The letter puck got stuck against this post in the auto fill dispenser unit. I think that the dome has to be removed in order to access this area, which seems to be a somewhat involved task, so to save the hassle for the techs I kept playing in the hopes that the next puck lift would help dislodge the letter puck.

Any of you who have followed along when I post about this game know that I'm not great at dropping pucks. So it's not like I'm dropping a puck every play...not even close.

I learned that the agitator (the official name in the manual for the spinning metal bar that's supposed to knock the pucks back into play) is not quite long enough to have any effect on this stuck puck.

It wasn't until the third lift that some pucks were located in a manner to help dislodge this letter puck back into play.

Was it worth the effort? Probably not for the most part, but I achieved my initial goal of not having to have our techs remove the dome. I like our tech crew, so if there's anything I can do to relieve the burden on them, I'm all for it.

Letter puck unstuck!

This was the last game I expected them to get when I saw it originally revealed at IAAPA. It’s honestly a really unique style of pusher and I commend LAI for trying something new! I’m not sure it will survive testing but it’s fun to play.

Basic gameplay involves dropping a dice-like cube down through one of three spinning wheels, with options such as extra cubes, tickets, or build. Hitting a blue build spot adds one layer to the cube “pyramid” on the side. After enough layers are added the build spots turn into pink “tower” wedges and hitting those slides the whole tower onto the field.

You’re trying to push all of the 6 different kinds of big cubes off the playfield, once you do so the bonus wheel starts. Landing on “bonus chance” gets you to spin the larger center wheel. Overall payouts are kind of weak and it’s not really profitable but oh well, the game is fun!

Basically the same as the old season passes.

So I got a text and email the other day about half price Sunday through Thursday. And in the fine print, couldn’t find anything about not valid at every store. So that was the first question. Second question was wondering if it’s on all games other than VR and games suites I was wondering about that cause there’s only a few things listed in the fine print

I wish I could say I spotted this from across the room with the telltale alternating purple and white LEDs on the corners of the cabinet, but no, I just regularly hit up Harpoon Lagoon if I have time long enough for the screen to darken once to see if it’s my lucky day and the jellyfish appears.

This is the first time I’ve walked up to the game with the jellyfish already out waiting for someone to harpoon it. And this time, that someone was me.

500 tickets is certainly not the best jackpot for the jellyfish (I’ve seen it range from a high of 1000 to a low of, I don’t remember exactly, 200-something?) but still not bad for not having spent any time playing trying to get the jellyfish to appear.

Between the 500 jackpot, a couple of sharks and some random other fish, I ended up with 648 tickets for this swipe after all was said and done. No complaints here!

Doing some serious decluttering and found these from a long ago collection from when my kids were younger. We still go, I love collecting the Star Trek and Oz cards from the coin pusher (I have sooooo many I really should redeem). But I didn't realize I had these and they're ancient. 240 of them including the two pusher coins. Can they still be redeemed?

This is the card for the event
