The game at my local bowling alley was a pitch and bat style, and by timing the bat just so we could catch the ball on the screw that held the bat, then let the ball roll down the bat, swing again, and get a home run almost every time. We'd rack up a bunch of free games, then play it the way you were supposed to. There were probably days when the machine was played hundreds of times but only collected a handful of nickels, or maybe even just one.
