Pinball is a coin-operated arcade game played on a pinball machine, a slanted board usually enclosed in glass. The objective of pinball is to keep the metal ball in play on the board, and score points by propelling the ball against pins and other obstacles placed around the game board. The player controls the ball with two flippers at the bottom of the board, which are moved by pressing buttons on either side of the pinball machine.
