'The game may have been in its prime for their parents' generation but digital
natives have taken over pinball.

Four of the top five players in the world are under 21 — a title Queenslander
Emily Cosson hopes to one day achieve.

As the top female player in Australia, Ms Cosson returned from competing in the
United States in January, where she came third in the open B division.

She estimates about 25 per cent of the competitors in Los Angeles were players
under 21.

"The young players just keep coming back because they keep winning," Ms Cosson
says with a laugh.'

Share and enjoy,
