An apparatus provides interlevel play for a pinball game having an inclined playfield. The apparatus includes an elevated surface mounted above the playfield for supporting a rolling ball thereon. The elevated surface has an aperture therein for receiving the rolling ball therethrough, and a trap door is movable between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the trap door extends substantially the length of the aperture to support the rolling ball thereon. In the open position, the rolling ball is allowed to be ejected through the aperture and onto the elevated surface. An ejecting mechanism is also provided for ejecting the rolling ball from underneath the elevated surface, through the aperture, and onto the elevated surface.
