I am in too !
Got mine for about a year. Had to send my defective CPU to Stern (it wasn't fixed before !). Since it came back... pure joy !

Quoted from devils4ever:Well, I got curious last night a took off the glass. I activated the SPIN A CARD feature and hit the selected drop target. Nothing seemed to happen.
So, is what everyone saying is that the card selected in SPIN A CARD goes towards your Poker Hand?
Exactly. You do not have to aim at that drop target anymore, you validated it already (and it should be lit to attest this).
This count to the poker hands, not for Texas Hold'em / finishing cities.
Quoted from jalpert:Check your 5V. Also, some WPT games that shipped with an early board set had a hardware issue that caused resets. Stern will still swap these out I believe, I just don't know how to identify if you have that board or not.
It happened to me and a failing board is a possible explanation. I sent pictures of my board to Stern customer service; they realized it was a faulty one and changed it for free (in 2013).
Quoted from Miknan:But it seems strange previous owners of this machine wouldn't have had this problem already and taken care of it.
I found it strange too for mine: bought it summer 2013... you could not but notice this reset problem. Happened randomly but quite often - initially during multi ball, then anytime -.
Fortunately zero issue since board swap. Take pictures and send them to Patrick Powers at Stern.

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
No sound on mine either. But I tend to avoid that choice anyway!

Quoted from wcbrandes:This looks like a terribly under rated game!
Sure. Several reasons:
- Questionable artwork (to be polite)
- so-so music
- Initial reliability issues
You have to overcome this to discover how good it is. Perhaps the best ruleset I know. Mine is a keeper.
Quoted from wcbrandes:Is there or was there reliability Fixes?
There were random reset problems with the initial CPU/Sound boards. Solved by stern by standard exchange.
See service bulletin #163.
This exchange has been performed already on most game running today. I bought mine last year, the CPU was still faulty. I could experience great customer service from Stern. Now running smoothly, no other issues.

Quoted from Atomicboy:My highest now is 459m, but still no KI. Has anyone got the KI? J
Nope. Not ever close. But I tend to play it without Extraballs and open outlanes so that does not really helps... Highest score around 220m.
