Quoted from jrpinball:

I was out in Vegas back in the '80s, and I remember seeing kids in the lobby of one casino getting free games on the videogames by scuffing their shoes on the carpet to build up a static charge, then touching the cash box door. It seemed to work.

Did that
(got caught though)

also why the side rails on older games go down so far
on wood rails you could drill a small hole in the side , push a wire though and activate the switches
