Hot Line

7.8 16 reviews

The add-a-ball version of this game is Williams' 1966 'Big Strike'. In our File Section is a sequence of snapshots showing each letter of H-O-T-L-I-N-E displayed on the playfield's rollover button matrix. Two of the buttons never need to light for this and do not have light bulb sockets wired to them. In a sense, this feature could be called an electromechanical dot matrix display.

Plunging for either the lit pop bumper or one of the A/B lanes is usually the go to on Hot Line.

Two other ways to spot letters are through the lit outlanes and the upper right gate (collect A and B). These are powerful opportunities!
