Strategy updated: June 22nd, 2026

Skill Shot

On plunge, if saucer lit, shoot left rubber to bank into saucer lane, otherwise shoot for a card suit lane (heart being the hardest to get)

Ruleset

Saucer shot is critical - saucer rim outs are common, stick with it

Ball control is crucial, and using shatz or tap pass is key on this game.

During play shoot saucer if lit, otherwise shoot left spinner to get up top - flipper skills needed here to get on correct flipper

  • Don’t worry about adding to bonus, its either saucer shot (if lit) or spinner shot on repeat

Collect all four top lanes to light spinner and light out lanes for 50K

Player blackjack hand advances card total from 17 - 21 by one point at red stand up targets, wrapping back to 17.

Dealer blackjack hand advances by from 17-21 by one point at yellow stand up targets.

When the player hand is higher than the dealer hand the saucer will be lit - prioritizing hitting this

  • First three add to PF multiplier, then 50K for special or EB award after that

Bonus maxes at 29K, so at 5K bonus X is 145K
