Black Hole is a pinball game released in 1981 by Gottlieb. It is notable for having two playfields: one on top with a conventional slope, and one mounted underneath sloping away from the player. The lower playfield is viewed through a window in the upper playfield. Black Hole is the first machine with this configuration.
This game was also the first pinball machine to cost 50 cents to play.[citation needed]
