Flipper Gimmick

Flipper Gimmick highlights pinball machines that introduce unique flipper‑focused mechanics—staged or timed flipper shots, balls dropped or frozen onto a flipper, magnets or captive toys that change shot dynamics—turning standard play into distinct skill challenges. Demolition Man exemplifies this category: its SuperPin design includes a ball‑freeze/lock that drops an extra frozen ball above the upper‑left flipper and magnetic/captive elements that make flipper staging and targeted flipper shots central to scoring strategies.
