Guys Dolls pinball rules and strategy

Strategy summary

The goal

Complete sets of numbered bumpers to spell DOLLS and light replay lanes. Collect A–E at the lower rollovers to light the holes for Special. Cabinet buttons operate moving posts instead of flippers.

  1. Use the moving posts: Press the cabinet buttons to operate the six arrow-marked posts near the bottom rollovers. Their movement can kick the ball; this game has no flippers.

  2. Build DOLLS: Hit all numbered bumpers 1–9 to add a letter to DOLLS. Each completed set also increases the value of the bonus holes and point lanes.

  3. Complete DOLLS: Light the whole word to receive one replay immediately and light two bottom rollovers for Special. Pass through either while lit for one replay. Each further completion of 1–9 also awards one replay.

  4. Light the holes: Collect A, B, C, D and E at the lower rollovers to light the holes for Special. Send the ball into a hole while its Special light is on to collect one replay.

The numbered bumper sets build both letter progress and scoring values. The marked point lanes are separate from the two Special rollovers at the bottom.
