Bowling Champ pinball rules and strategy
Strategy summary
The goal
Complete the bowling-pin numbers to advance the strike frames and earn replays. Ten strikes light Extra Special at the lower center hole for five replays.
Complete the pins: Put out numbers 1–10 by collecting the numbered shots. Use the numbered bumpers, the round 1 spot below them, and the lower numbered rollovers. Completing the set advances the strike frames.
Build strikes: Keep completing the numbered set to add strikes. The first strike replay is awarded at seven or eight strikes, depending on the instruction card fitted; each additional strike awards one replay.
Collect Extra Special: Reach ten strikes to light Extra Special at the lower center hole. Send the ball into that hole while Extra Special is lit to collect five replays.
