Oktoberfest, American Pinball, 2019.<\/p>\n

This is one of the most modern machines, and as such it has a big monitor in the middle where video features display.<\/p>\n

Above the screen one can see roller coaster tracks and a ferris wheel, balloons, notes of music, and other amusements. We also see the end of a beer barrel with Oktoberfest Pinball on Tap written across it. \u00a0Between that and the screen we see orange peaked roofs on what appear to be white buildings, possibly German castles.<\/p>\n

To the left, a heavyset man wearing a green checked shirt and lederhosen is holding a beer stein that probably contains a two liter of beer. He\u2019s got a long thick white beard and an unnaturally large grin. He\u2019s also wearing a green hat we can assume is in the same style as the lederhosen.<\/p>\n

To the right, a woman in a green and pink dress with green corset, long blonde braided hair, and stockings that come up to her knees is holding a roll of tickets \u00a0of the raffle or amusement park ride variety. Let\u2019s just call her a beer maid, because that\u2019s the look they\u2019re going for.<\/p>\n
