[QUOTE="Buzz1126, post: 139787, member: 3964"] I too believe the bagatelle games were much like the more modern Pachinko games, and not intended to be shaken. I played (shhhhh...) the early pinball games where you lined up balls in either a vertical or horizontal row, diagonal too. The owner would pay off a certain amount, depending on what you, for lack of a better word, wagered. They sorta frowned on nudging. Now, what I call true pinball machines (flippers, bumpers, scoring, bound and bonus multipliers and all that) I have never been in an arcade or bowling alley or anywhere that prohibited nudging them. Never, but that's just me. Nudging is an art, a science. To be able to control an object you can't touch, to change its path simply by knowing when and how much to push...one can prevent a SDTM drain by slightly swaying the player end to the left and then right...I've seen it done. The first time I saw it done was by a USAF airman, and my jaw dropped. "Pinball Dave", you know who you are... [/QUOTE]
