What is a "pinball machine"?

A pinball machine is an arcade game where players use flippers to keep a metal ball in play, aiming to score points by hitting various targets on the machine. The ball bounces off ramps, bumpers, and other obstacles, while players try to prevent it from falling into a drain at the bottom of the machine. Points are scored by hitting specific targets or completing tasks, and the game continues until the ball is lost. Pinball machines often feature flashing lights, sounds, and intricate designs, making them exciting and engaging for players.
