    10 balls for 5 cents. This is a pin table. There are four circular scoring pockets on the green playfield plus a row of eight scoring pockets along the bottom. All scoring pockets are gold-colored. All played balls will score a pocket. A small post at the bottom of each pocket prevents the balls that land in the pockets from exiting. When a new game is started, pushing the coin slide moves the posts upward just enough to allow the balls to exit the pockets and roll down to the ball serve trough. The name Plaball is shown on the upper playfield. On a game we saw (not pictured here), an access door is located on the bottom of the cabinet, in the front, below the coin slide. This door was hinged and bolt-latched with no lock and, unlike the cabinet, it was unfinished wood, suggesting it was not original to the game.
