    The phone app and conventional levels are all OK, but for about $4 on a Stern machine you can add a bubble level that will never move:

    For Bally and Williams it is like $15

    I am a big fan of these...
    If you bump the machine and move it a little, is it still level?
    Just check the bubble...

    Quoted from Murphdom:

    What pitch does everyone like to put their machines at?

    I like to think that the level should have the bubble in the middle, which I think is at about 6 degrees.
    However, on some machines, some people like to use 7 to 7.5 degrees, so they don't have the bubble in the middle.
    If you go to some tournaments, I think machines are at the steeper slope sometimes, to make it more difficult to win.
    Personally, I always like the bubble to be in the middle.
