Little Chief pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

In Little Chief, shoot up top until A and B are complete. That opens the center-right gate and lights the top center lane. Take the lit center lane or the center saucer to light Double Bonus, then shoot through the open gate to collect Bonus. Rebuild and repeat.

The goal

Build Bonus with top lanes, rollovers, and standups. Complete A and B, light Double Bonus at the top center lane or center saucer, then collect through the open center-right gate once the base Bonus is at least 7,000.

  1. Plunge for A, then keep shooting up top until both A and B are complete.

  2. Use the lit top center lane when available; otherwise shoot the center saucer to light Double Bonus.

  3. Keep sending the ball up top until base Bonus reaches at least 7,000.

  4. From the left flipper, shoot through the open center-right gate to collect the doubled Bonus.

  5. Repeat the A-B, Double Bonus, and collect cycle while using dead bounces or lane transfers to reach the needed flipper.
