Big Casino is a sleeper game if there ever was one. It's a small flipper EM that at first glance seems unexceptional. The art is merely ok by the standards of the era, although the hillbilly king on the backglass is kinda funny.

But this is another Wayne Neyens gem as far as layout and gameplay. This game has an insane lower playfield layout that at first seems impossible, but you soon realize that it facilitates nudging the ball across it and is actually super fun to play. It's a challenging game, but a fair game, and one that keeps you coming back for more. A near perfect EM, with subpar art.

The bad news is that this game doesn't have much in the way of shots. The good news is that this is a small-flipper EM, so aiming was never really a concern to begin with.

C2S likes this table. Maybe once I take the nudgepill I'll enjoy it more.

This game is a game that many would pass up. And I can understand why, but if you set up, maintain and PLAY this game as it should be, you will find a hidden gem in the rough.

The Pros:
When this game is set up properly and skillful play is activated, this game is one of those titles that makes you fight for every single ball that you manually lift onto the playfield. You can have the ball pass the flipper on the left and nudge your way all across (and back if needed) to a flipper to be sent back up the pf. Skillful plunging and nudging can score 1-2 lanes from the top of the game. Getting all 5 cards in 5 balls is harder than it sounds, but if you do, every card lane is a replay. YAS!!!

If you really want to work on your finesse nudging, this is the game to own.

The Cons:
If this game is not tuned, (And by tuned I mean:
1) Fresh bouncy white rubbers
2) A liberal tilt
3) Waxed and buffed
4) Mechs in good working order
5) The PF angle needs to be shallow enough to allow for more lateral travel) it will play poorly. You have been warned.


The Takeaway:
When properly cared for and played, this game is a nudging bonanza. Your nudging skills WILL improve on this table. But it must be set up and card for as it needs to be. Love your pinball and your pinball will love you right back!
