Back in the '82 - '84 era when pinball was a quarter the challenge for the PLAYER was beat the operator out of a free game. The object of the game or the challenge was get a REPLAY ! If the game got too easy and players kept getting higher scores the operator would jack up the points required to hit the replay. Another operator trick was to spray wax the table so the ball would fly all over the place even right over the flippers making ball impossible to control. Seasoned players would not touch the game until the wax wore down . Sadly in some cases the operator wanted too much and players started walking away along with with video pinball and video games came the downfall of the arcade save for a few select areas of the country and other countries . Yes the problem is finding a balance that is fair to both the player AND the operator as well.</p></blockquote><p></p>
