Bad Cats pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Complete the five Bird drops and three Milk Bottle drops; each bank completion advances B-A-D C-A-T-S. After all seven letters are lit, shoot the center Fishbowl ramp for the Jackpot. For the Doghouse wheel, spell S-E-A-F-O-O-D and shoot the lit Doghouse before its timer ends; Bad Cats has no Multiball.

The goal

Complete both drop banks repeatedly to spell B-A-D C-A-T-S, then shoot the center Fishbowl ramp for the progressive Jackpot. Spell S-E-A-F-O-O-D and shoot the lit Doghouse for its wheel. There is no Multiball.

  1. Complete the five Bird drop targets or the three Milk Bottle drop targets to light the next B-A-D C-A-T-S letter.

  2. Repeat either bank until all seven letters are lit.

  3. Shoot the center Fishbowl ramp to collect the progressive Jackpot.

  4. Start the cycle again; the Jackpot must be relit from the first letter after each collect.
