Plays pretty well for a widebody game, and with LED's it lights up very nicely. I really like the sexy fantasy art package, but as with all art it is subjective and relative to peronal preference. Fairly simple 1980 offering but after a year of ownership, it is still enjoyable to play. With serviced boards, the game is reliable. The backglasses are subject to deterioration in the reds, would be nice to see a prime vendor like CPR pick this up and add it to their reproduction offerings. Mechanical components and overall game build are high quality, carried over from Gottliebs EM era a few years earlier. Unless production figures are wrong, where have all of the Pantheras gone? Parted and disposed of? Also, finding one that is not in rough, beat down condition is not easy.

Just picked up Panthera a few days ago. I’m a fan of drop targets so this one gets a thumbs up. Really nice art package, spinner to rip, several ways to achieve an extra ball, and very well lit up Playfield. Not for everyone being a wide body. The slingshots really get the game playing quicker especially with the game raked up. So far I like what I see.

Don't really understand the low ratings on this machine. I've had the opportunity to play it quuite a bit as a good friend owns it.
Decent rules, and really great shots make this stand out for me. Love the art.
Very challenging machine, and a blast for mini tournaments, as the bonus is where it is at; and you really do not see too many of these around.
Disclamer, as ALWAYS, set up sometimes makes all the difference.

Never judge a pinball by its art. It has a pretty playfield, cool looking backglass, nice bumper caps, but it is boring to play.

Panthera is quite the vixen!
I think the playfield art is beautiful. The art fills up the widebody very well. Unfortunately, the widebody is NOT filled up by many interesting things to shoot at.
The objective of the game is to put out all of the rollover colors. Once a rollover is hit, that same color lights up in front of each corresponding drop target. Hit the lit drop target for a bonus increase and points. Hit all three of that color and increase your multiplier. The best scores come when you've got all 4 rollover colors hit and you've hit each drop target.
The game remembers which colors you've hit and the colors don't reset until you've completed EACH set of drop targets, very very cool feature.
With a good game, it's easy to roll this game over (6 digit display). But she can be very frustrating!
It's a fun game to try and roll over, that goal is what gives her any sort of lasting appeal. Other than that, it's just an OK game.
