ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a play feature for a pinball game. It comprises a runway or ball path with a plurality of holes disposed along the side of the runway. The holes are associated with varying scores. The skill of the player striking the plunger determines the hole through which the ball passes, thus registering a score when a wireform below the hole is depressed, signaling a score. If the ball is struck too hard, then it travels the length of the entire runway and no points are registered. One-way wire gates prevent the ball from rolling back toward the plunger.
