Ratings and reviews

This app is a highly realistic recreation in almost every way! With a couple of minor exceptions (which can't be helped, since it's not an actual table), this is about as good as it gets. One of the issues I notice is with "The Black Knight": more often than not, when the final ball drains from either the left or right side, the game immediately ends without adding the bonus scores accrued during that ball.

I have a love/hate relationship with game. I love the super realistic tables and great selection of classic games. However, the screen refresh rate issue is a major bug which has long been left unaddressed. The lack of that fix, lack of additions of new games, and a horrible/dated UI outside the actual game play make me hesitant to pay any more for new machines (which are not cheap, btw). Is there a future for this game?

This is an update to an updated review. This game was amazing for years. Recently I got a Samsung Ultra 23 and for some reason this game plays like it is on fast forward. It's hard to do anything because all the machines move way too fast. *Update* You can turn off the "fast forward" by going to your display settings and turn your motion smoothness from adaptive to standard. Just annoying to have to turn it on and off just for this game. Overall it's still a great way to learn these pins
