Night Rider

Bally 1976 EM SS
Strategy updated: August 16, 2026

Strategy

When the saucer is lit for double bonus that should be the only thing that matters. Go up top via either spinner lane for a nudge into the saucer.

Skill Shot

Plunge directly to the saucer, sling hits will cycle the saucer award

Key Rules

Any 10 or 100 point switch will rotate the saucer award in a cycle:

  • Awards: 1K and double bonus, 50, 3K, 50, 5K

  • When landing in the saucer, whatever value is lit on the playfield above it is awarded

  • The goal is to collect a double bonus and then any and all 3K and 5K values

Drop targets (draingerous) only score 50 points, best to ignore them and concentrate on the saucer

Max bonus is 15K, there is no mid-ball collect and nothing carries over ball-to-ball

Bonus is advanced by saucer, drop targets, center standup target (when lit), inlanes (when lit)
