It depends on the size of the pinball machine :P

Originally, pinball machines didn't have flippers (the things at the bottom of the machine that hit the ball). Instead, you would launch a ball into a playfield full of pins and hope for it to land in a hole (like plinko). These pins made the game called "Pinball".The earliest pinball machines were a wooden playfeild with multiple holes and pins in the board. A ball was dropped at one end and it would bounce on the pins and hopefully fall in the higher scoring holes. This was before electronics, bumpers and flippers.
That depends on the game, most of the older games have 1 ball. The newer games, on average, have 4-6. The most ever in a pinball machine is in Apollo 13, which has a 13 ball multiball.
