Eight Ball Deluxe

Bally 1981
Strategy updated: June 24th, 2026

Ruleset

Bonus carries over from ball to ball so prioritize getting the drop targets (pool balls) on the right

Tend not to go for multiplier shot early in the game because it isn't worth much yet

  • If EB is on shoot spinner lane from right flipper

  • Best strategy may be to post transfer from right to left and concentrate on drop targets

Make A B C D and you are awarded a drop target (potentially 2 based on settings)

⭐️ Whenever 8 ball is lit, abandon everything else and shoot for the 8 ball

Saucer behind 8 ball collects bonus

Spinner lane/orbit will increase value up to 70K, when this happens this is the most valuable shot in the game and makes sense to prioritize

Maximizing bonus on ball 1 sets up shooting for multipliers strategy on future balls.
