4-in-Line Drop Targets

Four Drop Targets arranged in a line rather than a traditional side-by-side Bank Drop Targets configuration. The in-line arrangement places targets sequentially along a lane or channel, so the ball drops them one after another as it travels through. IPDB catalogs approximately 3 machines with this configuration, including Paragon (1979) by Bally. The four-stage in-line sequence was the longest in-line drop target arrangement in common use, creating an extended gauntlet for the ball to clear.
