Strategy

Jackpots during MB and cashing in the Lionman shot are the most lucrative scoring in the game.

Ruleset

All plunges enter the mini-playfield on the left

  • Hit drop targets to light and then knock down the target

  • If you light all 5 targets you score the Magic value (starts at 150K)

  • Anytime a ball drains from the mini PF, the Magic value decreases by 50K

  • Increase the Magic value by shooting the U-turn spinners, 20 spins increases Magic value by 50K (up to maximum of 250K)

Multi-ball

  • Lock balls with any shot to the left tunnel lane, 3rd lock starts MB (and relights kickback)

    • During MB shoot for right ramp to mini PF, then hit flashing drop targets to score jackpot

    • All scores except Lionman and Jackpot are tripled with 3 balls in play, doubled with 2 balls

    • Jackpots are progressive for all players (max value is 4M, resets to 500K when collected)

Avenger

  • There are 7 standup targets around the PF, hit to light, scoring 10K each

  • Completing the word AVENGER scores and advances the Avenger value

  • Inlanes spot 1 Avenger letter and lights the right ramp for a short timed shot to instantly complete the word

  • Completing Avenger also advances bonus X and lights the center shot for timed Lionman collect

Lionman

  • Shooting center ramp when not lit increases Lionman value

  • The center ramp return is based on which red light is lit:

    • Furthest red light: exit to mini playfield

    • Middle red light: puts the ball into ball lock, will count as ball 1 lock if no balls locked

    • Closest red light: feeds the upper flipper and increases bonus X

  • Shoot center lamp when lit (timed shot) to collect Lionman value and reset Lionman to 100K

Ogre’s Alley

  • Mini loop in upper part of PF, usually shot with the upper left flipper

  • One entrance to the loop is always lit white to increase value

    • Value starts at 20K and advances: 30K, 40K, 50K, 100K, 500K

    • ❗️500K Ogre’s Alley value can only be collected once, then max is 100K

  • The other entrance will be lit green to collect value, collecting resets value to 20K

  • Outlanes are also light white or green as above

Max bonus X is 7X
