Full Rules:
Base bonus is advanced by all top lanes, return lanes, outlanes and stand-up targets and goes up to 19K. Drop targets are worth 1000 plus 1000 for each of the four colors you’ve collected; it’s similar to Jacks to Open in that regard. Completing the red or yellow lanes gives you both colors. There are two places to collect each color: one top lane for each; the upper left side lanes for red and white; the upper right stand-up target for green; and the center right side lane is your second yellow. To double your bonus, complete all 8 drop targets. Complete them a second time to raise your multiplier to 3X. On ball 3, you start at 2X. Strategy is simple - - get the lanes first to maximize target value, then smack the targets all day to double and triple your bonus. Once at 3X and 19K, just keep smacking the drop targets. If extra balls are on, completing all four colors lights the left outlane to score the extra ball.
