Bally 1994
Strategy updated: June 26th, 2026

Strategy

Shadowloop focus: Shoot left loop and then inner loop (just above the saucer) with the upper right flipper on repeat

Skill Shot

Select skill shot award with the left extra flipper button and collect off the plunge on the left ramp

  • Pick points rather than a mode start

Ruleset

❗️There are extra flipper buttons on the side of the cabinet, default blue in color, that control the diverters on the ramps.

Shadowloop strategy: Shoot left loop and then inner loop (just above the saucer) with the upper right flipper on repeat

  • Every successful 2-way combo increases the loop value by 3M with no upper cap

  • This is far more lucrative than MB jackpots and less dangerous

  • Get ball to right flipper to start the loop combo by hitting the right ramp or MB lock up the middle (The Sanctum)

During MB trap balls on left flipper and use right flipper to concentrate on more loop combos

Vengeance strategy, which is ramps, is dangerous if you miss a ramp shot

Battlefield strategy value isn’t worth much and the Battlefield in the upper left of the PF can be too active to hit many targets
