Quoted from BC_Gambit:

In some ways better than LoTR at half the price:

Quoted from BC_Gambit:

My one question is there a sound effect for the skill flip option (e.g. the probably the worst of the three options to pick unless you really need a million or so points ). Mine makes no sound when you make this, but I am not sure if that is just the game trying to tell you this option is junk.

Quoted from StevenP:

Embarrassingly silly dots.

Quoted from jalpert:

I think the dots are really good when you are "flying" to a new city. I just wish I could skip them with a double flip.

Quoted from Butch2099:

I love that topper, where did you get it?

Quoted from Butch2099:

Do you need to have an OCD controller to put LED's in it?

Quoted from skywalker:

Hey gang, whats a WPT worth less than 300 plays, Mint cond,

Quoted from StevenP:

I'd say up to around $3k. The ones that have more plays on them often look really nice and sell for closer to $2k.

Quoted from Kazowi:

Just picked one up a few weeks back, and I'm really enjoying it so far. Has anyone done custom cards for it? Can't seem to find any on the net.

Quoted from Atomicboy:

That's only a mini wizard mode though right, the main one is the KI?

Quoted from Atomicboy:

I'm looking forward to it, but to date, all my games seem to tap out around 120-160m for WPT.

Quoted from StevenP:

Maybe a topic on this would be interesting. I'm curious what others may think is a good pin for improving overall pinball skills is, and why.

Quoted from Atomicboy:

Hmmm. Again, I have only had this for 6 weeks, and don't want to ruin it by learning all the rules in a rulesheet yet, but I had been playing AITH immediately, locking one back in there, then playing on.

Quoted from StevenP:

I wish someone could explain the Chip Tricks in detail. Seems like there's a multiplier for them that cn build after certain shots are made; Keefer commented on this at one point. But I still don't really understand exactly how the tricks work, to maximize points there...

Quoted from pinball_keefer:

The benefit to removing the gate (other than the added flow) is that your chip trick multipliers will rise (assuming you make the full orbit) and making a full orbit will (re)light the right-side chip tricks. Also, full orbits count as "previous shots" so the chip trick value on your next shot goes up double (as opposed to going up single values when lit from only an inlane).

This might actually be kind of confusing so let me explain it better: Each chip trick adds a certain amount to the trick value (25-50K depending on shot difficulty... I think left orbit is probably easiest so it adds 25K to chip trick value, and the hardest is considered the bumper popper which adds 50K). If the ball is bouncing around and goes down an inlane, then any lit chip trick will increase the value by this single amount. If you made a shot first that results in lighting chip tricks (regardless of whether the shot made scored a chip trick or not), then any made chip trick will add 2x the amount to the value (so right orbit->bumper popper cause the popper to add 100K to the value). Consecutive chip tricks increase the multiplier. Draining from the upper playfield does count as a "previous shot" in terms of the next shot adding 2x. Also, if you make the right ramp chip trick and then let the ball drain immediately instead of using the upper flippers, then your current trick multiplier will stay intact. It's probably pretty rare you would want to do this, but it is possible for the chip trick value to get quite high, so it could be to your advantage at some point.

Quoted from boagman:

Now, ON TO THE SCOLDING! Do you honestly mean to tell me that you took off the *entire upper playfield* and didn't bother to change the bumper area rubber from black to white? Do you *hate* your machine or something? It's made all the more blatantly obvious and offensive by the fact that you've changed the other observable rubber from black to white, especially on the upper playfield itself.

Why, why, *WHY* would you not change the entire playfield rubber to white?

Quoted from boagman:

In short, black rubber is awful, and shouldn't be used, basically ever. I'm sure there's an exception here or there, but I honestly can't think of any at this particular point in time.

Quoted from Atomicboy:

It's better for routing, as it shows less dirt. It is also better for routing, and possibly some games with very crappy areas to get to, as white rubber today is complete garbage, and breaks much sooner than black. That is why, in case anyone is wondering, you will never see machines released with white these days. Steve Ritchie has addressed this before.

Quoted from Atomicboy:

I do like the look of white better though on most games. LOTR is one I have left black though, white just seems out of place on that machine.

Quoted from SteveO:

I prefer the original hostess, Shana Hiatt ...

Quoted from Astropin:

The main announcers - Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten have been there since day one.

Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

Now that I've played a good number of games on my WPT, I've noticed that the best Texas Hold 'Em hand I've gotten is a full house and these seem to be pretty rare.
Is there a setting that I may have missed that controls the frequency of higher value hands?

Quoted from metallik:

WPT's main hand is 7 card stud, not 5 card. Odds of a FH in this case are only 1:37.5

Quoted from Pinstein:

I really liked the layout that "Williams" posted so I emmulated it and made a couple of more options.

Quoted from lyonsden:

I worked with pinsider HankScorpio to create this interactive GI lighting for WPT:

Quoted from lyonsden:

Addressable LEDs used in the GI are completely independent of the GI normally used in the game. Of course, the LED OCD for controlled lights is phenomenal.

Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

Nice WPT. Your second guessing your yellow rubbers choice is understandable though. I'd definitely change those again.

Quoted from rcbrown316:

I just can't tolerate all the stop and go.

Quoted from misterschu:

Anyone else find the left ramp hard to hit from the right flipper? This might only be since changing to Titan bands. I'm wondering if maybe there's just too much taken out when the ball even just grazes the post to the right because of how grippy the Titans are. (Otherwise the translucent Titans look great. Would look even better with some added GI).

Quoted from chubtoad13:

I have a bunch of $1 casino chips from different casinos that I’m using instead of instruction cards.

Quoted from d0n:

My WPT has an issue all of a sudden. The 2 "fangs" don't drop down and trap the ball on the upper PF "ace in the hole" anymore. They always did drop but recently they stay stuck in the up position. I can hear and feel the coil clicking to drop the metal rods but they don't drop reliably. The opto works fine. Any ideas? thanks!
