      Pros:

      *Nice unique slot machine system into lets build
      *You can purchase barricades to defend yourself
      *Earn money for killing any infected (Nice idea)
      *Good Counter board (Lets u know how much money u have)

      Cons:

      *Map is small
      *Bots love to steal items that drop from slot machines (No points taken)
      *Map is not very challenging especially on normal difficulty

      Conclusion:

      Well it is an amazing idea for lets build with the slot machines and all, quite addictive too!. Its good to build defenses against zombies, unfortunately the map size doesn't let u build too many of them. when you spin the machines and forget about them, its a laugh when the bots pick up whatever is there that dropped from the machine. It is also an easy lets build map unlike others I've played. I recommend this to first time players of a lets build map

      Pros:

      - Unique Slot $$$ Machines
      - Barricade Purchase
      - Runs very smoothly no bugs

      Cons:

      - Fences, Barricades are completely useless

      Conclusion:

      Overall this is a good map but need to do something about those fences and barricades to temp block them off at least won't die that easily for a single player like me especially playing with bots but still easy to win

      barricade purchase
      
      tough money saveings

      8.2

      Pros:

      -amazing mechanics, adds a lot to l4d experience
      -runs smooth, no bugs, despite of mechanics complexity

      Cons:

      -small, boring map
      -fence area is kinda useless, i built fences mostly for fun, not necessity and infected pour from everywhere anyway
      -slots win too often, i spinned all four at a time and got lots of items, no matter bots eat them
      -cash gaining sounds on each infected is a bit annoying

      Conclusion:

      A good map for a fast game. I will definitely play it a coupple of times more, but how many i can't tell because of the simplicity of the level. Most of the time i stood inside the building and shot in one direction. Pros win over cons greatly and i do recommend this map.

      Pros:

      -Wonderfully unique mechanic with earning money by killing infected.
      -Building your defensive wall is pretty cool.
      -The HUD displaying your money and part cost was also quite clever.

      Cons:

      -Map is very small; without the mechanics, there's very little to do.
      -With the slot machines, the bots love to steal whatever weapon or item comes out the instant it's spawned.

      Conclusion:

      Great idea and great carry-out, with the cost of there being little to do. I think that it would be amazing to see another map made with this system that had more space and variety. Well done, you scripted and put this together amazingly well if you ask me.

      Pros:

      -Great concept
      -Fun
      -Bug free

      Cons:

      -Game crashed after it was done. (minor problem)
      -Somethings like weapon spawns and items you can buy should be modified.

      Conclusion:

      A really good unique map. However the item purchasing system could use some work. Maybe if you could choose to buy a weapon of your choice for X amount of dollars.

      Pros:

      -good concept
      -works great
      -good environment

      Cons:

      -buying barricades only wastes your time and money
      -guns from the slot machine are so rare and the bots take them because there is only 1
      -having to buy, place, buy, place gets extremely annoying and requires you to leave the building

      Conclusion:

      Great map though you should change the count of the weapons that are spawned to at least 2, move the buy area to an area that is not flooded with infected even with the most expensive barricades, and the barricades should be a bit better because I failed with all of the most expensive barricades, then decided to not build any and won.
      
      OVER ALL AMAZING

      Pros:

      - Seemingly bug free
      - Amazing scripting
      - Clean graphics
      - Very unique

      Cons:

      - The environment you hold out in could be made bigger/have more places to explore but that really isn't what let's build maps are about I suppose.

      Conclusion:

      This is the first time I've seen this kind of thing being done so well.

      7.5

      Pros:

       - A good concept for a money system
       - Another good concept for the slot machines
       - A cool delivery method for your escape
      - An overall fun concept

      Cons:

      - Slot machines can be triggered by hitting them with gun fire.  This results in bots wasting hundreds of dollars on items you don't want.
      - While the upper tier fences state you "Get what you pay for" neither are better than the Chainlink Fence, which is the best deployable in the map bar none.
      - Money comes way too quickly, so once you obtain T2 weapons including the Magnum, you can pretty much corner camp until you have money for the car.

      Conclusion:

      I've been looking forward to trying this one since I read about work being done on it over the Source mailing list.  It was a highly unique concept and I love the slot machine idea.  However, there's some gameplay balancing that I think would vastly improve the map's core systems.
      
      Namely, the Chainlink Fence should be moved to the top tier of walls, and the others knocked down.  Second, gunfire should not trigger slot machines.  If you have even one maniac bot with a shotgun, you'll be buying dozens of items you don't want.  That hardly slows you down, however, as it seems corner camping as soon as the upstairs is walled off (a few walls can slow infected flow in the front yard, but are largely unneeded) is an extremely viable strategy.  You can hit the slot machine whenever you want to try for more gear and pretty safely dominate the map from this position.  It renders many of the coolest elements unnecessary.
      
      Long story short, I think with some pricing changes and such this could be a great map!  I encountered a few bugs that I'll drop a PM to the author about, but definitely nothing crippling and I know first hand how hard it is to qaush them on a project like this.
      
      I'm looking forward to the next patch!
      
      Finally, putting a brief break in the early horde here and there would give the bots a chance to heal - as it stands, they will outright refuse to through the first 5-6 minutes resulting in a bit of an artificial challenge.

      Pros:

      - Original take on the research/build genre.
      
      - Good aesthetics.
      
      - Good humor (loved the signs, kiddie play center, and toaster barricade)
      
      - You managed to completely eliminate the need for waiting to build/unlock stuff. 
      
      - Fun money system, the sound of getting paid to killed zombies makes it so much more fun.
      
      - Slot machines
      
      - Bots are pretty smart and can use the slot machines on their own and get their own weapons.
      
      - Fairly easy to get the hang of
      
      - Finally, a convincing escape vehicle cinematic.
      
      - Overall, just a lot of fun

      Cons:

      - The map was a little confusing at first. The options you have for things you can do is a little overwhelming but this is usually just a first-time thing. I can't think of anything you could do to streamline the tutorial.
      
      - Playing single player on "Normal" difficulty was ridiculously easy and short. Found myself with an overage of cash without even aiming to save. While increasing the difficulty to advanced or even expert might of had me playing a bit safer the car build time still felt short. Finished the map in less than 15 mins.
      
      - I would have the slot machines "fail" a little more often. I never even had to use an ammo pile because I had so many weapons to choose from.
      
      - Because of the overage of weapons it was a lot more logical to just spend money on building the car instead of using barricades.
      
      - There was a missing model that seemed to be a melee weapon I couldn't use.

      Conclusion:

      Overall, great map with some original gameplay. Simple, casual and has an arcade feel. Feels like a true sequel to rimrook's LBAR. Seems like it has a lot of replay value but there's a lot less strategy involved compared to other Lets Build maps but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm sure it could use a bit of improvement on the difficulty side but as it stands its totally enjoyable.
      
      Final word: Download it and play it with friends!
