It does have a cool feature such as the Roulette Gopher Wheel set inside the playfield, and the quirky gopher does cause some funny moments. The fifth and final table is designed by Ray Tanzer and Jon Norris in 1993, called 'Tee'd Off.' This is a humorous golf-themed table that heavily focuses on a mischievous gopher, with inspiration from the comedy film Caddyshack. With lines like "Quit talkin' and start chalkin'" or "I hate these outlanes" … truer words were never spoken. There's even a cameo appearance from 'Cactus Jack' from the other table in this pack. Whether it's collecting the letters to 'Wizard' or 'Double' or racking up huge scores on the ramp or gaining skill shots with the 8-Ball on the playfield, there is a lot to do here.

The various ramps also work as "teleporters" - which teleport the ball to various sections on the table simulated by the lights at the back of the table.
