Getting back to the topic, Maverick is in the top echelon in the cheap/deep machines. We had this title in our meager three machine line up for two years ~ & had a ball w/ it. We only paid $1500 for it, & an can be acquired for around the same price. This machine has a lot going on including ~ excellent dot matrix graphics, phenomenal sound effects, 17? drop targets, +plus+ a deep rule set. Good luck getting to the World Poker Championship, it'll take a while. We absolutely had a major return for what was paid < & some. The beer always tastes better when it's free > or so it seems.
