Very cool and I like the pound symbol on his outfit.

Too bad they can't make a remake like this.

In response to "cmjb13's" comments on the "PYL video slot machine" at the hardrockcasino.com site:

.

Ah, a giveaway that this is a site in the UK!

I don't patronize online gambling sites, but I did go there to check it out and found that it not only has a Monopoly video slot as well, but one for The Price is Right ("including Plinko") and for a game show there they call Play Your Cards Right -- the UK version of the Card Sharks game show that aired in the U.S. back in the 20th century!

(Of course, we know that the Card Sharks game show that aired in the U.S. in the current century was so bad, the Visual Pinball computer pinball game was better!)

Also, in response to "cjm13b's" second comment in his post:

They have -- it's in the Real Deal Casino/Shuffle Master Edition program that I bought for my own computer last summer.  Here's a link to the manufacturer's website with more information and a link to their online store, if you can't find this program in a retail outlet near you:

Of course, it's not quite like the PYL video slot at the hardrockcasino.com site…

(Because the Whammy in this game has a U.S. dollar sign on his chest instead of the UK pound symbol!)

Actually when I said remake, I meant game show.
