King Pin pinball rules and strategy
Strategy summary
The goal
Hit the numbered bumpers to knock down the matching animated pins. Strike and Spare pockets offer separate point awards.
Knock down pins: Hit the numbered bumpers across the upper playfield. Each bumper corresponds to a bowling pin; hitting it retracts that matching animated pin in the backbox.
Score pocket awards: Shoot into a kickout pocket marked Strike, with an X and 30, for 30 points, or one marked Spare and 20 for 20 points. These labeled pockets sit above and below the numbered bumper group.
