hope it looks oh you think still has it up you mean like it's not fully in the rails oh please don't let us get a phantom hundred thousand on you know ball three player four please no [Music] Point yeah you have to stay up late to get great payouts and pinball that's not uncommon uh pinberg was over by 5 PM no he was usually going until like eight at five to eight same difference in goodburg John but that's still not very late this is this is late all right that's your Johnny Keith Raymond let's see uh let's see what the boys got left and I think let's see how is he gonna tap how's he getting from left to right he's going to shots so he's abandoning and he's abandoning the ram no just from the left you just go up top oh it looks like a little flipper hop as well so unfortunate missing that Lit spinner it's still lit it's still lit any uh two spins yeah two spins twenty thousand if you got that beat every time I I don't dislike the uh up top all day the pops aren't that deadly um really the biggest issue is going to be the left out lane from the pops and all right let's see if it registers yeah it did yep all right let's go for some multi bonus [Music] oh that was the ball's like passed in the night but didn't actually interfere with you there they ran into each other wow it's so hard to get to a cradle on this in Robo War the way the ball's that's gone yeah we saw one miraculously self-save itself oh the anti-self-save and now that now it's even we're back to zero snake bit there from the boy maybe uh Pitbull God's laid minus 180 against stasher thinking you see that Ray Ray it was yeah the outer return Lane you know sometimes like on skate ball that happens you don't that's the first time I've seen it on this we've watched quite a bit of Robo War so I wonder what that was that was unlucky and it's unfortunate because it's really the most important shot on the game that you can't shoot right I mean ten thousand to spend yeah so you're ready to line up that shot and all of a sudden you don't have a ball anymore [Music] he's got it down that flipper looks strong now yeah only for Johnny though nobody else has been able to hit it consistently like that [Music] oh shots transfer here it's hard but it works nope I think that was an attempt at a slay oh nice on the fly yeah that was good stuff all right I'm uh I'm heading out for a while we're gonna get uh Zach McCarthy because we gotta have at least two coloradans in the booth at all times that's one of the rules sure world champion is that carthy will be joining us for some W-9 for some uh Robo Wars so uh have a good evening uh internet go out and play some uh location pin peace thanks a lot Adam thanks Adam all right so Keith stepping up player three Flipper's a little weak for Keith though not as clean it made the corner yeah he made the corner Johnny went right up there yeah that's true magic hands man so we are on Robo War ball one oh I don't want to fly Nails it it's just two shots to every multiball and you want to shoot for these little X to move around yeah follow the X so he's got his X up to three and now let's see if he yeah yep goes for some drops yeah oh what was that oh he tilt it he tilt it oh wow well I don't know there's no bonus I gave us so I think he also tilt it the light stayed on so I don't know if it was tight on this one yeah and a little inconsistent as well there's very little bonus in till ball three because that's when you collect your multi bonus do you think he was going for that drop or do you think he was trying to write orbit and just went a little early I'm guessing right orbit yeah yeah that seems a little I mean there is another play here you can always try to do the three two one and that lights your extra ball up top for 500k right it's not bad points like single ball though yeah I mean you can get it you can get an empty wall too whoa oh that's another throw okay oh so it actually said so okay so maybe maybe yeah yeah oh I wasn't watching I thought it was a reset the crap with the music stopped the robots have declared war on poor Carl all right not a lot going on in ball one really I mean one lit spinner shot could put you in first no matter where you are right so does this till Bob even allow for a earplug mod because some of these Godly premieres just have like a hanger from them a rivet I was told every game had an eggplug except for Joker poker Joker poker cannot that's an electronic tilt well also the way it hangs it's from a rivet well not in this Joker oh really unfortunately no actual tilt inside there it is an electronic map no kidding it's bizarre how do you adjust it I I have no idea so we were talking about tilt bombs and uh pressure or yeah unfortunately did not get to play very long just had the drain bow top right top right swing okay so that's the problem you go you go up top I really like the short Plunge in this game I don't think it's that valuable I'd rather be in multiball true and if you find if you find the plunge the key is you have to have a short short one like you can't have it go high short time right because that's gonna go straight down the middle yeah [Music] almost well there's a rubber there he gets that back I find I find this game very very satisfying right now because it's going fast something tells me the next two are going to be a little bit longer dude all right so Keith is stepping up in second place it looks like yeah these are not very big scores I still think one spinner in here first yeah unfortunately you can't you can't yeah there's nothing you can do about it I need the right hand lane so yeah there's a good ramp [Music] and you don't get the Playfield validation when you block them all right it's only at the start of your ball no actually in this this era of got leaves uh if you drain down the middle even if you're having to switch your ball's over here okay yeah so yeah I learned that the hard way oh nice that was a beautiful let's see oh it gives them the ball like it should that was a great nudge off this little poster right here and get it bounced back in when it matter most who doesn't want to get the lock up there yeah the player four right I mean one way to get rid of that is you