This task is accomplished by shooting small metal ball bearings at the pucks using the attached guns.

This allows the ball bearings to roll into the players' bins more easily but can cause the pucks to indefinitely rest at the edges of the board.

In the 2010s rerelease, the board was sloped with a shallow grade, preventing the pucks from sliding on their own as much and making it easier to get them away from the borders.

The bearing can spin and roll within the plastic mold allowing greater puck movement and responsiveness to hits.

The hero in the exchange was portrayed by a young Tim Maynard, a Shakespearean actor who transitioned into daytime soap opera acting.
