She just took a DNA test, turns out shes 100% that Witch, even when she draining crazy, yeah, she has drop targets, that’s the pinball in her,  bling-bling, shoot the spinner that’s the goddess in her.

You coulda had a multiplier, carryover, help you with your high score, just a little. You’re supposed to shoot the ball, but you just cradle and trap, and that’s the sound of you not scoring jack.

One of my all-time favorite machines is headed to North End Pub this week! Be sure to check out Seawitch and beware of her sorcery.

Yesterday we hosted our monthly 4-strikes tournament and Tom Vandenberg left the day victorious! Thank you to everyone who came out and played.

Additionally, we lost our friend Josh Burton this week and we are donating all the coin drop from yesterday, and today to the funeral fund for him. We also had a donation jar at the tournament, and several other players and operators from around the state have contributed to the cause. With those efforts combined, we have successfully raised over $1000 already. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to this cause for Josh’s family.

Lastly, just a small reminder that the August selfie games, prospector, Iron Maiden, and Flash Gordon will stay the games until September 8th due to Labor Day. The finals will be Monday, September 9th at 6PM. Here are the updated standings.

Make sure you get to North End Pub on Sunday before 4 PM for our monthly 4-Strikes tournament! $1 entry fee, and if you forget your quarters no problem because we have the chance machine ready to go in the bar now! The tournament should wrap up by 8 PM or so. Drive safe and hope to see a bunch of you there!

Thank you to everyone who has come out to the bar to check out Jurassic Park over the last 2 nights. Everyone who I have talked to has said the game is really fun, and I’m glad people are enjoying it. There should be a new code update coming out this week so we will have new stuff to see in the machine any day now. We will also be having a Pinquest for Jurassic Park in the coming days as well, I will get that posted ASAP!

Also after Free Play Wednesday last night, we have some moving and shaking done in the August Selfie Standings! Remember you have all the way until September 8th to get those scores in since we moved the finals due to Labor Day. Prospector, Flash Gordon, and Iron Maiden.

Jurassic Park is here! Get down to North End Pub and check out the latest release from Stern Pinball. A huge thank you to Dan St. John of Main Street Amusements for making the trip with me to the Stern factory yesterday to pick the machine up. Whenever you aren’t playing pinball at North End Pub you should definitely be checking his games out just down the road. Between our two locations, Lafayette has about 50 pinball machines for the public to play within just 2 miles of each other.

The game is designed by Keith Elwin and has an amazingly deep rule set already coded into the game at launch.  Below are some tips for you as you get to learn the new machine.

1. Spell C-H-A-O-S by hitting the shots in order from left to right across the playfield (look for the inserts with the letters). Once spelled shoot into the pop bumper area behind the right ramp to start that multiball. During multiball shoot more balls into that area as the pop bumper hits will add more balls into play. You can get up to 6 balls going at once!
2. The Raptor Pit area on the lower left can be bashed (similar to Sparky on Metallica) to start the Raptor Tri-Ball multiball.
3. Shoot the captive ball in front of the truck right up the middle of the playfield and use kinetic energy to spin the truck left and right. At the top of the LCD display you will see each turn of the truck adds a letter to T-REX. Once you have spelled T-REX shoot the left ramp to start a T-Rex Encounter, be sure to read the display while the ball is stopped in the left inlane so you know what shots to hit during the mode.
4. Notice on the backboard of the game there are three inserts that spell MAP. Shoot the white dinosaur inserts to spell MAP, once completed shoot the left ramp to advance your paddock on the map and capture the next dinosaur earning rewards along the way.
5. HAVE FUN! This game has some amazing features play it a lot and learn more and more as you go. If you have questions definitely feel free to ask and I’ll help as much as I can as I also learn the game.

Also don’t forget that we have our Monthly Tournament this Sunday at 4PM. $1 entry fee and the format is 4-strikes group knockout. Jurassic Park will be in the tournament as well as most of our other 16 machines at the location!

Keep your eyes peeled in the coming months as we look to expand even more pinball at North End Pub and Market Square Lanes!

So we accidentally scheduled the selfie finals for August on Labor Day and we realize that will not work for everyone. As a result, we are pushing it back a week to Monday, September 9th, at 6PM instead. Same format as usual. So mark your calendars, September 2nd, Labor Day, no tournament, enjoy friends and family and food…September 9th, 4 strikes Selfie Tournament Finals at 6PM! Sorry for the inconvenience.

After a visit from a few more players over the past week here are the current selfie standings for August at North End Pub! Get those scores in on Prospector, Flash Gordon, and Iron Maiden!