if you tilt trying to save it then the ball comes out oh that's a good call yeah not um okay he collects a multi-bonus of 100 Grand not bad every every ramp shot you make during multiball is going to give you that multi bonus that's currently at 150 000 or 175 000 correct now he's got his multiplier up to 5x so that multiplies the value that gets added to it from every drop Target from here on out not interested in the surprising because that's I think he thought it was going out like a little earlier than it was so foreign [Music] [Laughter] the Tilt is a little tight I mean I mean but hitting the if you hit the cabinet way up high it's it's a it's fine [Music] give it a little love tap oh well all two I don't blame him it's a five thousand dollar difference between fourth and first so that's true I mean you want to risk that on a cabinet I would give it a little tiny tap up there just to see if it'll be enough maybe you flip the flippers yeah [Music] flip the flippers for like a minute or two see if you can really just get the momentum of just like the little tiny pumps [Music] so he's just gonna go up top here again then probably on that right lane foreign this is the interesting part is that I'm more of a mindset as a TD to put the ball back on the flipper where the shot came from so in this case oh no oh no oh no oh dear God well at least we know what it was we don't have to throw it out I believe there's a uh there's an emoji of Carl's look right there [Laughter] are please put that emoji in chat of Carl with his head on his forehead an exasperation all right I have to step out really quickly to finish out a tax form bummer bummer for Zach unfortunately um so yeah I'll see who fills in for a second hey save the scores so yeah we have him anyway but still that was yeah that's correct everything the can and will there are XL shirts and those are bins right behind you oh but I don't know who's marking down that you got your shirt so check with Damian's kind of been spearheading that but probably not I mean yeah that's that's pinball I mean it's it sucks to lose your progress but that's yeah only if you got all three did you get all three I think that they did have the looks like there was some kind of tape or something involved too because he was just like threw his hands up just like what it shouldn't have done this yeah so and they're not doing any modification I know in the main bank during qualifying there was a slam tilt and I saw it Jim tape it up because it wasn't taped so I think it was just an unfortunate Godly door closed do we remember what the multi bonus was it was 200 something at last oh yeah at least 175 I think it's yeah close to 200 so 175 to 200 but you know based on it's pinball ifpa rules you know you don't get to keep that this Keith was which the tap the cabinet oh yeah right yes it's just a waterfall of I've seen the previous comment the butterfly effect oh listen that's Robo War for laughing at you okay not enough oh yeah oh he's gonna open the door again somebody have a quarter over under on uh will it shut down here we go oh yeah well done okay any stuck ball is going to reset the game oh boy [Music] oh boy well the good news is on Pinball Magic did Jim took out the in-lane post who had the uh over 1.5 for malfunctions in this game in the chat did anybody cash in on that the parlay okay do high stakes anyone remember what the first game that went down in Classics uh Target was I'm legitimately asking because I don't remember well a very important thing for us was it why is there a coin involved there is a coin involved what's the first one to break a game yes first person to be first the player four in the first uh game to be removed there were foreign okay you were in Jim's group that that helped me tremendously not just photographs so look at this okay possible no that doesn't say yeah okay no they intentionally tilted out players one and two and now player three will play from from here it's an easier way sure yeah okay but Mr stuck balls up now here we go did we hey I didn't think to get a screen grab with their scores before they they had a picture of them yeah yeah I'm sure they didn't have it right so yeah we're just waiting for zmac to come back he's filling up the W9 that's what happens when you win thousands of dollars and prizes they're being a new world champion absolutely nice live catch oh we changed how did that ball just stop right there it's a fast post transfer oh and down the left Outlet yeah I think he had the Back Spin and then the rubbers are still pretty grippy when did they put the whole the locker back in on that all right Rady's stepping up oh oh great safe thing oh a little early we'll fall oh we got zmac back another you're stepping in Jeff yeah Ray has found that chance to be quite useful there and you do not get to steal the loss now he's done so he got his t-ball multiball going let's see how long it lasts and not very not very long at all well back to the ramp it seems a good reason stubby Godly flippers yeah it's the ball like barely has enough power to get up there so any any sort of Miss at all it's just yeah has no chance there it is and that's the way it should be for this game otherwise it's too easy to drive [Music] sweet groovy Tunes yeah this Godly there they just really nailed it when it comes to musical sound I want to nail some of those drops also nail this x with X which is going to move yeah already gone yeah that was an interesting coat pass there I'm not sure what he was going for maybe the drop oh interesting foreign to agree on that but so what does Lane completion do in this game it will give you a roller War letter I believe I thought what does the robo or letter do uh it gives you bonus and if you spell them all out it will light special oh interesting power surge Danny oh oh there we go oh drops on that one 200 000 for that spoon and that ball is gone it's fine though like you said earlier Two Shots away from multiball at all times right let's see if he can survive the pops gets the feet out the right that's preferred or not yeah he's fine now come here comes the shots into the gate oh yeah wow that's a good call oh wait oh there we go it