- Flipcommons AI Descriptions (GameplayFeature)Electrically controlled gates that open or close based on game logic, routing the ball along different playfield paths depending on the current game state. Unlike passive [[gameplay-feature:ball-return-gates]], electric gates are driven by solenoids and can change position mid-play in response to completed objectives or timed events. They enable designers to reward progress by unlocking new ball routes or blocking off high-value areas until certain conditions are met. [[manufacturer:stern-pinball]] has used electric gates on modern machines such as *[[title:game-of-thrones]]* (2015) and *[[title:deadpool]]* (2018), where they dynamically alter shot paths during multiball and mode play.
