Being a Pat Lawlor table, ''No Good Gofers'' [[SignatureStyle shares many features from his previous tables]]: There's a third flipper that leads to a high-scoring jackpot shot; a set of dual inlanes leading to the lower left flipper; his standard soft-plunge skill shot; and a whirl-wheel that can alter ball direction.
