    Not cheating. Not overtly damaging to the machine, either. Set your tilts correctly and the user will pay for it.

    I agree it is a bit rude to do it in someone's collection in casual play though, but more for cabinet bumpage and floor damage than anything else.

    Quoted from zacaj:

    I don't think you should be able to do that to machines, but if the owner has the machine set up so you can do it without tilting/etc, then it's 'legal'. I set my machines up so that you'll tilt if you do it, and I think that should be the standard at tournaments

    You need to check your Genie tilt Zac.... I was able to slide on it about 1/2 the time. The other 1/2 it tilted though. I've had issues with system 1 tilts like that in the past where it seems to time out.... doesn't matter what boardset is in it either, I think it must be the 'age' of the ring/bob, maybe a dead spot on the plumb bob? Tried polishing it but no difference.... time to just put a new one in there (or maybe try one of those new electronic ones)
