Back Dual Inlanes

    description
    Dual inlanes are pairs of [[gameplay-feature:inlanes]] running side by side on the same flank of the playfield, so that the ball has two ways of being fed back to the flipper instead of one.[1] Each lane carries its own rollover, which is most of the point: doubling the lane gives a ruleset two switches to a side where it had one, and two lit lamps for the player to work between. The arrangement came in towards the end of the [[technology-generation:electromechanical]] years — [[manufacturer:gottlieb]] was using it by the middle 1970s — and it has stayed in modern practice, on machines such as *[[title:the-hobbit]]* (2015, [[manufacturer:jersey-jack]]) and *[[title:ghostbusters]]* (2016, [[manufacturer:stern-pinball]]). Doubling one flank does not oblige the other: [[gameplay-feature:left-dual-inlanes]] and [[gameplay-feature:right-dual-inlanes]] turn up alone more often than they turn up as a pair.
