Once you have the ball, throw it into the brightly colored machine. You’ll need to repeat this process several times until you hit the center slot.

If you miss and hit one of the other spots, you’ll receive a reward, which will be dispensed at the bottom of the stairs. After you finally win the jackpot, you’ll get access to a red chest with random loot, and the side mission will end.
