Stern made a nice pinball machine ..... Aesthetics 9, to be lit immediately with led ... The theme is based on a rock of music, the songs are beautiful and have no time, so this pinball machine will be nice for always ..... The game runs well, has two ramps and a game above, which is nothing special but nice, Elvis' dog as simple as it is a nice idea, has some games that make you interact on the dmd and what i like, guys has 4 flippanti !! The game of the magnet on the second flippante on the right is also excellent, in short, find it and play with it !!!!

I like Elvis, but it isn't really a theme I want for a pinball. The gameplay is actually quite good, especially for a pin not rated highly...and that no one seems to talk about. Dare I say underrated?

I gave Elvis a 10/10 based on the multiple choice, but I think it’s about an 8.5 in reality.
The lighting, the music, the artwork, the toys, the shots, the flow, etc. It’s all there. It’s a really good pin.
The ramps are narrow and hard to master and the upper playfield is kind of a one shot pony but very satisfying to hit that heartbreaker hotel!
The Elvis toy that sings in sync with the music is cool too!
It should be way way higher in rank than it is. Maybe because not many people have played it?
Anyways, find one, play it. You might fall in love with it as I have.
I sold mine, but would buy another in a heartbeat.

I consider this to be one of the most underrated games out there. Rules are great and flow is a Ritchie classic! A definite winner.

Game is incredibly underrated due to theme and only 3500 made. Steve Ritchie lay out--is that any good? Beautiful machine and build quality is excellent.With LEDS and mods just a gorgeous machine. Color DMD is awesome in this. Tons of features---hotel is a blast to shoot, 4 flippers, metal ramps, 2 saucers, old school drop targets, stand ups, hound dog toy and clear upper playfield is right on. They should have used these more often--great concept. Encore MB feature is way cool. It just shoots smooth---great backglass. Modes are solid---not the deepest game ever produced but it's just entertaining and fun. You don't have to be a big Elvis fan to enjoy---it's a sleeper---Elvis has left the building!

Maybe too soon but am loving it........ can see this one being in my collection for years to come. will update later, need to play it. Changed my rating now that I have added LEDs..... only floor in my opinion is the audio, I would have liked if they actually played more of the songs in place of sound grabs. Hound dog noise is cool.

Elvis is another Stern game that is just EVERYWHERE in the U.K - even on the island of Jersey it seems to be the only public machine for miles. As a result, I've put alot of time in on it and I have to say while it's not the best thing to ever happen to pinball, it's by no means a bad game. The song modes are all integrated well, and good use is made of the playfield layout which is actually pretty original. Nowadays this would be a Premium game, and the Pro version would be void of upper-playfield and would have a static Elvis, so it's nice that it was made in a time where this was not an issue. The callouts are a bit weak, and the art is a tad lackluster, but the song choices are iconic and I think Ritchie did the best he could with not the most exciting theme around.

Very much a stern game. Sort of a backwards version of Simpsons party pinball. The clear upper play field is kind of clunky. The hound dog toy and feature and is pretty weak. Sounds are king-like so what's not to like. I've still not completed my trip to Graceland.

This game is a ton of fun to play. The theme does nothing for me and I had low expectations, but not only does it shoot really well it's LOADED. There are 4 flippers, an upper playfield, an moving/dancing Elvis that puts waggle figures like AC/DC and KISS LE to shame, a magnet and spinner, the animated hound dog, drop targets, metal ramps. It's absolutely from an era before Stern was thinking about barebones pro-style games. Modes don't seem very balanced and I don't know the high scoring strategies. Sometimes I'll have a 10 minute game where I score 15 million, sometimes in a 5 minute game I'll get 200 million. Maybe if I got a deep understanding of the rules I wouldn't like this one as much, but as a game I occasionally play on location it's so much better than the crap theme.