was just a late registration it gave him all the points yeah swept the drops and go spinner right the dream [Music] ah what a fantastic ball for Raymond yeah 400 000 bonus Delta III is getting wrecked I don't know okay and for those just tuning in Azure does not have zero Asher has already played his ball one has about 400 000 points yep my prior reset so what are they doing about the uh that's why the tip right there that's the dangerous tip so often because The Godly flippers and their stubbiness you can't really let it wait like you would Yeah the more pointed flippers so you do it a little early it still has a lot of Hoops and just flip yourself out the left swish down the left lane okay here comes Johnny who seems to just every time he shoots that ramp it has no trouble but you don't even have to get the ramp right now oh wait no you can't steal this you have to shoot a ram first I think the logic the game does remember that [Music] let's see if it looks like a ramp is up though right it does yeah hit it [Music] so I think it's maybe you just have to hit the target in the back and then do it again that could be yeah it's weird that there's two different like virtual lock States then right man Johnny's in love with those beta drop targets or oh wow my goodness jumped right over the center yeah nice little airball there [Music] okay so he was early he's corrected the Justice now he's now there comes yeah so Jenny knows yeah now he's got the release No early and release boom now it's time to get the multi-bonus party going oh no more deep on it but he did get interesting you tried to bump it off the inside too try to get one like the wiggle in that's true that way yeah instead of like the typical just go here there I don't think I've ever seen it successful off the middle right yeah I mean no no rubber on either side right just take a guess and hope you can get it back in you cheat Dr Jones so Keys ball after like one and a half balls before the reset he was at 1.2 million second place but really three Spinners away three lip centers away going for the pose transfer now yes part of the game is just figuring out how do you transfer from the left to the right there's there's not a lot of good ways to do it yeah on ball one he was uh doing the right orbit and then it looked like he was a little early and then he just gave up on that entirely so then he switched to the post transfer fell off the ramp stuck in the game resets it goes up there and falls off the ramp cleanly he's feeling snake bit on Robo War yeah man good job you deserve that in Lane dead bounce yeah and then that looked like a good shot but not quite oh man there we go back where he wants it boom nope oh a little late oh he's got it and we try again yeah there we go finally third time's a charm trip and survives [Music] wow hit the drop Target and people had enough to get up there and Rattle and hit the stand up in the back [Music] beautiful get that spinner it's still lit you know open for a ride in Lane somehow okay up to 110k oh there it is crazy she hit that ball into it yeah after it rejected wow oh here comes come on rip it there we go started at 1.5 yeah still scoring [Music] so now he's past Raymond [Music] yep he is now ahead of Raymond and he is backing up those Robo War letters there's a couple drop targets yeah I just go back to ramp during multiball here oh sorry go ahead Jeff so just to let you know when Raymond is done he will be done his ball three you're gonna see them take the glass off and put all the balls in in the down the center so that multi bonus can be awarded because it won't award until the end of all three oh yeah so when that happens that's what's going on yeah I forgot about that yeah so they have to open the door again oh yes yeah instead just take just take a snapshot and then yeah you know don't count any of the switches yeah but if it slam tilt the multi bonus is dead anyway well that's what I'm saying so don't open the door I know just plunge it and then we can deduct easier to do math than start a new game yeah I don't know I read a book recently that said uh tired humans are stupid humans I think we're all pretty tired right now and adequately stupid so what does Raymond need to pass Keith here [Music] well we don't know what his multi bonus is subscribe for another update okay to award the multi bonus what you're gonna see after Raymond's ball which is ball three right he's the last player is they're going to do the scores plunge the ball softly just to drain it they will subtract any points but they will be awarded their multi-bonus yeah okay gotcha gotcha because if they take off the glass you know what happens yeah no some guy betting me over under on uh failures three is all ticked off so he's got a multi bonus of close to 400 000 now so every if he can shoot the ramp oh no oh my god wow yeah if that wire form is having just enough Bend and GAP to it there to let it fall off on a soft shot which it often is it turns the corner yeah that's a shame because he could have done 400 000 per round there it is and so we don't know it's a mystery how much heat has a multi bonus so Ray's gonna have to keep playing until he thinks he might have yeah that's gonna be close let's see wow what were the friar scores right so yeah so Keith had 1.2 Ray had about 400 000 right so that's 800 000 difference and right now raise up 600 000. so so yeah this is multi bonus 200 000 more than Keith exactly correct yeah correct and it might be Keith was focusing on the spinner there so yeah those drops I don't know if he was hitting them too much there Keith lost that 175 on the first ball 200 yeah so yeah before pre-reset that is ah pinball oh we have Adam Adam left off deliberating now so he's somebody's hiring The Firm of lefkoff to represent them in the deliberations let's see what's going on on the chat we don't have a chat up here all right I know there's a lot of math going on on taxi right now yeah Adam's back in it again okay you got Bob and Bob and Jim and Carl or no sir Bob and Jim and Keith are all over there doing some math see that's why Mystery Castle was so good you didn't have any Maps you didn't know the score until then there