I worked in an arcade growing up, and you're not wrong about a lot of them--but pinball doesn't fall into that bucket. Every pinball machine I've ever seen is played pretty straight. Sometimes they have nasty game mechanics, but they don't have the issues you describe here (which is much more in the pseudogambling, Dave and Buster's style of games).
- FabHK 3y agoWhat frequently happens with pinballs though is that the score you need to get a free replay adjusts automatically so that the ratio of free games stays at a certain target percentage.
- eropple 3y agoAbsolutely true. That said, in practice, if you can hit a high score (usually extremely high anyway), you can hit the next one. It doesn't get harder to do, you just have to be consistent.
