Casino Royale pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Casino Royale uses upper standups to advance a roulette-style spinner, a lower-left standup to stop it, and the center saucer to collect it. Advance to Special, stop the spinner, collect at center, then repeat the safer lit orbit for 50,000 while upper play raises a doubled bonus.
The goal
Advance the roulette-style spinner to Special, stop it, and collect it at the center saucer, which lights both orbits and outlanes for 50,000, then favor the safer left orbit while upper play builds a 100,000 double bonus.
Plunge for the small top advance-bonus rollover.
Use upper-playfield action to find whichever inner standup is lit and advance the spinner.
Continue controlled upper feeds until the spinner reaches Special.
Hit the lower-left standup to stop the spinner on Special.
From the right flipper, shoot the center saucer only after the ball is settled.
Confirm that the Special collect lights the orbit and outlane awards for 50,000.
Repeat whichever lit orbit has the safer tested return; favor the left orbit when both are equally controlled.
Let top-lane and bumper action finish the 100,000 double bonus instead of forcing extra center shots.
Alternative route: Upper-playfield bonus plan
Use this plan when the spinner-advance targets or center saucer are rejecting clean shots.
- Shoot the safer orbit or right-side lane back toward the top.
- Collect the small top rollover and outer standups to advance bonus.
- Complete all three top lanes to light every bumper and double bonus.
- Keep feeding the top until the spinner or saucer becomes a controlled shot.
Need to know
- Spinner advance
- Either inner upper standup advances the spinner when that target is lit.
- Stop and collect
- The lower-left standup stops the spinner, and the center saucer collects the displayed value.
- Special collect
- Collecting the spinner on Special lights both orbits and both outlanes for 50,000.

Use upper action to reach Special, stop it at the lower-left standup, and collect from a settled right flipper. Afterward, repeat the safer lit orbit and let top lanes and bumpers finish the bonus.
