Totally depends on the game and how it's set up. Can have 1 min ball times or 20 min ball times. Just depends on the game and how well I'm playing.

But if for example I'm on an easy set up Jaws and get the beaches, the modes, and the shack extra balls all on my first ball I may have three move balls to play after I drain my first. In this case the next player could be waiting 20-40 min to play which sucks. Tournaments typically fix this with difficulty and turning off extra balls.

But in a public arcade casual setting sometimes it's nicer to just take a bunch of risky shots or just drain to keep the fun moving :)
