Pinball makes a comeback

Stephanie Mae M. Tujan

JUST when you thought arcade games only cater to kids, SM Lanang Premier’s The Great 3-Day Sale’s “Blast-off Pin Game” made the adult crowd even more excited.

Shoppers lined up and waited for their turn to step into the riser and play the Interactive Pinball Machine game powered by StreetBy (Your Super App).

The pinball is a classic arcade game that electrified the 3 Day Sale held at the Atrium. Shoppers presented a minimum of P 1,500 pesos single on-date purchase receipt to play the game.

I have never seen adults having so much fun at the game area, so did the senior citizens who were hilarious and loud as they mercilessly had to press the phone just to beat the top score and sometimes yelling for the pinball to go faster and hit the flippers.

The interactive Blast-Off Game is like the regular classic arcade game pinball, without inserting coins to start the game, but download a Streetby App and encode pin to play the game. Typically pinball consists of three balls, essentially making up your three turns. The player uses the buttons on their phone to control the flippers and direct the ball to various parts of the machine.

Highest Pointer for the day took home gift certificates from participating brands and top prizes of the day which include, a P25,000 Brand New Breville Coffee Brewer (Ralph Simon Celi), Stay for 2 at Park Inn by Radisson Davao (Isabel Rose Abapo) and a Brand New Samsung Galaxy A50S phone (Symon Lawrence Yuson).

Players were also treated to a sweet delight as simultaneously, Sugar Rush Just Desserts Fair was also housed at the event area. With a collection of dessert places that sell stuff like gelato, cookies, cakes, and the always-present ice cream, it truly did provide their week with a sweet ending. The dessert fair was participated by Milky Cakes & Sweets, Miss Baker, Chef Nath’s Cronuts-Davao, Maura Shore Creamery, Confex & Co. Bakehouse, and Park Inn by Radisson Davao.
