Danger Zone
- The moment of time immediately after an aggressive save when everyone is watching the screen flash “DANGER”, “DANGER DANGER”, and wondering if the machine will tilt or be safe.
- The subsequent game state where you have to play super carefully, because you know any further move will tilt you out. Obviously extra potent on games with big bonuses, or when trying to make a ball 3 comeback.
