It basically simulated the real world pinball machines that you could smack or jostle a little too when the ball got stuck or was about to roll straight down the middle. They would lock up when the players did that too obviously, both to keep the machine from damage and, since those were generally arcade machines, so the players would buy another round.
I remember we put the front feet of the pinball machine on our metal cap boots (the thing isn’t light!) and the game didn’t care (after calming down). It didn’t really help though, the ball was just like slower, but it was fun.
