Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory pinball machine has 76 recorded tournament games in Minneapolis, MN, Blaine, MN. A game runs about 20m, the median of 76 timed games, so budget for that in a round with a clock on it. The better-ranked player loses here 42.4% of the time, which puts it at 29/100 for difficulty. That is a low-variance machine: scores hold up and the stronger player usually wins, so it rewards the favorite.
