KISS

Bally 1979 SS
Strategy updated: August 29, 2026

Strategy

Spell KISS from the top lanes, ignore the white drop and red standup targets to collect letters. Get up top via either spinner, ideally choosing a lit spinner. When 40K super bonus is lit, consider shooting the A B C D standup targets on the right to double bonus. Otherwise continue to shoot for the top lanes and more KISS letters.

Skill Shot

Plunge to the center top lane

  • When lit yellow, it opens the right outlane gate to save the ball

  • When lit white, it spots all KISS letters

  • Both can be lit at the same time

Key Rules

KISS Letters

  • The center top lanes spots all KISS letters when lit yellow, the other top lanes collect 1 letter each

  • Collecting letters in KISS score 1K bonus, and builds up the grid of playfield inserts

  • Completing KISS awards 3K in bonus

  • Collecting KISS letters that add to the red insert row each add an additional 3K to bonus

  • Completing the grid, collecting all KISS letters 4 times, lights the super bonus for 40K and resets the grid

  • Complete the grid twice upgrades the bonus to 80K colossal bonus, a 3rd time the bonus grows to 120K

  • The left bank of drop targets and the red standup targets will also collect KISS letters, yet are draingerous

Other Features

  • Rolling though the center lane lights one of the spinners for 1K/spin

  • Complete A B C D standup targets for 2X Bonus, complete again for extra ball (25K), and a 3rd time for a special (50K)
