I've been working on this one for about two weeks now, along WITH Variety. This table actually does not work like the "normal" flipperless tables out there. The balls STAY on the playfield and roll to the bottom. The balls are held in place by "wire" doors that literally "lift up" and the balls roll to the bottom area of the playfield and line up at the plunger. These wire doors kind of look like the bottom of a coffin if you were looking at one.
The playfield itself is comprised of 5 horses; the top horse is 2000 points. Three of the areas (including the top horse) are like kicker cups. When a new game is played and the balls are in these holes, the balls are lifted out of the area and roll to the bottom of the playfield. Yeah, it sounds weird. One horse and two horseshoes are the "divot" areas to score in. The other areas are "coffin" type holders that capture the balls for the score.
But, I'll be making this table a bit tougher than the usual fare. The balls will not be "grabbed" by kicker cups or anything like that. The balls can roll into the hole and roll in just about any direction if the ball does'nt make it into the hole. What I'm saying is that if you don't have the PERFECT velocity and the perfect control, the ball will NOT stay in the "divot" to score! Also, if another ball hits a ball in these areas, you CAN knock the ball out of the "divot"!!!
You'll all have to wait and see what I have in store for this one. I am excited to say the least!
Thanks for reading my rants about this one. I'm stoked!!! :) I love the redrawing for this one. I hope to keep this one in it's original state as best as possible. The playfield is extremely colorful. It's beautiful.

This one will be awhile since I need to find the bottom label, remove A LOT of glare and just redraw the entire table in general. I'm keeping anything that looks "old" on it to make it feel like the real thing. Just like Variety :)
More than likely, this table will be released on my Facebook page.
PS: Just found the label. An EASY redraw :)
