Hilarious!!!!! A million bucks spent on that?!?! Those guys were totally lost......

That game would last 5min in a bar. Those little sticks for handles would be broken, and the score topper would be ripped off.
Although a plus was that it looked like the puck actually rolled. Chexx should just rip-off that idea...

All the real table hockey fans use Stiga tables. They're used for international competitions.

Owned one, gave it away.   Way to under-engineered even for home use.

But, come-on Ethous, did you not see the LED for a goal-light!   That'll draw the crowds

Love the show also.  Been watching it for the last 2 seasons now.  I like all the Dragons.
I saw that episode and it looked so crap.  I mean, it looked more colorful than the old Chexx but so flimsy alright

I think the show is ridiculous, If I was starting a business I would want partners that want to help and work with me, not these guys who basicaly blackmail you into giving them Large portions of your company!

I would turn them down for sure! Pirates!

It's called venture capital and yes the man with the money always wins.

Hey believe it or not that's the one team i miss.
I loved the canadian vs nordiques.
2 loud crowds and it was noisy and maybe the best vs team rivalry.
not like sens vs leafs  you can almost here a pin drop it like watching golf at sens games.
I love the sens but theirs no noise like habs or leafs or calgary ect

Saw that show too. What I want to know is how you spend $1 million developing something like that, and how do you not research the competition? I got the impression it was as if they had never heard of or seen a Chexx machine. The players in their version were FLAT just like the kids tables! LAME!

**edit:
I want to add though that Super CHexx could and should be improved t keep up with the times. Digital sound is dirt cheap to use these days, they could put a full range of sounds like Don Cherry calling the gameplay, and lights, maybe even a small video screen scoreboard for a deluxe model.


It's all fun 'n games until you run out of space.
