This is the key.

Darts are boring, but a commentator yelling ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY keeps the audience focused.

Soccer had lots of slow building plays, them, GOOOAAAAAAALLLL!!!!!

you would need to edit the games down and just show highlights of key strategies from players, great shot combos made, ect. You could even have slow-mo replays with graphics imposed on the screen showing the ramps needed to hit (think baseball pitching location replays). The announcers would need to have knowledge of each games rules. The game would have to be edited to look “head to head” game play to build excitement.

If tv can make boring events like pawn shops, curling, and home remodeling into exciting shows, then the only limitation with pinball is editing and announcing.

Ever watch The curse of Oak island? That entire show is build up with little reward. Just pure drama. And people watch it.

You’d need tiny cameras in the game on the apron or on the playfield plastics.

Maybe pinball is like curling? People don’t know how awesome it is because they haven’t been exposed to it in the right way. BC16A672-F8CE-4CC8-B760-6EE6E5E7010A (resized).jpeg
