    It's one of the most sought-after EM pins of all-time.

    Quoted from o-din:

    Pinside says average price for this game is $800.

    Good luck on finding one for $800 that isn't a total POS.

    There's a reason that Amtex decided to base their iconic video simulations on Gottleib Royal Flush and Bally Eight Ball Deluxe.

    For those of us on here who were around when these machines were new, they are probably the two most-iconic machines of the era. Without a doubt they are.

    I wouldn't buy any machine with an overlay unless I was planning to replace it with a brand-new playfield. I'm also not a huge fan of the way Fabulous Fantasies paints their cabinets but I bet the guy has a few grand into it.

    The bottom line is if anyone on here has a fairly unmolested Royal Flush in good shape I'll pay $2,000 all day long for it (more if it is really nice).

    SS Joker Poker is a decent machine go but if you were to place a Royal Flush EM in equal condition next to it I'd still probably pick the EM Royal Flush. It might be a little bit of a tough choice though.

    Of course if you were to put it next to an EBD in equal condition it then becomes a no-brainer.

    In the 90's Amtex could have done any pin they wanted.

    They chose one iconic EM and one iconic SS from the "Golden Age" of pinball.

    A very tough decision but they made the same two choices I would have.
