Black Pyramid pinball rules and strategy

Clear the three inline drops on the right orbit to reach 5x Bonus. Then repeat the safer orbit: both sides build BLACK PYRAMID, the first completion banks 60,000 Super Bonus, and the second banks 120,000. The left orbit also grows toward Extra Ball when enabled.

The goal

Clear the right-orbit inline drops to reach 5x Bonus, then repeat the safer orbit to complete BLACK PYRAMID and bank its held 60,000 and 120,000 Super Bonuses. Use the swinging target only when a large 200,000 collect is one controlled hit away.

  1. Shoot the right orbit through its inline drops to advance Bonus X from 2x to 3x to 5x.

  2. After 5x is ready, repeat whichever orbit gives the safer feed; both sides advance BLACK PYRAMID letters.

  3. Complete BLACK PYRAMID once to bank 60,000 Super Bonus and again to bank 120,000; the banked value is held.

  4. Keep using the left orbit as its award rises from 20,000 toward Extra Ball, then resets after the award is scored.
