Monte Carlo / Odds & Evens pinball rules and strategy

In Monte Carlo or Odds & Evens, shoot the left orbit to collect the 1-10 rollovers. Finish all five odd or all five even numbers for a 5,000 Bonus add-on. If the upper-right gate opens, shoot through it for 4,000; otherwise keep going up top.

The goal

Prioritize a complete odd or even set instead of spreading progress across both. The center saucer raises the center post and spots the lit odd number; the upper-left saucer spots the lit even number. Left mushroom bumpers open the two right-side gates.

  1. Shoot the left orbit to return the ball to the numbered top rollovers.

  2. toward the missing numbers in whichever odd or even set is closest to completion.

  3. Use the center saucer for the lit odd number and a raised center post, or the upper-left saucer for the lit even number.

  4. When the upper-right gate is open, shoot its chute for 4,000; otherwise keep using the left orbit.

  5. With the center post raised, let the ball settle against it and use micro-flips to regain control.
