I’ve had my Houdini for two years and absolutely love it. It’s never leaving my collection. I’ve played Oktoberfest about a dozen games or so. I like it a lot, but wouldn’t buy it because I’m limited by how much space I have (and money). I haven’t had the opportunity to play Hotwheels but would love to. It’s also not a theme I’d buy, but it looks fun. I love AP as a company and am very excited to see what they come up with next. If it’s Sherlock or LOV I’ll definitely find the space and money to get it. With JJP imploding with poor quality games and even poorer customer service, the time is ripe for people to recognize how great AP truly is. I hope it happens. And I hope AP continues to put out original, high quality games.

In my opinion you can't go wrong with an AP game. They are fun, original, solidly built and the company has great customer service. I own a Houdini. I've played a lot of Oktoberfest. Unfortunately, no locations around me carry Hotwheels so I've yet to play that game. I haven't heard of any playfield issues with any of their games. While Houdini is not an easy game and its shots are tight, it is very rewarding and it makes me a better player the more I play it. I find Oktoberfest a tad easier, but still a difficult game. I like difficult to master games because they keep me coming back and I don't get bored with them.
