Quickie Version:
UTAD – spinner on the left, saucer on the right.
Go-to Flipper:
Balanced
Risk Index:
High
Full Rules:
Like the quickie version says, UTAD. You want to build your bonus to 100K and double it or triple it. The tiny red rollover buttons advance bonus, but just let them happen. The upper right saucer has alternating values; lites top center hole is best, since if you then score that hole your bonus is tripled. Double bonus is next best, then the 50,000. Extra ball beats them all if allowed, but in tournaments will likely be turned off. Lites spinner is useful, too, but the spinners on these aren’t usually too juicy. Yes, there are 5 drop targets on the game, but ignore them completely. You’ll get the upper four eventually from balls coming down around the hole. Completing them is only worth 10K, not worth the risk of shooting the bottom left one.
