    description
    Right outlane ball return gates are [[gameplay-feature:right-side-ball-return-gates]] fitted at the right [[gameplay-feature:outlanes]] — a hinged metal flap the ball can push through in one direction and not the other,[1] fixing which way traffic runs at the bottom right of the playfield. Nothing about the gate is powered or earned: it is a strip of metal on a pivot, and it does the same thing on every ball. That cheapness is why it turns up on so many playfields, fitted across four decades of machines from [[manufacturer:bally]], [[manufacturer:williams]], [[manufacturer:gottlieb]], [[manufacturer:sega]] and [[manufacturer:maresa]], and why designers reached instead for a [[gameplay-feature:detour-gates]] when they wanted the ball's route to depend on what the player had done.

    A thing the pinball can go through in one direction but not the other. You can often find gates at the end of the plunger lane.
