Strategy

Max the Royal Flush multiplier by completing the King lanes 3 times, complete the center diamond drop target sequence in order from right-to-left (Ten-to-Ace).

Repeat!

Key Rules

Royal Flush

  • There is a 5-drop target bank in the center of the playfield, completing this in order (right-to-left, Ten-to-Ace) scores the current value of Royal Flush (starts at 100K)

  • Hitting a target out-of-order will decrease the value by 20K and reset that target

  • Hitting the next-in-order target will increase the value by 20K and the target will stay down

  • When hitting the Ace in sequence the value of the Royal Flush is awarded multiplied by the lit red multiplier insert (to the lower right of the 5-bank)

  • Advance the royal flush multiplier by completing the top 4 King lanes (+1X - max 4X)

  • The left inlane spots a King lane (shatzing opportunity)

Bonus

  • There are 4 blue Joker targets (3 on left, 1 on right) around the playfield

  • One of these will be lit for +1 Bonus X (max: 5X)

  • A flashing joker (after bonus X is maxed) is worth 10K points

  • Advance bonus by making King lanes (1K) or Ace saucers (3K) (Max base: 78K)
