Definition

  • Today's pinball takes the form of a coin-operated arcade game wherein the player manipulates a small steel ball through various mechanisms seeking to obtain points, high scores, and extra games of play. Pinball, known in many parts of the world as flipper, has varied in popularity over the last century, but remains today a game of nostalgia from the days before video games.