was no math yeah just dancing skeletons yeah just dancing skeletons and you didn't even know your score half the time you didn't even know your score you know it's gonna whatever you get it's gonna be double or got in the way exactly oh oh previous so Ray only had 87kow in the chat thank you Neil w so we had 450 for player one 324 for player two Keith at player three was 1.256 and player four Raymond is 87K so I believe again I was the only one who kind of lost that multi bonus right yeah correct yeah he thought it was around the 200 marks exactly would that be a factor we'll see we might have to roll back the chat or does Jim till oh no he's not gonna tilt through the balls got plenty of time well if you tilt it you're not going to see the multi bonus that was for player two yeah they have the scores oh the short ones just tilting away one and two because they just they didn't have I guess they didn't need the telephone wasn't big enough he could have oh it does I guess you can't I guess he can't yeah I think it's only the initial ball start though if you lock a ball I don't think you get the flash okay so that's interesting you can one switch Robo War I guess I think so yeah Ray had a pretty long multiball I think his was 400 600 000 somewhere in that range why not matter yeah yeah it's not gonna matter yeah we gave him 300K more than he really has yeah Keith is up by one point so he's got the win I think he's got him you know oh it was 370. yeah all the score what do you think Chad high stakes and a disc Keith took first with four points Raymond's second with two points and then let's yeah yeah we were so focused on one and two what's up with three and four yeah so prior scores it was 451 for Escher 324 for Johnny and their current scores were not that much so I think eschers was 130k advantage it's hindsight now but to get back into this game probably would have made sense to tilt the first six balls oh wait yeah I know Johnny got him right yeah yeah luckily you told them in time about the the glass right so he didn't slam tilt again that would have been awful I know but The Bookies in Vegas because Escher has picked everything so his yeah guesses have been replenished um why is his nose bleeding oh so yeah he's already picked all the pins and so now he can he can pick whatever he wants now yeah he didn't pick Joker poker but it went down on him so he didn't have to pick that one but picked everything else in previous rounds and I'm guessing we'll have the same order here um I don't see any reason to be different but we'll see things yeah nobody knocked out yet yeah no real reason to go first on Tron we're good to go no locks no no Advantage nope say tomorrow is going to be in just a few minutes 14 minutes away yeah for a lot of the viewers it's already tomorrow yeah all right I'm gonna try to hit that left ramp to get his light cycle and tombow party started rallying around those Zeus Targets on either side there we go oh light Cycle's not lit though because the side ramp was his first shot no couldn't cast your friend of the line well the other thing this I think is set up on hard so you don't get it after three lights like right you need four yeah [Music] oh the dead bounce is looking pretty friendly right about now oh yeah wow what a shot it's the e in Zeus shot or sorry U because it's z-u-s-e sorry oh he almost was trying to drop catch out of the scoop there yeah that's interesting yeah the dead bounce is so friendly yeah that scoop is fast it's one of the fastest I think I've played of a Tron I can't get much faster really no all right so he's going for his super his double super yep go for that and then at the same time you're also collecting progress towards Cora multi-bone so for a second light cycle if he gets there he'll need to hit every single one um on the play field yep correct nice combo no spots and the line 2.3 now that'd be really nice to take into a multiball right about now all right one more time end of Line's 2.8 already yeah don't bother going for any multiball jackpots just yeah 2.8 already there's the air bounce so nice almost a little rattle he's one shot away from each of the two um scoot multiballs here looks like he's going for Cora first every time so consistent out of that scoop now a little squirrely around the flippers there everybody's back under control going for that core shot again oh no that was a life cycle I don't hate it yeah I mean no I'd rather do the quora because that light cycle puts it in the pops and I'd rather and it pops I mean and the perfect yeah yeah power in Lane thank you in Lane guys yeah still working on two dangers too so can't really do much yeah we gotta take what the game's giving them but Alex but she's gonna Focus now on getting that last chorus shot oh for sure I don't think that's coming back there it is as you save the life cycle I don't I don't think so I think light cycles lies he did yeah wow that's a lot of Grace units there yeah I don't know if the animations or the other things also kind of the animation queuing in Tron so if you do other things like the end of line if that's positive no I don't think so okay uh Joe Hills thanks for the raid welcome we're on the second the uh two of game oh my gosh it's so late three game match here this is the second of three high stakes finals here at indisk 2022 first place is for six thousand eight hundred dollars one of these four players is walking away with sixty eight hundred dollars after this game and one more yep and assuming no tiebreaker correct assuming no typing yeah correct let's all hope we've been uh having some competitive pinball now for about 15 and a half hours today it's been a long day it's been a long day it has been a good day she's one letter away from his double scoring too yeah if you could stack that in with this yeah yeah that'd be cool for it yep there it is well on the right yep oh hmm that was an interesting um yeah I could have could have held it but yeah I mean I guess when you're feeling it he gets both a double and a chorus that gem shot that was a big shot oh no must have just ended no double bonus for him yeah he got still yeah 10 million photos nice all right so Escher