Duette pinball rules and strategy
Strategy summary
The goal
Pass through the top lanes or hit the Advance targets to increase Bonus. The center hole collects Bonus, with ten times the value when its multiplier is lit.
Advance Bonus through the top lanes: Send the ball through one of the three lanes across the top. The center lane advances Bonus by five and scores five points. Either adjacent lane advances Bonus by three and scores three points.
Advance Bonus with targets: Hit either target beside the center Bonus hole, marked Advance 3 Bonus & Points, to advance Bonus by three and score three points. Roll over the red button below the Bonus-value lamps to advance Bonus by one and score one point.
Collect Bonus: Shoot the center hole between the two Advance targets. Read the Bonus-value lamps directly below the hole. When the hole’s 10 Times Value lamp is lit, the hole awards ten times that Bonus value.
Score in the side lanes: Pass through either long upper side lane outside the three center pop bumpers for 20 points. The shorter lanes below them, outside the Advance targets, score 10 points.
