Playing Poker And Pinball At The Same Time

The World Poker Tour has made itself known as the premier poker tournament on the planet, they are now attempting to capture the world of pinball.

The WPT announced a deal with Stern Pinball that could potentially land a World Poker Tour Pinball Machine in your local arcade. The machine will be different than other pinball machines and combines the poker experience with that of pinball.

Players of the game need to come up with a good poker hand, you begin with pocket cards and then hit targets to earn all of you table cards. The better you pinball skills are, the better your poker hand will be. The World Poker Tour Pinball Machine makes earning your cards harder and harder the further into the game you get.

The game would not be complete without the usual WPT commentary. The voices of WPT announcers Mike Sexton, Courtney Friel and Hollywood Poker’s Vince Van Patten keep players into the game.

"The World Poker Tour has a timeless theme of poker and, more importantly, is one of the strongest performers on television today,” explained pinball great Steve Richie, one of the games designers. “The playfield is innovative and includes our 'Ace In The Hole' ball lock feature, sixteen drop targets, and some new and exciting ways to play pinball. It is choreographed with thrilling effects, and features the rules and software of Keith Johnson, who is one of the best and most innovative pinball software engineers today."

The World Poker Tour Pinball Machine is available now and is currently in worldwide distribution.
