Abstract

See full text

A multi-surface pinball machine, which may be played by one or more players. The surfaces connect at an apex, and one or more players stand at the outer ends of each surface. An automatic flipper actuator is provided for play of the game with the number of players less than the number of surfaces. The machine can operatively be switched from the multi-player mode to as little as a single player mode. In such a mode, software controls the flippers of the missing players. Thus, the multi-surface table allows for either simultaneous competitive play by two or more players, or play by as little as one player competing against the machine.
