Hi-Lo Ace pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Hi-Lo Ace places cards across the upper lanes, side lanes, return lanes, outlanes, and targets. Each unlit card is worth ten times a repeat, and completing 8 through Ace changes the unlit middle gate into the final collect.
The goal
Collect each card once for 5,000. After completing 8 through Ace, send the ball through the middle gate that is not lit for Special.
Collect missing cards
Send the ball up top and use the lanes and targets to collect each unlit card. Repeats fall from 5,000 to 500.
Use the middle gate
After completing 8 through Ace, send the ball through the middle gate that is not lit for Special; it scores 5,000.

- Collect each card once for 5,000, then avoid repeats worth only 500.
Hi-Lo Ace rewards collecting each card once, then sharply reduces the value of repeats. Send the ball up top and use the lanes and targets to finish 8 through Ace. After the set is complete, shoot the unlit middle gate for 5,000 and use the center standups only while they also score 5,000.
