Quoted from Rdoyle1978:The game is definitely hard,
Yes it is a hard game and it gives you a challenge,Fifty cents or a dollar to play is really worth playing...Solid game
Quoted from John_I:plus I like the size of the LCD compared to the oversize screen on the JJP games
+1
Quoted from KozMckPinball:Someone posted that Dan Rather reported '70s era story about pinball and one operator in the video reported that each of his machines made $1500 a year I think. I assume that it was 25 cents a play back then so that's 6000 plays in a year per machine? He did say he had like 300 machines though if I recall correctly. So 1000 plays in 6 weeks for Houdini seems pretty good I think.
Oh Yeah,Back in the golden age of Pins and arcades operators were making money hand over fist.My father's friend had an arcade back in them days and he made a ton of money and hoping it would never die out.
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:I've heard stories from old ops from the heyday. I was told you can expect about 1/4 today of what you could back then. Must have been nice.
Yes it was a really great time for operators and arcade owners..Both were racking in the dough,The river of cash or coins i should say..Hehe!!
Quoted from TheLaw:it was, cause we could smoke whilst we played; damn we didn't now how well we had it.
Ahhh,If i only had 3 wishes that would be one of them.. 
Quoted from LTG:Not to mention the games cost a heck of a lot less.
LTG : )
Yes Sir!! it was a win-win for everyone
Quoted from Chicoman:Houdini is an unbalanced turd of a pinball machine that is too difficult for your average pinball players who loose interest quickly. They failed to make a challenging pinball machine for the veteran pinball player but appealing and easy enough for the beginner. It's a difficult task but failure to do so can spell D-O-O-M for any pinball company especially someone new like American Pinball. Farewell American Pinball....we barely knew ya!
I disagree(That's just me),I played Houdini and yes it was a challenge and game was solid all the way around..2 Thumbs up for American Pinball and I hope they will be around for many many years to come making and building Pins that we all truly Love and Cherish....
Quoted from fosaisu:So what you’re saying is you’re routing pins at a strip club?
No,It's at the local Church...
