And to mythbust here: The common legend and shallow wikipedia blurb goes that Sharpe called out one shot in the courtroom and made it ("the shot that saved pinball"), which astonished the jury into ruling that pinballs are games of skill.
The reality was that he did make the one shot (and later confessed that that one shot was half luck), but besides that also played for tens of minutes (and some accounts say on two different games), demonstrating all the things a skilled player can do, to such an extent that the outcome was beyond doubt.
