Round Up pinball rules and strategy

Strategy summary

The goal

Hit the numbered bumpers in order to build Extra Score, then continue through 8–11 to raise the Special hole award. The four lower letter rollovers also qualify Extra Special at the bottom center rollover.

  1. Build Extra Score: Hit bumpers 1 through 7 in order to increase Extra Score. Send the ball into either upper Extra Score hole to collect the value shown on the center ladder, which runs from 10,000 to 200,000 points.

  2. Advance the Special hole: After completing 1–7, collect numbers 8, 9, 10 and 11 in order at the upper numbered posts or matching lower rollovers. These numbers increase the award at the center Special hole.

  3. Collect the hole award: Send the ball into the center Special hole while lit to collect its indicated award. When that hole is not lit for Special, it scores Extra Score.

  4. Collect Extra Special: Pass through the four lower A, B, C and D rollovers to light Extra Special. Then pass through the bottom center rollover while Extra Special is lit to collect five replays.
