Slick Chick pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
In Slick Chick, plunge a top lane and keep shooting toward the upper bumpers. Score the two reachable side standups whenever a moving ball gives you the angle. Avoid the center gobble hole because it ends the ball; work the letter and numbered-rollover sequences only when Special or replay converts to useful points.
The goal

Plunge for either top lane, prioritizing a lane not yet collected when the rollover sequence matters.

Shoot either reachable side standup on the fly when the ball arrives with a clean angle.
Keep both flippers ready after hard-rubber rebounds below their tips; the ball may cross back into play.
Avoid the center gobble hole unless its Special conversion or immediate value is worth ending the ball.
