Judge Dredd pinball machine has 73 recorded tournament games in Minneapolis, MN. A game runs about 18m, the median of 73 timed games, so budget for that in a round with a clock on it. The better-ranked player loses here 51.4% of the time, which puts it at 33/100 for difficulty. That is a low-variance machine: scores hold up and the stronger player usually wins, so it rewards the favorite.
