Back in the day this was simply a way of possibly tempting someone to throw in an extra quarter or two to simply progress further into the game. This was a calculated plan to increase their bottom line. A machine on location w/ this feature would earn an additional 11% or so. Just a simple & effective gimmick to keep the funds flowing into the pinball industry back then.
