Hi-Score Pool pinball rules and strategy

Strategy summary

The goal

Extinguish all fifteen pool-ball lights to finish a rack. Each completed rack awards the bonus shown on the backglass and lets you continue without losing that ball.

  1. Launch the ball: Press the right flipper button to fire the ball from the rotating shooter. The physical machine uses this button instead of a plunger.

  2. Clear the lights: Hit a lit pool ball to extinguish its light and score 100 points. Keep working through the numbered balls that remain lit.

  3. Finish a rack: Extinguish all fifteen pool-ball lights to complete one rack. You receive the rack bonus listed on the backglass and continue playing without losing the current ball.

Need to know
Racks
A rack is the set of fifteen numbered pool balls. Completing a rack continues the current ball; it is separate from any added-ball awards printed on the machine’s instruction card.
