Pokerino pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Pokerino carries Bonus X between balls and raises it through the upper-left horseshoe. Repeat that horseshoe until Bonus X reaches 5x, then use the safer Jack and Queen banks to add to base bonus and score their larger repeat-completion awards.
The goal
Repeat the upper-left horseshoe until bonus reaches 5x, then use the safer Jack and Queen banks to build a large multiplied bonus.
Test the staged flippers with short presses before the first fast return.
Move the ball to the right flipper when the transfer is controlled.
Shoot the upper-left horseshoe to advance the held bonus multiplier.
Repeat the horseshoe until the multiplier reaches 5x.
From the left flipper, shoot the upper-right Queen bank when its return is controlled.
Use either lower Jack pair when the Queen shot is unavailable.
Repeat the completed Jack and Queen banks for their increased 20,000 awards.
When the left spinner lights through normal progress, shoot it only from a controlled angle.
Preserve the 5x multiplier and card progress across later balls.
Alternative route: Wide Jack-bank route
Use this plan when the upper-left horseshoe or Queen-bank return is unreliable.
- Stop forcing the failed upper shot.
- Choose the lower Jack pair on the same side as the controlled flipper.
- Shoot the wide target area instead of the center triangle.
- Complete Jacks to add bonus and card progress.
- Repeat the bank after its completion value rises to 20,000.
Need to know
- Held multiplier
- Each upper-left horseshoe advances the bonus multiplier toward 5x, and the multiplier holds between balls.
- Maximum bonus
- Card and target progress builds base bonus to 29,000, which is worth 145,000 at 5x.
- Card ranks
- Aces use the top star rollovers, Kings use the upper-left captive balls, Queens use the upper-right bank, Jacks use the two lower side pairs, and Tens use the alternating center rollover.
Pokerino carries Bonus X between balls while base bonus resets. Use controlled right-flipper shots through the upper-left horseshoe to reach 5x, then repeat the upper-right Queen bank or lower Jack pairs for bonus and 20,000 repeat awards. Protect the multiplied bonus rather than forcing the captive-ball Kings.
