BALL CUPPING

Japan Flag   Can't Save the Ball   

Green tick  Catch the ball in the bowl
Red X  Miss the ball
Skull icon  Fate decides when and where the ball will drop

To start the game, the contestant has to hit a ball into the top of a giant pachinko machine. As soon as they've hit the ball they must run down a flight of stairs, to the side of the machine, and pick up a bowl.
Now the contestant has to catch the ball as it falls out of the bottom of the machine, from a narrow pathway between the machine and a mud pit. The ball will drop out over the mud pit, so the contestant must dive for it and catch the ball safely in their bowl to win the game.
