When you get the extra ball lights to come on is it supposed to do the following?'

Extra ball insert lights come on as a set either on the left or right side

You can move them to the other side by hitting the flipper

only 1 of the two slots will actually give you an extra ball.


I hope this isnt too confusing and if it is I will try to explain better but I think anyone with the game will know what I mean.

Any help would be great.
 
When I get the Extra Ball Light, it normally does not come on in pairs. The Lane Change does move the extra ball light when you hit the flippers, but only one lane is lit at any one time. Unless you're really good and have multiple exta ball opportunities maybe? I did not think it did that though.

Exactly. Generally one Extra ball light will be lit and you can move it to the lane the ball is going to go down to get the extra ball by hitting the flipper/lane change buttons. In the two years I owned Pinbot I think I had two Extra Ball lights lit at the same time only a few times. It can happen.

Mine does the same as this.
 
Thanks for the insight guys. YOu have made my day 100% better now knowing this. Its hard to judge gameplay sometimes on machines you havent put alot of time into. My gut said something was wrong but you never know.
 
+1 .... No doubles here. Just one of the 4 lanes lit and movable with the flipper/lane change buttons.

Same with mine. Never doubled up lanes.

I was trying to think of a circumstance where this would happen... I noticed that if you're having a crappy game the in/outlane seems to automatically get lit up for an extra on ball 3.

If you then advanced the 25/50/75k hole at the upper left to light the extra ball before scoring the existing lit lane 2 separate Extra Ball ball scenario's would be active.
