- Flipcommons AI Descriptions (GameplayFeature)A hole in the playfield used as a target — the ball drops in, scores, and is either ejected back into play or consumed depending on the game's design. Sinkholes overlap with related mechanisms such as [[gameplay-feature:gobble-holes]], which end the ball, and [[gameplay-feature:cellar-holes]], which route it beneath the playfield. The term is a broad one, encompassing various hole-based scoring devices across pinball's history. In early machines, sinkholes were among the primary scoring elements on the playfield, and their placement defined the risk-reward geography of the game — every approach to a sinkhole carried the possibility of draining nearby.
