    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Because for the first 70 years off pinball they were commercial machines made for locations. You probably wouldn't violently shake your own vending machine to get the fucking Funyuns out either, but I would.

    Funyuns, hell no. Maybe doritos tho

    The whole point of this is, is it cheating? Of course it is, the ball in the outlanes is basically out of bounds. Same as in football ,basketball or soccer. Once it goes there, it's a turnover. If not, what's the purpose of the out lanes?
