Abstract
A game ball cradle is positioned upon the playfield of a pinball game. A player-controlled solenoid plunger mechanism 'pops' a ball positioned within the cradle into the air. A wire form jump rope is rotatably connected to an electric motor. The jump rope is positioned so that when it is rotated, it will pass under a game ball that has been properly 'popped' by the player. A switch indicates to the game microprocessor that the jump rope has completed a revolution. Optical detectors indicate to the game microprocessor that the game ball is within the cradle so that the electric motor may be activated and, upon completion of a successful 'jump', the player's score incremented and the speed of the jump rope rotation increased.
