    Flippers (3), Pop bumpers (2), Slingshots (2), Kick-out hole (1), Spinning target (1), Captive ball (1), Scoop (1), Elevated mini-playfield. Ramp diverter. Left outlane kickback. Up to 5-ball multiball. Speech. Captive ball in recessed mini-playfield hits resettable bowling pins. Bowling ball pop bumper caps. An actual floor rug was included with each factory purchase to place under the machine. The backglass is a translite, not glass. On the elevated mini-playfield are a garage building, two targets, a looping lane, and a scoop. If the player hits the two targets a couple of times, a car mode will be lit, then shooting the scoop on this mini-playfield will start the car mode. The garage door will open, revealing a car mounted on it, acting as a bash toy. Also, shooting the loop adds another letter in B-O-W-L-I-N-G. Spelling this word lights "Let's go bowling" in the scoop and at the left-side kick-out hole on the main playfield. Scoring this lit feature in either place feeds a captive ball to the oscillating ball launcher in the recessed Bowling Alley in center playfield. Pressing a launch button shoots this ball towards the ten pins. A special algorithm decides which of the ten pins will be "hit" depending on the angle of the ball launcher. There is some randomness in this algorithm to avoid repetitiveness.
    ipdb.notes
    This is a revised edition of their original model, Dutch Pinball's 2016 'The Big Lebowski� Pinball (First Model)' and first shipped in August 2019. The manufacturer told us that there are no cosmetic changes from that 2016 model although they now provide the option to add a lighted apron as an upgrade. As of August 2021, they indicated they soon would have other expansions and that the software is still in development. In March 2022, this list of revisions was received from the manufacturer. We quote here what was said: � Cosmetically nothing changed � Software is being updated still and is backwards compatible with older production games. � We have made some changes in the PCBAs. But still everything is backwards compatible � We also made some changes in the cable harnesses, most significantly in the cabinet with the bowling alley. Also all compatible, so it's possible to upgrade an old game with the new cable harnesses. � We have introduced a new CPU (PC) Board in 2021 with a new OS. The new OS is compatible with most Mini-ITX boards. The old OS is only compatible with the original board. � There's a significant change with the stepper motor that drives the car on the mini playfield. First the motor was below the main playfield, but we moved it to the mini playfield. This makes it much easier to remove the MPF and service the game. Older games can be upgraded. From the above list, we don't know exactly when during production of this 2019 "Second Model" that any of these changes occurred nor if they went into effect simultaneously. The model number DP-01-A0000 was provided to us by the manufacturer. We don't know if it appears on the game itself. No specific/limited quantity is expected to be made, per the manufacturer. USA price when new: $12,500.00. EU price when new: � 11.995,00 (included VAT). This game is based on the 1998 movie "The Big Lebowski" and features characters and events from this movie.
