Jack In The Box / Jumping Jack pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
In Jack In The Box and Jumping Jack, shoot a lit upper saucer for 3,000 and 10x Bonus. Each drop target adds 100 Bonus, and completing the target sequence collects that Bonus and resets the targets. From a lower flipper, shoot the top arc when the opposite saucer is lit; otherwise use the upper flippers to work the drops.
The goal

Hold a raised flipper so a slow ball settles against it, giving you time to plan your next move. on the upper flippers when possible and use short shots to the target bank. Finish the sequence to collect Bonus and reset the targets.
On the plunge, use the top lane opposite the lit saucer so the rail rebound can carry the ball into it.
From a lower flipper opposite a lit saucer, shoot the top arc to collect 3,000 and light 10x Bonus.
When the same-side saucer is lit or no clean arc is available, shoot the drop bank instead.
Use the upper flippers to pick off individual drops and hold them up when a rebound can settle above the flipper.
Finish the target sequence to collect the accumulated Bonus and reset the bank.
