Thoughts on Jacks Open..or Card Whiz...

[ROLLERBALL]

Im keen to get an EM back in my lineup sometime but will only do it if its a card theme...Whats a good one to go for???Im thinking Jacks Open or maybe Card Whiz...Do the drop targets reset on Card Whiz like they do on Jacks Open??

Hey Paul, I haven't played either, but on the Card Whiz, being a GTB 2 player, I'm guessing the drop targets would reset when the next ball is served, like my 2 player Pioneer.  Where as the single player Jacks Open, the targets would stay down. ( deeper rulesets on the single players) Nino or Tony feel free to chime in.
Nino has a great Jacks Open resto thread here on the forum  .
There is also one on ebay at the moment ( up here in Newcastle )http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=200313777255
It has a repainted headbox, although it looks like a High Hand/Capt Card paint job, on the head.
I think there is some owners of both machines here, so they will know for sure.
ps: I wondered when you would be after another EM for the line up.
gotta love those EM's.
cheers Steve.

Yeah im looking at the Jacks open...I was more interested to find out if the drop targets reset like the Jacks open....as In with the jacks open I think that when you start the game you only have the 2 Jack targets up...then hit them down and the 3 queen targets then pop up ect....

That Newcastle seller is Slevbro on AA.

Jacks Open is a better game imho. I love Wedgeheads, and I think that JO is one of the best around.

At the start of each ball, all the targets are reset and you have to knock down the cards denoted in the yellow section of the playfield, then the targets reset. They do not drop individually.

High Hand is another great Card Themed Wedgehead and would look great next to a JO !

Ok cool..I just thought that the individual targets where the only ones to pop up....looks like a fun machine

[ROLLERBALL]

Oh hang on...if you get to the royal flush then it just resets the red targets....cool...

No the best card game would have to be Topcard
