Title: A Kinda Pinball Question
Post by: RickInSaltLake on January 26, 2013, 12:04:42 PM

There used to be this local convenience store that had this game that was kinda like pinball. It had no flippers, but a series of holes in it and you would try and get the balls in these ennumerated holes. Pressing another button would rotate a series of numbers at the top. I have never known what this game was called and now it's bugging the hell out of me. Any help?

That is exactly what I was thinking of. It's a bingo machine.  Thank you tremendously...
