Very pleasant surprise to have this download today.

The table looks great - as others have pointed out, the music is pretty bad, but I usually play muted. Shots feel pretty good, I still have not figured out all the places you are supposed to shoot in the upper playfield. The backbox game where you build up hands is fun.

At one point I got on the high score list and then closed down the app (Android), when I reopened the high scores were all reset. I have not tested to see if this is a recurring bug or even if it may be across all tables, but it definitely happened.

All in all this table is a winner, and fits in well with the very strong Season 7.

It's one of the few table that I use the roaming camera on. The top area is a little tough for me if I don't.
I'm with you G32, it's a thumbs up from me as well.

I didn't much like it the first time when it was called The Black Knight

I definitely got black knight vibes from the layout right away, but the geometry is worse here. The flow sucks.

Update: Once I came to grips with the rules I actually really started to enjoy the table so what do I know.

My first impression... I never played a real-life Pistol Poker, not really heard of it until recently. I now have about ten games under my belt.

The playing field is busy. I read some of the instructions but it started to give me tired-head; so many features. That's not necessarily a bad thing; but staying on top of everything on this one will require a learning curve.

I have made a few skill shots, but the standard goal doesn't register. With one flipper it's hard to keep the ball going up top, and I haven't learned all the ways to get it back up there.

The bottom is easier to follow. I don't know if this is by design, but there seem to be quite a few risky shots. Missing the chip scoop and hitting the Queen or King of Clubs instead seems to result in a SDTM. Not enough oomph on the Black Jack ramp = SDTM. I find myself nudging a lot on this one. Luckily, it seems to allow a lot of nudging and shaking. I have only tilted once, after three to four times the nudging most pins will tolerate.

My best score (140M-something) came after being able to "shoot" myself a royal flush on the back glass.

I'm still undecided on this one.

its ****. Either the table setup by farsight is wrong or the table itself is horribly made.

Shots to the left ramp go to the upper playfield about 1 in 10.
Shots to the right loop goto the top playfield about 1 in 4.
Its impossible to deliberately get it to the upper rollovers yet its apparently a wizard goal to get the max bonus x 10. (I'll do this via the joker award coupled with a back board award most likely)
Its almost impossible to hit the joker hole which is vital to get into and through mega mode.

I'm not enjoying it at all :(

Table's fault, the joker is hard to hit on the real table too. I worked on the majority of the art for this table, I measured almost every inch of the real table and tweaked the collisions to match accurately as possible.

Fair enough. I've only got the super jackpot goal to go. If I manage that I won't be paying this table again for a long while :)
