Magic Castle pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Complete the M-A-G-I-C and C-A-S-T-L-E drop banks, then shoot the drawbridge through a lit castle window. Use the orange three-bank for Orange Special. Hit A-B-C for Bonus X, and use the Mystery Tunnel or right fixed target to advance their lit awards.

The goal

Finish the nearer letter bank, then take the drawbridge as soon as a castle window is lit. If the bridge route is not ready, work the orange bank for Orange Special or A-B-C for Bonus X.

  1. Complete the M-A-G-I-C and C-A-S-T-L-E drop-target banks to advance the drawbridge lamps.

  2. Shoot the drawbridge through a lit Dr. Zekyll, Zankenstein, or Zaccula window; take Zaccula when lit for its Special award.

  3. Complete the orange three-bank to advance Orange Special, then collect its lit award.

  4. Complete A-B-C to advance Bonus X; use the Mystery Tunnel and right fixed target when their next awards are lit.
