Diner is a pinball machine produced by Williams. The objective of the game is to serve all customers in a diner. The table was marketed with the slogan "Its fresh! Its fast! Its hot!".
Gameplay
One to four players can play. Each player gets 3 balls per game. Serving all 5 customers (Haji, Babs, Boris, Pepe, and Buck) lights "Dine Time", which is a Jackpot. It starts at 1 Million points, and it can be advanced up to 12 Million Points.
Playfield
The playfield includes 2 yellow flippers, a plunger, and 2 signature cross ramps, which is common in early 1990s pinball machines designed by Mark Ritchie. Both Ramps can be used to obtain many points, as well as unlock extra balls.
Multi-ball
A player can easily obtain a multi-ball. By doing this, they must unlock the Lock Mode on the cash register ramp, and shoot a target to unlock a second ball.
