ABSTRACT:
A pinball machine which includes a scoring mechanism is provided such that the player corresponding to the game element that last struck the ball is credited with all subsequent points. Such scoring mechanism can be repeatedly biased to allocate points to different players throughout the play of the game. Scoring elements that bias the scoring mechanism in favor of one of the players may include active elements, which also propel the ball, or passive scoring elements.
