description
Flipcommons AI Descriptions (GameplayFeature) A curved piece of metal mounted above a hole or sinkhole in the playfield that catches the ball and directs it to a specific location, typically funneling it into a [[gameplay-feature:id:79]] beneath. Scoops became a signature feature of late-1980s and 1990s playfield design, first appearing prominently on [[manufacturer:id:714]]' *[[title:id:1412]]* (1988). They provide a smooth, visible ball capture — the ball rolls into the curved trough and drops into the mechanism below — and often serve as the entry point for mode starts, locks, and major awards. Their raised profile makes them a prominent visual element on the playfield. used
