The Sopranos pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

The Sopranos lets an active Episode continue into Stugots or Bing Multiball, but an Episode cannot be started after Multiball begins. Spell THE SOPRANOS with the inner-loop spinner or yellow standups, start the Episode at the inner loop, then start a prepared Multiball. Resume rank progress through envelopes or the Safe after the stack ends.

The goal

Spell THE SOPRANOS and shoot the inner loop to start an Episode. While it runs, knock down the Stugots target and lock two balls in the yacht to start Stugots Multiball.

  1. Start an Episode

    Shoot the inner-loop spinner or either yellow standup to spell THE SOPRANOS. Shoot the inner loop again to start the lit Episode, then follow its red flashing arrows.

  2. Start Stugots Multiball

    Knock down the target in front of the Stugots yacht to light Lock, then shoot the yacht. Repeat for the second lock to start two-ball Stugots Multiball.

  3. Advance your rank

    Shoot the envelope at each ramp and orbit, then shoot the inner loop for Advance Rank.

Alternative route: the Safe

Use this when direct Safe hits return more safely than the Stugots shot.

  1. Hit the Safe until it opens, then shoot the eject hole behind it to advance your rank.
