Mata Hari

Bally 1978 EM SS
Strategy updated: August 16, 2026

Strategy

Shoot top saucer 4 times for max Bonus 5X, then shoot orbits

Skill Shot

Best to plunge and nudge to the saucer

Key Rules

Shoot saucer at the top to advance Bonus X to 5X (4 shots - 3 bonus advances, 2X, 3X, 5X)

  • 2nd saucer shot also lights the left outlane for 50K

  • 3rd saucer shot also lights both outlanes for 50K

If extra balls and specials award points, then shoot the left and right orbits to complete A & B

  • Collect both A & B via orbits or top lanes advances the value of those lanes (1K, 2K, 3K, 4K, 5K, EB=25K, Special=50K)

  • Lit lanes indicate that that lane is not yet collected

Otherwise, and more risky, shoot drop targets, a set of 8 completed drop targets awards 50K

Base bonus max is 29K
