Big Shot is a pinball machine designed by Ed Krynski and produced by Gottlieb in 1973.
The table has a pool theme and is highly regarded among skilled players and collectors due to the level of skill required to hit all 14 drop targets in the game.
The 8 ball is lit by either going through the middle gate or by stopping in the center pit.
When stopped in the center pit, a diverter (also called a gate) will change position, allowing a ball drained in the right outlane to return to the plunger lane.
In the Wii/PSP version however, the table's goal is to clear either one side of drop targets (either solids or stripes) including the eight ball, when the player achieves this it will unlock a table for free play and it is incorrectly marked as released in 1974 on some digital versions.
