Technical

Has a big area where balls pop from plungers. If one of the balls does not land in a slot, the game does a ball search with the plungers. If it still dose not find it, it pops again.

Incomplete (?) list of voice samples: "You win!" "Sorry, popping again." "Sorry." "Push POP to pop the balls!" "JACKPOT!!!!!"
