Ball got stuck behind gumball machine. Wouldn't budge. Wouldn't reset. I think there's another ball back there as well at the time the screenshot was taken.
TABLE: TZ
ISSUE: BALL STUCK IN GUMBALL MACHINE TRAIL
REPEATABLE: YES (1%)
DESCRIPTION:
Just confirming that I've had the same issue, though very rarely, approx. twice in 20 games.
When there are 4 balls in the gumball machine at start up, the 4th is sometimes lodged in the trail above, when a load gumball shot is made with a 5th ball, the bottom ball ejects into play and the 2 above drop down leaving a gap as the 4th remains in the trail (just barely visible), at this point play is unhampered; subsequently, loading the next ball, it becomes trapped (and fully visible) in the trail above the one that was originally stuck.
You can hear them clicking together.
No amount of nudging or slam tilt will dislodge the original (4th) ball so that it can drop into the machine and the other follow.
After a lengthy pause a ball will be loaded into the launcher but the camera stays focus on the play field.
The ball can be launched by tapping the right side of the screen but the flippers are inop until it drains.
Note: I was able to dislodge the stuck balls after loosing the relaunch and starting a new ball by hitting the gumball load sequence again.
Seems rare, but it does happen ... and is repeatable.
