Big Ben

Williams • 1975 • EM
Strategy updated: September 11, 2026

Strategy

Shoot the top lanes until bonus is maxed at 10K, then hit the 3 drop targets to double bonus. Now complete the BIG top lanes to light the left side rollovers for 1K and the right side saucer for 5K. If special is worth points, complete BIG lanes again and collect 10K at the saucer, otherwise avoid the top lanes and shoot saucer and left side rollovers.

Skill Shot

Plunge to a needed lane, each awards a bonus advance.

Key Rules

Bonus

  • First goal of the game is to get the base bonus to the maximum 10K, best to do so by shooting up top to make the lanes - drops, out lanes, and very top rollover button also advance bonus

  • Once bonus is maxed, knocking down all 3 drop targets doubles bonus and makes the drop worth 1K per hit

BIG lanes

  • After bonus is maxed, completing the BIG lanes qualifies the left side rollovers for 1K each and the right saucer for 5K

    • Saucer worth 5K is highest value shot in the game, if you can control the kickout, spam this

  • Completing BIG again lights the right saucer for a special (10K or nothing based on settings),

    • if special is worth nothing, don’t complete these lanes twice because it takes away the saucer value
