This symmetrical playfield design has a captive ball under the playfield which, when activated, rolls over a switch to score a bonus batch of points based on the value of the button when the feature is lit. The top kickout hole randomly selects bonus features to make the game more intriguing. A popup post between the flippers prevents ball drain down the middle of the playfield, but this post may be retracted just at the wrong time if the down-post targets are hit. An extra ball may be achieved if the center target is lit. This target also activates the “doodlebug” under the playfield. Finally, a free ball gate is incorporated into the machine if the appropriate combination of pop bumpers and rollovers are made. A fast-paced game that was popular in its day.
