[QUOTE="Striker, post: 266382, member: 6694"] 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. [/QUOTE]
