No, it's not a duff DMD!
One of my favourite things about pinball are the hidden features in a lot of the games know as cows and Easter eggs. If you go to ipdb.org there is often a link to the website below and can be great fun to play around with. I can't resist getting the dog to pee on the dead sniper in JD and I was aware of the secret poker with Riker mode on my STTNG (hold trigger and press right flipper button when selecting 25 mil or video mode). I also never miss out on the 10 mil bonus award of both flipper buttons when Data says: "If you had propelled the ball on the proper trajectory you would have been rewarded!"
I thought I knew them all on STTNG but I wasn't aware of the hidden brick game ala pong or the Steve Ritchie game animation homage (During Attract mode, press the following flipper sequence: Both flippers, 8L, 1R, 5L, 1R, 5L, 1R, 6L, 2R)
I found these and many other hidden treasures at:

The apparently top secret brick / breakout game only surfaced a few years back so I wonder how many actually know about it. It took a few attempts to get it right as the website wasn't clear.
1 start a game
2 Press the following sequence: Both flippers, 1R, 2L, 1R, 4L, 1R, 8L, 2R.
3 begin paying the game normally
4 get the holodeck mode (right ramp x 3 then right orbit)
5 when prompted for holodeck choice 25mil / video mode, hold gun trigger and press right flipper button
6 instead of Rikers poker, breakout starts. You get 5 shots in a breakout (pong style) game
Does anyone else have any top choice cows or Easter eggs that are worth a mention? Do any of the newer games have these?

Also love the 'camera craze' mode on there when you find the camera, then every shot you make shows a polaroid of Bigfoot is silly poses
