Perhaps you've seen a Bally Skill Roll before? There is a long history in arcade games where you insert a coin and that coin becomes part of the game. These are generally called "drop case" games, but I want to focus on one specific type of these games, that I'm calling "skill flick" machines.
Skill Flick: machines where you flick along the coin you put into the machine, and it's dependent on skill alone. So that means no machines with bagatelle-style or pachinko-style playfields that make the skill negligible. Some shots might be next to impossible, but the only thing standing in between you and a win is a Skilled Flick.
