Basketball pinball rules and strategy
Strategy summary
The goal
Complete the numbered bumpers twice: the first set raises their scoring value, and the second lights replay collectors. Collect Special at either side hole or the bottom center rollover.
Complete the first set: Hit all numbered bumpers 1–10, in any order, to light the basketballs. This first completion makes the numbered bumpers score three times their starting value.
Light Special: After the basketballs are lit, hit all numbered bumpers 1–10 again. This second completion lights the two side kickout holes and the bottom center rollover for Special.
Collect a replay: Send the ball into either side hole, or through the bottom center rollover, while its Special light is on to score one replay. The kickout holes return the ball to play.
