Definition

In pinball, 'stack' refers to either: (1) overlapping or layering multiple game modes simultaneously for scoring advantages, or (2) a rotating mechanical component on the scoring motor used in older pinball machines (Gottlieb era). Context determines usage—modern players use it for mode stacking strategy, while technicians reference the physical mechanism.