just needs disc I believe now and then he can start see a simulation correct I don't think he's gonna shoot for disc though one more Coral light cycle and then maybe we can talk about it yeah I mean I get some uh combos going in single ball play yeah start one of those multi balls chain him and go into line all those bonuses and see the simulations are pretty juicy though yeah and I think he's probably done with all of them right yeah oh did he get a gem during the hurry up I know he he got a gem I don't think he finished yeah one of them was flashing okay ironically I don't want to call them finishing clue yeah all right Johnny Cash in we'll end the line for 1.2 more shots for life cycle one more shot for life cycle does the U combo into the gym yeah the post pass is not easy on this game [Music] see if John is going to do the dead bounce yo oh yeah too consistent that's the best yeah ever because a lot of times it'll sometimes be controllable on the left sometimes not this goes back to a safe yeah every time every night I haven't seen it fail anybody yet all right he gets the super can you get a double uh doesn't look like it we went away from Cora stress double scoring gets that back he gets that back oh wow Johnny's sad about that I can't see it all right but he can get a last second triple here or double oh yep you're right yeah I'm trying after the multi while you have like one chance at it correlate now as well oh well deserved range yeah a little fatigue there does the defensive hold the flipper up and try to defend from the slings but Just Bounce right into the tip of it so if Keith gets there on the court an interesting thing he was doing he was just doing a little soft plunge to hit it into the gem shot so do you get the Super Jackpot right at the beginning hit it with his palm goes up hits the gym and just got like four or five supers in a row wow early double scoring too I keep oh almost gets his double but not quite plenty of time left on the double scoring yeah it still has one that was almost that was almost simultaneous yeah well worth the dictation danger to make sure you keep on playing take the free clue start that bounce is over that's why so many trons out there you see that you target bent halfway into the coral Lane yeah and Keith has a similar ball to Johnny gonna end up here probably about 12. look at that yep 240 away Ray takes the quick sideways skill shot and the little the early base into line jackpot can't get an earlier ended line than that successful post transfer an immediate flip to the left ramp much better post transfer there a little late and a little early so logic says next one's perfect a little early on the gem shot but gets it in the end hey there we go very reminiscent upper flipper control there of a mystery castle yeah he's gonna hold it up have it go up the loop try the shots again yep nice all right starts his life cycle with the end of line pick something in qualifying of finals like you could not cancel the end of line and to cancel the light cycle animation during qualifying I would Jack on the boat flippers and I wouldn't cancel it maybe oh my God nice maybe an inadvertent fix but I know Jim removes some rubbers put pick some posts up tighten the tilt after qualifying so maybe something along the line oh no this is so so textbook here yeah this is this is exactly how you want to play light cycle it's going to be one or two away from lighting core right yeah yeah very effective light cycle let's see that is it going to show us the total oh okay now 6.7 6.7 with a you know well his his End of Line wasn't that big because he started his light cycle pretty quick so he virtually doubled up drawing and Keith and esher sitting way up on the Mountaintop yeah at 77. Players two three and four though still haven't pulled the trigger on their core yet and really most you see a lot of points coming from not only the jackpots but also you get your bonus X as well so so something to consider with Usher um is if he can finish Zeus and clue and then get a disc super he would have a 50 million collect yeah portal I mean that's not that far off and you can double it and you can double it for 100 million and that would be awesome but looks like he's uninterested it's just getting kind of blind already has the tumbler running so okay 1.7 into lines 3.4 double play field back in clue again yeah that Coral Lane It's relatively easy to shoot from a cradle on this particular Tron right oh yeah yeah yeah that move independent only takes one but since he just did one probably didn't have time to fully Settle yeah even with the earplugs but he's still attacked on another 11 mil yeah didn't finish clue though did not so it's it's gonna be very hard to get that 50 million collect at this point you know he's just gonna grind out end of line out I guess yeah we're gonna bring in another quora because it can't be too far away so yeah Esther you're doing a good job here of trying to claw his way back into this match taking the bagel on game one you can uh get a four here and be right back in this thing really though with these caliber players I mean they still have two balls to play oh yeah yeah that's true I mean we've seen qualifying scores above 200. I think Grand yeah well I think Raymond was the top qualifier in this game with like a 240 or something so granted the posts have been changed exactly that's a very good point yeah America okay Johnny and Cora Are You Gonna Save that of all nope he's gonna catch yeah take at least one right yep and Corey you have two out of balls that can be collected on the center Bank three shots in each and he needs to hit it twice he's got plenty of time yeah oh just once yep he's fine and shooting that uh shot I think he kind of ricocheted in there so now his only option to add more balls would be to stack light cycle into this but she's only one life cycle away anymore not anymore that's just unfortunate Johnny really didn't do anything wrong there just oh a little girl yeah a little pilot area there yeah a bunch of fatigue right little early on the scoop kick out and then didn't react to drop the left flipper in time right so yep right flipper that's a good one always