Right-Side Ball Return Gates

A subtype of Ball Return Gates positioned on the right side of the playfield, typically at the boundary between the right outlane and right inlane. These one-way metal flaps allow the ball to pass outward toward the drain path but block it from returning, channeling it along a designer-intended route. Right-side ball return gates appear less frequently than their left-side counterparts, since most Electromechanical era playfields concentrated save mechanics — such as Kickback assemblies — on the left. When present on the right, they often work in tandem with Slingshots to redirect ball flow and create asymmetric drain behavior.
