    For the pops nested way back in the corner and buried where you can barely see them and they do not put the ball in danger of being drained. I ask what is the point of even engineering them in?

    As other have stated, I like the randomness pops provide. Some of these pops are so adept at draining the ball that you really have to be on your toes to fight the randomness and unpredictability that pops can provide.

    Quoted from pinfarmer:

    My favorite EM is Jumping jack because it has those wonderful pops above the flippers. Perfect.
    Yes I think I meant the pointless cluster at the top. Pops are often great in pre 90s machines.

    You should give Bally Flip Flop a whirl. Or Gottlieb Abra Ca Dabra. I wish these two were solid state and not EMs.