spend one to make sure you can get that cradle a little early oh man no problem post transfer disk yeah definitely a right orbit I mean progress for light cycle yeah and the lining quora a little late again he will have the opportunity to plunge start Cora um I think you gotta take that right I mean there's not no reason not to I don't think for his lips and extra ball extra ball is three million I believe nice what a save oh no all right wow I only gave him one back that's fun yeah double score I've seen a lot of that oh my goodness yeah nice it gets it nice Revival so double scoring lit not interested in shooting it though just wants to get the points right Ray took a two on game one so he doesn't necessarily need a four on this one during the ball save I would have liked to have started that double score yeah true and now it's on the bumpers so now opportunity's not there unless he hits more pop-ups change it but that's a one in three chances right take it oh he's still going light even though it just burned I'm he's still gonna try to use the sling oh beautiful great control there both of them oh yeah double scoring going there it is that would have been so nice to get still has two balls though still a multiball no more double scoring no more Super pops but although he did just change it yeah he did change it back to double scoring but unfortunately yeah go for the disc oh oh sling said you're done so what's that nice nice another 10 million bonus uh yeah lots of lots of gem shots so Ray now within reasonable Striking Distance so that's your score yep a little bit of jail though right I mean he needs to start just at the light cycle yeah just but no progress on disc at all right they made it harder they made it harder since qualified I don't know any disc shots from any player in this game so oh they made the disc harder I believe yeah okay to the disc or the wall or both uh I think the desk I'm not sure about the wall but interestingly enough they've all been smacking the Zeus targets but they haven't had to do yeah not a single players finished Zeus but that you've been getting some love yeah helping out a lot oh Carl so I guess our view switched for a second um luckily you guys saw what happened we did not okay Asher almost puts up 100 at 95. and now Johnny is only one point from game one really needs to put in a very strong ball here to remain in this match to give himself a chance for the win he is for that sweet sweet 6800 first prize he is close on that light cycle um just one more away I always he tried to I think he tried to do his little short plunge there to get the spinner for the credit of the right orbit but a little too short take a quora comboing identity you know Johnny showed a little bit of fatigue last ball but that drop catch shows he's still here to play trying to get it out of there um [Music] but he did the right thing there just trying to get it out before yeah was in that area yeah and even even gave it an extra something and it still just found a way out yeah all right so Keith has Cora multiball ready yup and he tried to plunge it get that started a little hard oh perfect yeah so watch now we're gonna see keys the palm of his hand for the plunge is the out of ball yep there it is right there so he's trying to just do he's trying to manually plunge the ball to have it not go fully up the orbit the trigger the gem shot to give him the Super Jackpot huh so watch here you're gonna see him use his hand for the man there it is there it is oh my gosh shoe super is just like that nice play that's impressive yeah honestly I don't think I've ever seen somebody try that I've tried to do it uh pulling into plunger but not yeah smacking it with my hand that was that was really well done going for his last light cycle on that left orbit beautiful yeah I'd probably hit that orbit I think he was going for it yeah really late yeah oh he did it like a little flutter there oh man it's like a little flipper flutter to try to at least live catch or throw it back just up so Keith has passed Johnny yep guaranteed a point guaranteed a point going to five no progress on horror though right now tons of shots unlikely he'll be able to stack them but I mean you never know I mean to stay alive for a little bit right yeah oh or not ouch okay so he's in jail oh he's going for disc and the first shot to this the first shot to discuss we see all all game straight down the middle but still one point five points after two it's something yeah fantastic right I'm interested to see what Raymond does here um I would present he's gonna go for a disc but it's scary right now right yeah I mean I don't think you can go for oh he'll get a six million no aggregate bonus for the first three items from C but then he's gonna get into Zeus yeah and single ball play having to clear those four stand-ups so that was interesting he tried to live catch that one he's going for he's definitely just going for a light cycle again yeah yep yeah I did the same thing I do light cycle Cora side ramp to also build up your end of line right it's in your hands then right like if you shoot the disc I mean it's going to spin around throw the ball out there with ball spin but I mean light cycle four I mean it's all in your hands right there's one shot that left orbit for the light cycle goes into the pops so it's a little bit out of your hands but I mean everything else is so controlled with it and I mean there's Enterprise jackpots are you know getting up to like a million attack now but like if he keeps going at it like oh great effort though so four one five four yes [Applause] very interesting four one five four all ever there's actually even uh Johnny even has an out uh does he I think someone has to at least have a six yeah oh yeah so unfortunately Johnny Johnny okay yeah you're right Johnny can still get second though right no he can't get seconds yeah yeah so Johnny stole Phil has a lot to play for here spread from second to Fourth into talking twenty four hundred dollars something like that maybe two thousand dollars like fourteen hundred it's fourth place there's a lot of money in this match right now yeah so even Johnny not out of it yeah