Spanish Eyes pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Spanish Eyes uses the six numbered upper lanes to raise the center saucer's value. The center horseshoe pays a fixed 5,000, so the useful choice is between a growing saucer and a fixed horseshoe with different returns.
The goal
Collect numbers up top, then compare the center saucer with the center horseshoe and repeat whichever return is safer on that machine.
Collect numbers 1 through 6
Send the ball up top. Each collected number adds 1,000 to the center-saucer value.
Choose the safe center shot
Shoot the center saucer for the built value, or the center horseshoe for 5,000. Repeat the shot whose return off the lower bumper survives.
Need to know
- Extra balls
- When enabled, completing A-E adds a ball immediately; completing 1-6 and then shooting the horseshoe also adds a ball.
Each numbered upper lane in Spanish Eyes adds 1,000 to the center-saucer value, while the center horseshoe always scores 5,000. Collect numbers up top, then compare the saucer kickout with the horseshoe exit off the lower bumper. Repeat the safer scoring shot, or return upstairs when neither feed is controlled.
The goal
Send the ball up top to collect the numbered lanes, then choose between the 5,000-point center horseshoe and the center saucer, which scores for each collected number.Keep the route whose return survives the lower center bumper.
- Send the ball up top to collect numbers 1 through 6.
- Shoot the center saucer after several numbers are lit; it scores 1,000 for each collected number.
- Shoot the center horseshoe for 5,000 when its exit off the lower center bumper is safer than the saucer kickout.
- Repeat the safer of those two shots. If neither return is controlled, return to the upper lanes.
