I hope all my American listeners had a great Thanksgiving.  I am very thankful for all of you.

Today is a cautionary tale.  Managed to set the game I was working on on fire... sleep is necessary, but so is remembering to remove a jumper before stopping for the night.

Scott Gullicks is part of Riot Pinball, LLC, who are best known for their creation "Wrath of Olympus", a full-size DMD-style pinball machine.

This year at Expo, Scott unveiled a new project, focused on portability and competition: "Dead Man's Hand", which is based heavily on the layout of the card-themed bingos.

Scott joins me to discuss his experience with bingos and the motivation behind the creation of "Dead Man's Hand".

Shortly after our interview, Riot Pinball announced a partnership with VPCabs to produce the game.  It is available now at https://virtualpinball.com/products/dead-mans-hand
