Does anyone else remember this "ball game"?

It was like the opposite of Pachinko, where instead of the player launching the balls aiming for holes on the playfield, the game launched the balls, and your objective was to catch them with a little fork-shaped "basket" at the bottom.

The basket was just directly connected to the handle as opposed to having a joystick - controlled motor to move it. I believe it used the same sized balls as a pinball machine.

It was a fixed 10 ball game, and it gave you tickets based on how many balls you caught. I don't think it advertised a giant "jackpot" score or anything of that nature

To my recollection it was a shorter cabinet so younger kids could play / reach, and there were vocal instructions that would come on when you put a quarter / token in it.
 
I don't know what it is but I can tell you I do remember what you're talking about. I work in the casinos as a kid in the arcade and they hand them for the little kitties. But God I couldn't tell you what it was called. An extremely vague memory
