Lady Luck pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Build the hand toward 20 or 21. Use the top rollovers for 10-point jumps, then use the center bumper or standup as safer 1-point finishers. Take an eject hole or lit outlane only when its lit card cannot bust the hand. At 21, stop adding cards and accept the drain resolution only when the configured 300-point and Shoot Again or replay award is worth it.
The goal
Use 10-point lanes early and 1-point center switches late. Avoid lit card-value holes and outlanes when they can push the hand over 21, and never bust intentionally just to open the right gate.
Read the player and dealer card scores before choosing another scoring switch.
Use the top rollovers for 10-point progress while the hand is low enough that another 10 cannot bust.
Near 21, favor the center bumper or standup for single-point progress.
Before entering an eject hole or lit outlane, confirm that its displayed card value keeps the hand at 21 or below.
At 21, stop adding cards and take the drain resolution only when the configured award makes that exchange worthwhile.
If the hand has already busted, use the opened right gate only as an opportunistic shooter-lane recovery; do not aim to bust for it.
