Diner pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Complete the six drop targets once for each customer, using the E-A-T lanes to light both ramps for an instant bank completion. For two-ball Multiball, shoot the right Cup ramp, lock a ball under the raised left ramp, then shoot the upper-left saucer. After serving all five customers, shoot that saucer again to start Dine-Time.

The goal

Serve five customers by completing the six drop targets. E-A-T lights both ramps to spot a full bank. For two-ball Multiball, shoot the Cup ramp, lock beneath the raised left ramp, then shoot the upper-left saucer. After customer five, shoot the saucer for Dine-Time.

  1. Complete the E-A-T lanes to light both serve-food ramps.

  2. Shoot either lit ramp to spot all six drop targets and serve the current customer, or complete the six targets directly.

  3. Shoot the right Cup ramp to raise the left ramp and open its lock for a short time.

  4. Shoot beneath the raised left ramp to lock a ball, then shoot the upper-left saucer to release it and start two-ball Multiball.

  5. During Multiball, shoot the upper-left saucer and then the Today's Special sinkhole to light both ramps for 500,000 through the rest of that Multiball.