foreign good choice because that takes care of your first trick off the pawn yep now your second trick is at the Captain's ball and unfortunately he finds the outline we saw the same thing from Escher earlier in the high stakes round though about 20 million on ball one and then 800 million on ball two 1.3 billion on ball three couldn't finish all the tricks to the 500 million for completing and beating the lady yeah I mean this game can just it can go if it's going right it can go so right but if it's going wrong right [Music] captive ball he's a little late there irony Oh I thought he failed it yeah wow yeah I thought he nailed that what I think it happened I think it was probably mostly post right here right got that left side post so we're thinking fishtails right where you think you hit the cap the ball and get the super but it just definitely needs you and yeah it didn't go far up enough all right Keith does a dead bounce he's also going to find another captable he's now taking out some magic targets which will light his lock see how he handles this dead bounce for sure yeah oh it's nicer now it's safe enough okay earlier in the weekend it would bounce up into the sling and go out of control yeah not saying the bottom of the sling there right there it is second trick absolutely drilled it third trick here is the little Center Loop yeah oh I almost got it back that right out lane in this game yeah so close to the balls about two hours ago this post right here was actually a post this little hole in the Playfield oh Jim Jim took a wrench to it once we started losing games knowing that knowing that uh can't just have the long players in there so wow oh no where's the ball safe yeah on these old capcoms there's no no grace period if that light goes out you're just looking at like the old sega's right so if that light's not on when the balls of the trough you don't get the ball so I've seen that before too if you drain early you want it to go down the center if you get those outline drains then rude no one running away with it fall one yeah so we're still chasing the tricks right yeah Pinball Magic won the first ball that's the captive yep no reason not to take that it's gonna give them a nice controlled feed Down The Habit trail to the right flipper hold the right flipper up either comes to a trap or you gotta do a little little microwave a little too late next one is the left ramp it's kind of like to see a player go for some of those stand-up targets to light their locks right yeah we're gonna do a three ball multiball and I'd like to see them juice up the jackpot value yeah for the three ball though you got to do the Five bank twice right if I make one's like light a ball well you can do the three Bank twice if you want oh true that's true and you can use your flipper button to change would you yeah exactly what you need so a little more all right so his next trick is he needs two loops and he's just gotten it and now he needs that ramp again did an extra loot for good measure a little early get that back even better going for the left uh Left Bank now right because I believe that's how you let your Kickback as well correct yeah so two birds one stone now but the Kickbacks correct all right so this next one he needs to drop it into those two holes one of those a little early so that's fine just another ramp shot second attempt third attempt there it is all right so now he's back going through them um he needs to do something different for each of the I got one of the three Bank targets too for good measure well that was the trick oh he's going for the going for the kickback maybe well that was the trick was to shoot that Target Bank yeah but then he shot him yeah he shot it again oh yeah sure because yeah right yeah I like to make it the very top one the one that needs to be hit because then it's closest to your ramp absolutely yeah oh yeah again that post out now it's a completely different ball game on the right it felt so safe before but I think he even moved the outline post up one position as well yeah anywhere near that and you're in trouble yeah got something done at least 136. you have to completed his first phase of tricks um so any future tricks are going to be 20 million and then if he completes that phase 30 million that dead bounce now compared to before I mean night and day difference you get a full cradle on the right education enough nice [Music] keep it on the Fly and almost paid for it there we go that's the stage feed to the right flipper last time holding it up bit him a little bit so we'll see he tries it again or yeah a little expected go for that ramp again yep foreign yeah oh yeah yeah have we seen a ball that did not end in the right out lane yet [Music] um I think somebody took it down Europe Raymond took it down the middle oh that's right yeah but even before the post coming out there were a lot of balls that went into that yeah but at least you had a chance right you had a little more rattles like you're more traditional how you see an outline happen like two bounces and harder reads but now it's just if it goes to the right it's just the space there is so much all right again one million just something about the animations nobody's fighting on the multiball opportunity it just seems like everyone is chasing tricks this game right maybe those targets are just a little too risky to go for or something I mean with that right out Lane right if you're shooting across this way it's just asking to go this way right I mean I almost like the the center Bank a little more from like a backhand because you know more shots but you don't have to worry more down the middle drains right the Tilt isn't that bad you have to bounce on these Capcom so all right he has a two ball lit on the um hat ah well done let's send the roof trick now we're back at the left ramp yeah and right outline well whatever Tim did to this it seemed to have done the trick yeah all right player four ball two so hopefully random gets to play a little bit longer and first of all we should not give him much love I'm all false is gone now so Ray will know that he needs to make a save like ball one [Music] Ray's gonna hold it up right of