    description
    Left outlane kickbacks are [[gameplay-feature:kickback]] mechanisms built into the left of the two [[gameplay-feature:outlanes]]: a solenoid at the foot of the lane fires the ball back up onto the playfield instead of letting it reach the drain.[1] This is the ordinary home of the device,[2] and a ruleset that lights "the kickback" without saying which one usually means this one. The fitting has been in continuous service since the [[technology-generation:electromechanical]] years. [[manufacturer:bally]] used it through the late 1960s and 1970s, it became a staple of the solid-state era on machines such as *[[title:high-speed]]* (1986, [[manufacturer:williams]]), and [[manufacturer:jersey-jack]] still builds it into current games. Its relatives are variations on the same rescue rather than on its position: [[gameplay-feature:magnetic-kickbacks]] pull the ball clear with an electromagnet rather than striking it, [[gameplay-feature:subway-kickbacks]] swallow it and return it somewhere else on the playfield, and [[gameplay-feature:virtual-kickbacks]] dispense with the hardware and do the whole thing in software.
