Cabaret pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
In Cabaret, repeatedly shoot the center eject hole for 300 points and one Super Bonus advance. Use switches marked CHANGE to rotate the Score Selector. When red is selected, the rollovers and jet bumpers score their higher values and the left-center rollover lights for Extra Ball; collect it before another CHANGE switch moves the selector.
The goal
Build Super Bonus through the center eject, then use the red Score Selector window for the lit left-center Extra Ball lane and improved switch values. Do not count on the disappearing center post: its position follows the match unit rather than a player-controlled qualification.
Shoot the center eject hole whenever its return is manageable; each entry scores 300 and advances Super Bonus.
Use a CHANGE lane or switch to move the Score Selector toward red.
When red is selected, take the higher-value rollovers and jet bumpers without forcing a dangerous rebound.
Shoot the lit left-center rollover for Extra Ball before another CHANGE switch rotates the selector.
Return to the center eject until Super Bonus reaches the threshold printed on the installed score card.
