Travel from city to city playing Texas Hold ‘Em until you reach the WORLD POKER TOUR final table.  A dot matrix display is located in the center of the playfield, showing players their Hole cards, as well as the Flop, Turn, and River cards.  The player gets the Flop, Turn and River cards successively by making ramp shots located on the left and right sides of the playfield.  WORLD POKER TOUR pinball also features 5 Card Stud, where the player needs to hit cards on sixteen drop targets to get all the poker hands, such as two of a kind, three of a kind, etc all the way up to a Royal Flush. The game also offers a second level playfield, and a “mousetrap” that holds and releases balls for exciting Multiball play.
All the voices and images of the television show’s color commentators, Vince Van Patten and Mike Sexton, as well as Courtney Friel are featured in the game.

The game was designed by Steve Ritchie, former Williams great and the creator of Stern’s Elvis Pinball, among many other famous pinball machines.
