The reason I think the game is great is this:

1) Very interesting layout, this isn't your standard pinball.  Nice big center drain but with posts to keep the ball in play.  It's a learning curve because you think you want to flip to try and save it but really your best bet is to keep your flippers down and let it bounce.  The outlanes are pretty gobbly but the doouble outlane with free spin is a really cool feature, trying to nudge it one way or the other to get that free spin to keep it in play.  This game is really a nudgers dream.

2)  Interesting scoring system - so the main purpose of the game is to solve puzzles, easy enough, but you have the 3 contestents, who each get diffrent values on the wheel each time it spins.  So obviously you want to go with the contestent with the higest point value at the time, the cool thing is those point accumulate.  So while Lonny may have had 80,000 the last spin but only has 20,000 this spin while maria has 90,000.  You are still better off shooting for lonny because it will add to your total score and you will now gety 1 mil as his new total.  Also the  last player you hit that calls out a leter is the player score you get when you solve the puzzle, so there is some strategy in which player you should hit and when.

3)  Toys - this game has some cool toys.  First time in a really long time I've seen a skill shot that really requires some decent skill.  The loop back shot to the right flipper that needs a left ramp shot to complete is great.  Then you have the wheel, really nice toy, it lights up really nice and the spinning feature is pretty cool, the bobble heads arn't terrible, the in line drop targets arn't a feature you've seen on a game in a long time and are fun to try and knock down.

4) Rules - the rules are interesting, lots of diffrent multiballs, all the diffrent puzzles, some strategy involved and allot of fun shots while doing it.  

that is my take on the game anyway.

i remember lots of WPT but did not see ANY WOF's?


Now if the WPT were going for $3k, I think I'd be in for that too!

They had a WPT it was a pre owned I played it and was not too keen on it also the drop targets were not working well it might have been a good playing pin if all the targets worked  and I had played a buch of games on it to let it grow on me!

I've played it a Jim's - I really liked it, different, in the way I suspect WOF is.  And if you like that style of poker, bonus!
