Butterfly pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Build bonus with the upper saucer and safe shots back to the top. Complete the angled three-bank to light Double Bonus at the side return lanes, then roll through one of those lit lanes.
The goal
Use the right flipper for repeatable up-top shots, max the base before risking the center bank, then collect Double Bonus through a lit side return lane.
Use the right flipper to send the ball up the left arc or into the upper saucer and build base bonus toward 100,000.
After the base is valuable, complete the angled center three-bank to light Double Bonus.
Return the ball to the top so it can feed the lit right or outer-left return lane and activate Double Bonus.
Continue up top; avoid direct standup shots whose rebounds threaten the drain.
