I played a lot of pinball back in the late 70s/early 80s too. I gotten pretty good playing the Evel Knievel electronic pinball machine. But I hate it when arcade operators would make the pinball table so steep that the ball goes fast straight for the gap between the flippers. If I was smarter then, I'd would sacrifice one ball (tilt) to put something underneath the front legs to level out the play-field more (if I could get away with it). I don't know if that would cause permanent "tilt" or not.

I too spent way too much of my time (69 - 70's) at the local fish and chip shop playing their pinball machines.

My most favourite was a Williams machines called Klondike.

Could really get into playing at a site such as this

Pinball is definitely a skill game as there is no random number generator. Because there is no random number generator, it is LEGALLY considered a skill game.

As for getting a lucky shot, that is another thing.

I think it sounds really interesting, pinball as a skill game.

Pinball game have so many bumpers and switches on the board.You play this game very serious if your mind is not to game then lose the points when you hit with ball the bumpers and switches you get more points.

Well, about your game Pinball, I would like to see how would you make it as a skill game. I would be trying it whenever I have time.

Pinball was before a game of luck, but for sure, since everything around us, evolve, so as the games as well.

I wouldn't hold your breath for an answer!

Does lead to a question though: Grand Virtual have a "Pinball" slot, where you play a simple pinball machine for bonus prizes. But are the prizes based ONLY on your skill/luck - or something else...?

Yeah I have noticed and how dumb am I not to see that this was a very old post. Well, never had played a pinball like that before.

Haha, what a fool am I.

That is interesting - I always assumed (and from my experience) all the so-called "skill-based" bonus games were predetermined, but gave the player the illusion of effecting the outcome. Can anyone confirm or disprove this?

Back on topic - I wouldn't mind trying my luck gambling with pinball. Lord knows I did it enough as a kid/teenager playing Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II - I once had a pool going where I could beat some other kid 30 times in a row at Mortal Kombat and walked away with something like $70 (at 13 that was fantastic!).
