Grand Slam pinball rules and strategy

Hit the five H-O-M-E-R flyaway targets left to right while they flash for a Grand Slam Homer and four runs; any other completion still scores a Home Run. Use right-flipper lane change to light all three top lanes, and complete S-T-E-A-L once for 2x Bonus, then again for 3x.

The goal

Prioritize the left-to-right H-O-M-E-R sequence because it converts the same five targets into four runs instead of one. Use lane change for missing top lanes and finish S-T-E-A-L early enough that 2x or 3x applies to the runs built afterward.

  1. Hit the H-O-M-E-R flyaway targets from left to right while their lights continue flashing.

  2. Complete the sequence for a Grand Slam Homer, filling the bases and scoring four runs; an out-of-order completion scores one Home Run instead.

  3. Use the right flipper button to rotate the top GRAND SLAM HOMER lanes toward missing letters; all three lanes award another Grand Slam Homer.

  4. Complete S-T-E-A-L once for 2x Bonus and a second time for 3x before building more runs.
