Score Multiplier

The Score Multiplier is the number followed by an “x” that 
appears above your score. It indicates the number by 
which accumulated Bonus points will be multiplied when 
added to your score. The maximum Score Multiplier is 6.
The multiplier is increased by activating the Ball Splitter or 
simultaneously lighting all four bumpers.

The three center chutes at the top of the table are con-
nected with the four six-sided bumpers located directly 
below them.

 

When your ball passes through one of the 

chutes while the diamond is still on,

 

a 500-point Bonus is 

scored and one of the bumper lights will be activated. If 
the diamond in the chute is not on when your ball passes 
through,

 

then 1500 points are scored and a bumper light 

will not be activated. If you activate the lights in all four 
bumpers without hitting any of them you will increase your  
Score Multiplier.

When all the diamonds are turned off, they will automati-

cally “rest” and one of the Ball saver arrows will be turned 
on for a short time (see below).

Center Chute Diamonds

Six-Sided Bumpers

When your ball hits one of the six

 

-sided bumpers at the top 

of the table, the bumper will flash and 15 points wil be 
scored. If the bumper light is on when it is hit, an additional 
500 points will be scored adn the bumper light will go out.

Spinners

There are four spinners located at the top left corner, at the 
middle of the right side and in both lower corners.

 

When-

ever a ball passes through one of these spinners, 300 
points are scored.

 

The spinners’ bonus arrows are acti-

vated by hitting any set of Drop Targets in order (see 
below).
