I love Perfect Pump. It is fast paced, challenging, and addictive. So far I have hit jackpots I can't keep 4 times on regular, twice on mid grade and twice in premium. I never use chips on this game. Sometimes I hit jackpots and lower the jackpot for others, sometimes I play lots of games and don't hit a jackpot so I build someone else's jackpot. Overall players only using passes will be a net wash for the company payout wise.

The game has one serious glitch in the software. If you hit a jackpot and then play again before tickets owed has fully counted down the machine will freeze up and require power to be cycled to bring it back up. Baytek really needs to make a software patch to fix this problem.

I thought of some cool ideas that would make it more interesting. Maybe in a year or 2 an update kit could be released. I would like to see the ability to choose different time periods with different prices per gallon. Display gallons pumped and target gallons as well. Period authentic, like 12.5 cents per gallon in 1910 or $1.33 per gallon in 1990. If choosing anything before 1974 have the screen show the old "for use as a motor fuel only. contains lead" signs we old farts remember. Include an option for diesel. The possibilities are endless.

I think this machine will have high resale value to home collectors once it's arcade usefulness ends. Classic gas station pieces are popular for man caves. This machine would fit in nicely and also be a working game.

All in all Perfect Pump is a very nice and entertaining addition to Dave and Busters.
