Kings pinball rules and strategy
Strategy summary
The goal
Light sets of Kings, Queens and Jacks in the card grid. Completing one, two or all three sets lights the side holes for one, two or five replays.
Light cards: Hit the center bullseye target above the card grid or the bullseye targets along either side. Each spots the lit card selection. The nearby K, Q and J lamps show which rank that target currently adds.
Qualify a Special: Light all four cards of one rank to light the 1 Special. Complete two ranks for the 2 Special, or all twelve cards for the 5 Special. The grid has separate columns for Kings, Queens and Jacks.
Collect the Special: Shoot either side hole beside the upper corners of the card grid while its Special lamp is lit. The corresponding 1, 2 or 5 lamp shows how many replays the hole awards.
