Game plays well, but even with non nude inserts will keep some away from having this pin in home. If you approach and focus on this pins shots, easy and difficult, you’ll find it an enjoyable pin. I love going for the immediate skill shot from the shooter lane to the VUK to the right in-lane that then allows for an immediate shot at the left ramp. Getting this first shot to then allow for the shot at the right ramp, or even go to the opening to the inside of the right ramp to the Grotto is fun. The only undesirable shot, for myself, is when the silver ball comes off of the pop bumpers and comes down between the left ramp and the Centerfold ramp as invariably the ball drains. My assessment of this particular drain shot may or may not be fair as it is based on my HUO pin and I’m not big on nudging my pins much at all, if any. Drains are to be expected as a chance with any pin, but with this PB I think if out on route nudging this drain would require finding the sweet spot so as to not tilt. Overall some may not enjoy this pin if they’re focused solely on the theme, but if you like good skill shots with multiple ramps that gives you different skill shot awards to achieve then you’ll find this an enjoyable pin to play at home or out.

I was a fairly regular guest at the playboy mansion so when I saw this pin I had to have it. The backglass art is fantastic. It really captures the vibe of Hef and Playboy. The trifold centerfold like how the magazine would fold out is just brilliant. The call outs are a bit disappointing. Too bad they didn’t use Hefs voice. Music isn’t great either. I ended up selling mine and found it to be more difficult to sell than other titles. I think there is a more limited amount of people that are interested in non family friendly titles. I am keeping an eye out for a nice example though or hoping they release another one. Definitely one I might have again.

This is an underestimated table. It really is a lot of fun to collect the playmates of the month and go into wizard mode. It has possibly some of my favorite multi-ball modes and it's got great toys. I've heard it said that if you own it, you can even swap out the inserts of models for pictures of girls you like more which would be neat, though I think it would be more fun to switch out the decals with pictures that are plain absurd, things like pictures of beef sandwiches, ford pintos, and edvard munch's "The Scream". Great machine

I think this is one of the worst pinball machines I've ever played. especially because it's really EASY, I've finished it with my second game. Got bored immediately. Maybe even worse than Striker Xtreme. Really worse than an Abortion. At least has score balanced. I hope not to see this pinball machine again

I laughed when I was scrolling through the comments on this game and saw that someone wrote
“Annoyingly the layout isn’t bad”
That pretty much sums up how I feel people harshly judge this game.
In other words, it’s a great game but I need to give a bad review because if my wife sees my 10/10 review of it, I’ll be in the dog house.
Here is my review.
It’s a perverted game yes. The only pinball machine I know of to include nudity.
Guess what? The shots are fun. Layout is great. And I don’t blush every time I see a pair of t*** because I’m not 10 years old anymore.
Not suited for a family environment. Great pin.

Love this game. Trying to uncover the centerfolds and light up all 12 playmates makes this game quite fun. There are even adults only and safe pictures depending on whichever you want revealed at your location. I really enjoy playing this game.

Annoyingly, the layout isn't actually too bad, there are some okay shots to be had. The main trouble is that the majority of the toys and features, four of them in fact, are just to reveal images. Anyone with an once of pinball skill will have seen the naked women within one game and the novelty quickly wares off. The theme is NOT family friendly, which isn't always a bad thing, but in this instance it's just a bit embarrassing standing there at a machine that's telling you how much it likes aggressive men whilst families and kids are running round the arcade. The theme is just one big gimmick, and although it's been done 3 or 4 times now it has yet to make for a good machine.

I really like this pin. It plays well and has toys not found on other pins. The downside I couldn't keep this in my house until my daughters get older. That will be a while.
Edit: The biggest problem I had I had was game lighting. I just played a version with LEDs and that fixed that.

I recently acquired this game. My plan was to shop it, add LEDs, and sell it. Never for a second did I think I would find it worthy of adding to my collection but, quite frankly, it is a lot of fun. It's actually hysterical. The novelty of it draws players in and the outrageousness brings them back for more. Definitely a hard game to play just once and an even harder game to get high score. I've owned over 200+ pinball machines. I have seen some very underrated games and IMO this is one of them. It's not a technical game. It's not a game that looks to be judged on by flow. It's just good-clean-fun. The artwork is not great but its not bad either - it is thankfully not too explicit. The pop-bumper tease sounds are probably the best feature on the pin - I didn't expect the sounds it generates and haven't stopped laughing since hearing them. The theme is clearly not for everyone, and so that will reflect in public reaction but, if you have an open mind and want a fun adult pinball machine that will draw attention, stimulate conversation and post a high collect-ability rating, check this one out.

Everyone has one that has to be the bottom of the pile and this is mine. Terrible terrible game which is utterly irredeemable in every way. Awful artwork, music, gameplay and I just detest the theme and how Stern handled it. Personally if they all went up in smoke I would not care, Stern should have left this one at the drawing board!

so bland. hit the center drop, hit the center ramp, play centerfold multiball, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat. dumb theme, even dumber "artwork".

Very under rated game IMO. Plenty of things to shoot at and great ball flow. I can see where it wouldn't be a game for a family type atmosphere but would go great in a man cave type game room or bar. I would like to add one to my collection someday if I could find one locally.

I enjoyed this pin, thought it was fun to play on location, might get a little bored with it in a home use environment but I thought it was a great game, a heap of air balls off the drop target, skill shot is nice, and all in all the playfield is set out quite nicely , if your thinking about getting , I would recommend giving it a shot, coz its pretty cool...

zzz... wait, this was a game?
Pros:
- Nudity (really only exists to attract guys though)
- Mansion Mania is a fun mode but it gets repetitive at times
- Good toys that are used considerably well, esp. peek-a-boo curtain and centerfold locker
- Decent flow - not too good but you can backhand stuff easily
Cons:
- Terribly unbalanced scoring. Literally the only things I do in this game to score big is centerfold multiball, mystery, and Mansion Mania. Sometimes I even fall asleep before I get to Super Mansion Mania
- Modes are wastes of time because the aforementioned features score much higher than them
- Terrible sound design (I honestly can't play through centerfold multiball because of how horrible it is. We get it, "hsusuifssfsdkfhkshsfkfhdsi centerfold"
- Mansion Mania is extremely boring and forgettable
- Overall a meh game with meh sound and meh artwork. Don't play it unless nudity is a total requirement for pinball.
