Firecracker pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Hit the center target early to raise the post between the flippers. Build the lit 1,000–10,000 bonus through the top lanes, center targets, top-right target, rollover button, and Firecracker holes, then shoot the Bonus Score hole to collect and reset it. Use either Firecracker hole for its rotating lit award, and take the Extra Ball target, left kickback, or right free-ball gate whenever its lamp is on.
The goal
Raise the center post, build bonus through the lit advance switches, and collect it at the Bonus Score hole before draining. The two Firecracker holes advance the rotating award unit. Watch for randomly lit Extra Ball, kickback, and 3,000-point gate opportunities.
Hit the center target early to raise the post between the flippers.
Build bonus through the top rollover button, left and right top lanes, top-right target, center targets, and either Firecracker hole while Advance Bonus is lit.
Shoot the Bonus Score hole to collect the currently lit 1,000–10,000 bonus before the ball drains; the collect resets bonus to its starting value.
Use either Firecracker hole to spin and advance the feature unit, then take the score or feature lit when it stops.
When the Extra Ball target is lit, hit it before the ten-point stepper moves the lamp away.
Use the lit left-outlane kickback or right free-ball gate as a save; the gate also scores 3,000 while its 3,000 lamp is lit.
Need to know
- Center post
- The center target raises the post between the flippers; down rollovers, a drain, tilt, or a new game lower it.
- Bonus build and collect
- Lit advance switches build 1,000–10,000; the Bonus Score hole collects the lit value and resets it.
- Firecracker holes
- Either hole spins the feature unit, advances it one step, and awards the score or feature lit when it stops.
