Black Velvet / Foxy Lady pinball rules and strategy
Strategy summary
The goal
The A, B and C holes spin the central award wheel. Lighting all three letters on one ball lights the Special lane. Other lanes build bonus, while lit spinners score more per spin.
Wheel spins: Put the ball into an A, B or C hole to score 500 and spin the central wheel. When it stops, the indicated feature is awarded and the ball is kicked back into play.
A, B and C: Light all three letters during the same ball to light the Special lane. Repeating one letter does not complete the set; follow the separate A, B and C lights.
Special: After lighting A, B and C on one ball, roll through the lit Special lane to collect the configured replay or extra ball. The lane also advances bonus by 1,000.
Top lanes and spinners: All five top rollovers score 1,000. The three inner rollovers also advance bonus by 1,000 and change the spinner lights. A spinner scores 100 per spin, or 1,000 when lit.
Bonus lanes: Roll through a lane marked 1,000 and Advance Bonus to score 1,000 immediately and add another 1,000 to the bonus. Accumulated bonus is collected after the ball drains.
Extra Ball: The wheel can light Extra. Roll through the lit Extra lane to earn another ball and advance bonus by 1,000. The extra ball is played immediately after the ball that earned it.
