Thats exactly how its played. This game is a derivative of an earlier French game called Nine Holes which was played out doors.

I just finished writing another article for Gameroom magazine which explains the History of pachinko and pinball which should be published in upcoming months.

please post a link when your article is published. I look forward to reading it.

I did get a copy of the pinball history video on VHS. I will digitize it before the tapes go bad. wonder if they mention pachinko in the video.
