ABSTRACT:
Exemplary embodiments for playing a game having a slot mode and a pinball mode generally include activating the slot mode to display different combinations of symbols and create a slot credit score, activating the pinball mode to play a pinball game and create a pinball credit score, and adding the pinball credit score to the slot credit score when the game switches from the pinball mode to the slot mode. The pinball game may include at least two flippers for operation by a player. The slot mode may switch to the pinball mode upon display of a combination of symbols including a pinball symbol. Machine-readable media may embody instructions for causing one or more machines to perform operations related to the game. Systems for playing the game may include an input, a processor that executes instructions in response to an input, and a display.
