So I have noticed that this thing has been for sale for months. I'm just curious why no one buys it. Has anyone checked it out? I'm not saying I want it; I just can't figure out why no one else does. It doesn't look that bad. I'm sick of seeing it come up when I search CL.

I once tried to contact the seller. Heard nothing back. They shaved a dollar off the price recently.

I've been playing the Magic at Pins N Needles lately. Kind of a fun game, but overall it's not at all amazing. Kind of mushy and basic. But the spinners are fun to hit, and the sound is decent.

Stern's are better than Bally's. If you really want a Magic you might be able to talk Deathsave out of his.

Speaking of craigslist weirdos, what about that $2500 Jet Spin that some dude has listed many times, and all of the pictures are from IPDB.... WEIRD!

I had some fun playing D-bags in Seattle. I think it has a bonus collect like some other early sterns, which is always fun.
I've read somewhere about a goofy rule in the game - like pop bumper hits increase bonus, so bonus gets maxed quickly without doing anything. Something like that.
Dropshot is crazy - only NEW sterns are better than Ballys. They really hit their stride in the Austin Powers/Harley Davidson era - what I like to refer to as "the platinum era".
Beep . . . boop beep boop boop boop.

Austin Powers was a pile, I've got a crazy Harley Davidson story where I wasn't sure I was going to make it out alive. But I still think High Roller Casino is a fun game from what I refer to as the era of "Great American Retro Ball Action Games (for) Everyone" or just GARBAGE for short.