course nice bailout goes for the ramp oh nice patience so confident a little early there yeah I was just thinking I feel like everybody's on that shot so we're gonna have to feed him the ball from the lock back yeah yeah not used to it coming out on the left but brand new it was coming all right it just needs to finish phase one that's weird yeah why didn't I don't think the wand was all the way over yeah he wasn't ready for the diversion yet too fast that's uh all of our competitors one Pinball Magic five on the on the right out lane there [Music] a little early okay no Kickback for the right and finally this is a very interesting game all right all three this is it out out in front but everybody can catch these yeah no one's running away away with it so it's really anyone's game [Music] um by about 50 million now 70 million and then both are the right orbit here I believe two right orbits right I think it's just one okay oh I went for it yeah confident that's too dangerous though bonus can be reasonable here for him too right level two tricks I mean we're talking about that's two more shots that everybody else is gonna have to make in terms of level one trick progression so yeah that's it yep all right so he's gonna end uh what about a little over 200. all the tricks yep two yeah day 14. let's put the difference do you think he could have snuck a Buy in there Maybe just real quick yeah yeah pretend nothing happened all right Johnny looking to improve his standing here he'd like to take a second or a third instead of our fourth cup make a few extra Grand yeah he's that left ramp no I'm not gonna find it couldn't get a hold of that game so Johnny will finish in fourth great run here at the Indus high stakes and now Keith in the points lead at five but if he does not catch Escher he has his multiball lit at the hats see if he goes for that yep I would definitely take that and then go for tricks oh no we missed the hat so is he gonna go for it yep Oh it rejected oh yeah this is yeah when I when I was playing this game I've four hat rejects in one shot for me went in so I feel his pain but it's just such a direct shot that yeah if you miss that plunge and then now you're leaving it up there it is yeah that's exactly how you have to shoot it right from the cradle it just is too dead on but we can get that little bit of angle ride the ball oh and now he's got the uh silent for critics oh how do you do this during multival because you have to be able to you're about to find out it didn't divert maybe you just can't Advance during the stage yeah it didn't divert so I don't think it's a warning I don't know if he saw that I didn't see that yeah was that from the that was the slap save right yeah I would guess so yeah so he re-lit his jackpot [Music] yeah two ball only 20 million so re-light on the right Loop left ramp for jackpot the reason 158 escher's at 214 20s for days so what is that four three more jackpots somewhere in there uh yes reel at the jackpot nice dead bounce stays alive I think the ramp becomes an attempted cradle separation yep oh no oh that worked out unintentionally but it worked I think he was going yeah right we're getting dangerously close right and you have to consider I mean his bonus is also going to be 10 million yeah fish lit again oh that was a nice feed oh wisely slip away oh yeah last second nice new designs the bricks and that the hills hit I think that's it well hold on yeah he just wants to keep the pedal to the metal in terms of putting distance between himself and Raymond [Music] Keith was smiling underneath his mask you couldn't see it but he was smiling all right oh no he already played multiple right now let's go for a three ball yeah he's got he's got a fresh set a little hard though might as well go over three ball now right one more yeah he's got the he needs the targets anyways yeah you need the left targets nail those puppies relight your Kickback maybe after a couple shots oh got the 20 million on the way out though good fall for two Round of Applause for Keith and the crowd still gathered here in this high stakes and the wee hours of the morning this is Slayer four all three so because of the scoring of four two one zero if Raymond wins this there's no tiebreaker yep there's no tiebreaker possibility yeah there's nothing Ray can do here that means we have to play another game other than break the game oh that's cool barely so he still needs to Silence the Critics I'm gonna drop it in the holes all right he needs to hit those same targets on the left that claimed Keith's ball gets it Ray survives now he needs the Hat direct shot from the cradle I don't like it I would rather light a lock oh yeah that's what he's doing isn't it it looked like he was shooting the ramp he needs one more Target there on the left that's the ball for spot trick no he's going for the you know for Life yep there it is left out lane lit hasn't even needed to use it I unlocked well played now that he's got to do the plunge but for your ball Colin no no I would go two balls and just cash in the church that's it there it is all right he's chasing what 250 so he's about 100 million away yep about four jackpots right [Music] still got one came a little confused again yeah something going on with the left scoop that yeah so Capital ball having trouble keeping up with his fast-paced action oh my gosh all right he needs the right blue jet sale registration champion [Music] well done Keith 6 800 dollars to put in his pocket all right we're gonna hear from Tio list for an interview hey how you doing what's up what's up what's up okay we've got some trophies and I'm not trying to rush this because that is you know next to pinberg the biggest cash tournament you'll see anywhere and a great way to end in disc so in fourth place no shame with that Johnny Monica well done oh my gosh I'm so excited I can't believe it's like you know the three world champions and then me it's like that Sesame Street thing you know which one doesn't belong is that well you did the Cookie Monster or the guy in the trash I think the guy in the trash what's his name Oscar Oscar that's right I'm Oscar no no no no no no Grouch here in fact one of the
