Pinball can be boiled down to two things:
1. Shoot the flashing ramps
2. don't drain

Congratulations, you've won!

Every pinball player is proud of themselves at some point at 20k 20million or hitting that ramp 3 times, its lizard brain stuff

Oh snap: I’m playing a pin with no ramps. I guess I just auto-lose.

Older games can replace this rule with shooting spinner or drop targets.

But eh, you can't "win" at pinball unless there is a ruleset, other than just doing anything. The same would be true of any video or board game of this nature. Is it possible to win at Pac-man? What constitutes winning at pac-man? Playing the game until you roll the score counter, or you get to the kill screen? Under this idea, you can't win at Pac-man either.

Might need to replace the battery in your sarcasm detector. :D

Any pin you come off of that has you stating "well, I kicked ass in that game", that's my definition of "win". Winning at pinball is one of the most euphoric feelings you can have game wise (I did say "game wise" ;) )
