So what are everyone's opinions on this table?

I have been playing the Pinball Arcade emulation of this table for a while and it is currently one of my most played tables in the game. I am considering purchasing it for the next game in my pinball collection.

It's an absolutely brilliant game of course.

Its a different playing, yet fun game that gets bashed here all the time. In a small collection, probably not, but if you were to have more then a few pins, yes, as... It has a different style of start/stop but loads to shoot for and to do. It is also a pretty nice looking pin, crazy multiball and follows the casino games well. Speach calls are fun also. Doesn't fetch more then say $1500-$1800 ish... But we like ours to chill out on.~Spooks

Fun game. It gets hate for some reason, kinda like WPT .... but 99% of the time the people who talk smack on those games have never played them.

I already have Star Trek so I suggested this game for our next one so I could contrast the quick play of Star Trek with a more mode-based game with not as much flow.

Then if the the price is right, good DMD, no wear, grab it! Nice compliment to what you already have.~Spooky

Make sure it has the Director Cut ROMs installed. It is a night and day difference with and without them. Keith deserves a lot of credit making the game fun with the work he did on those.

Also, last non-licensed theme until the recent AMH.

I don't have any experience w the director roms but that would make all the difference in the world. Cool theme cool layout but horrible sound package w the one I had. It totally be willing to take on another one w different sound roms

I believe the TPA version has the 3.0 ROMs and it was extremely fun to play. Played one in Maine with earlier ROMs and didn't have the same experience.

DC ROMs are the CPU and display. Sound ROMS are unchanged. Details on Stern's website.

I would make sure to play the real thing before buying one though. There are some games that I really like playing in Pinball Arcade but not so much with the real thing. Sometimes it's the opposite where the real thing is a lot more fun. That said, I only played High Roller Casino once and that game was quickly cut short by a stuck ball. It does seem like a nice game with a cool playfield.

High Roller Casino is so under rated it's sick. Yes, the art is this goofy pink/purple, everyone is a caricature, but the game is 100% satire. It's almost a spoof of "Vegas," over the top, bright, colorful etc.

Unlike W?D, it has a fully working real roulette wheel, not just a DMD animation. It's got a great diverter / jump whatever you want to call it - it's like having 3 shots in 1, you can actually play some of the games like high/low, it's got stand-ups behind drop targets which is neat, and drop targets , 2 actual diverters...

The rules are really very good, finish the games to play a multiball, accumulate chips to reach another, and the game has a main multiball.

The multiball modes is where this game shines. The multiballs are very very good. My favorite multiball modes are the ones with risk vs reward and progression and these do not disappoint at all.

The game tends to be easy, but there are plenty of adjustments you can make. Open up the outlanes and I promise the game isn't that easy. Also, if you are picking it up dirty or broken, it's an easy game to work on.

I think the game is a friggin blast. It came to me dirty and broken. I bought it to have fun fixing it, now it's a keeper. I didn't see it coming, but I think that game is awesome.

So because this is a good, cheap machine, I am officially making this my next pinball purchase until further notice.

It's a great, reasonably price machine. It's pretty hard to find though, they don't pop up often, especially locally.
