Each center-horseshoe shot in Ro Go scores 5,000 and advances bonus five times. The 6,000- and 8,000-point right-side gates return the ball to the plunger. Plunge the center lane to open both gates, repeat the horseshoe, then use an open gate when naturally presented.

Ro Go repeats a center-lane, horseshoe, and right-gate cycle.
