ORIGIN: UK Pocketeer

VARIANTS: Pocket Pachinko.

GAMEPLAY: Another against-the-clock game. A lever on the left sets the time, and causes the two pairs of green flippers to begin opening and closing. You fire the balls through the spinning star at the top and down through the pins in an attempt to shoot the balls between the flippers. When the time runs out, a gate closes just above the shooter to stop any more balls being fired into play.
