Cactus Jack's pinball rules and strategy

Shoot the center hole to start two-ball Multiball. Hit flashing target pairs to advance fruit, then shoot loops or the center to throw the lit fruit. Consecutive ramp shots light Million and Jack's Pot.

The goal

Start the easy center-hole Multiball, build fruit on controlled returns, and use consecutive ramps for Million and Jack's Pot while the extra ball protects misses.

  1. Shoot the center hole to start two-ball Multiball.

  2. During controlled single-ball or Multiball play, hit the flashing target pair to advance the current fruit.

  3. Shoot either loop or the center fruit throw to cash the lit fruit; later fruit awards are larger.

  4. Make consecutive ramp shots to light Million and then Jack's Pot; keep repeating the ramp for the lit award.
