Like Bryans other three ball games (3 Ball Seven Win, 3 Ball Nine Cup), the Forks has a self-metering jackpot (maximum fill set by the operator) which is won by getting all three balls into the forks. The 'forks' from which the game derives its name can be controlled by the knob on the left, in an attempt to catch the balls, so this game is part allwin, part ball catching game. In practice, there is very little chance of following the balls, so players sometimes opt to set the position of the forks before firing the balls.
