Quoted from PIN_GROOM:I continue to be amazed at the number of pinsiders (not regular folk) who insist that pinball is EVER random or luck. I've never seen a pinball vaporize and reappear elsewhere in the game. It is 100% always physics. Our inability to predict the ball's motion does not mean that it isn't governed by physics. Power outages...I guess that's random luck.
OTOH, who am I to shake my fist at your voodoo?
Have fun and don't sweat it!
This, exactly. There is no luck. Only complex sequences of geometry, spin, friction and gravity. Just because we are unable of calculating such on the fly does not mean it's now random or luck.
