Monopoly - that rotating flipper, and what else should I know?
So we just got a Monopoly. Sweet game. My first DMD. Love playing it.
But I decided to remove the rubber on that rotating flipper. With the rubber on there, the ball gets stuck when you hit the waterworks hole, and you have to mash the regular flippers just to jar the ball so it will eventually pop out. Without the rubber, it pops the ball out with relative ease.
Are there any drawbacks to doing this? The bat seems pretty sturdy, but do I run the risk of cracking it with a good ball strike? Are there any rubbers out there that won't grab the ball so much? Can I coat the rubber with triple thick or something to make it slide better? What do Monopoly owners do?
This is my first pin newer than 1988. Are there any other quirks I should know about with this game? It doesn't look like it has the latest ROMs. Is it generally a good idea to have the latest version on there?
