[QUOTE="Worf, post: 38717, member: 1047"] 28 balls or so, actually. What happens is the software detects the length of time between hits - if a switch hasn't been activated in something like 5 games or 28 balls, it'll assume the switch is bad and compensate for it (other switches will score the shot). Making it during a normal game will reset it. And from a fresh install, the Android tables don't have the dot. What happens after play is unknown. However, on iOS, on all but one of the Williams/Bally/Midway tables, it's there by default. On the other platforms, it's not there (indicating a perfectly functional table). The dot is one of the reasons why Williams tables tend to play well - most other tables simply never score the shot and you get "cheated". For Williams, it doesn't and the table tries to make an alternative scoring method for the shot so play continues. In your case, what happens is you need to play better :). It's the other meaning of the dot. [/QUOTE]
