Petaco pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
In Petaco, each drop target scores 5,000 and advances Bonus. Finish either bank to reset it and advance the Combination. The first completion lights upper-lane Extra Ball and Double Bonus plus 50,000 at the captive balls. The second moves Extra Ball and Double Bonus to the captive balls. The third lights Special in the lower lane.
The goal
Work the safer drop bank because each completion advances the same three-step award ladder. Collect the upper-lane awards after the first completion, the captive-ball awards after the second, and the lower-lane Special after the third. Every drop also builds the end-of-ball Bonus.
Knock down targets in either side bank for 5,000 and one Bonus advance per target.
Finish the bank to reset it and advance the Combination.
After the first completion, take the lit upper lanes for Extra Ball and Double Bonus; the captive balls are also worth 50,000.
Finish a bank again, then hit the captive balls for the lit Extra Ball and Double Bonus awards.
Finish a bank a third time, then take the lit lower lane for Special.
