Don't Panic Flip plays Jurassic Park Pro with focus on strategy and tournament prep.
Don't Panic Flip won the Jurassic Park launch tournament and earned 10.5 WPPR points
high confidence · Host states directly: 'I picked up ten and a half WPPR on the, uh, on the Jurassic Park launch tournament' and 'It is the same machine that I actually won the Jurassic Park launch tournament on.'

high confidence · Host states: 'We had 29 people, I think. I got second in the league through eight weeks, and then we have our final tournament tomorrow.'
Raptor multiball requires hitting two raptors instead of one, with specific shot sequence: helipad, capture, set trap, helipad, second capture
high confidence · Host explains: 'Raptors are unique because you actually have to capture two of them as opposed to one. So you have to hit the helipad, then perform the capture, then go back to the helipad, or it might actually go back to set trap, then helipad, and capture a second one.'
Completing the Raptor perk (upper right) grants 2x on all Raptor jackpots, which can stack with 6-ball Raptor multiball for potentially 24x playfield multiplier on jackpots
medium confidence · Host theorizes: 'the perk, if you can complete it, is 2x on all Raptor jackpots... that again with your 2x playfield multiplier over here, and you are looking at 24x on each jackpot. Now, I don't know if all of that stacks.'
