Varkon pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

Complete upper targets 1 through 5 to light the ramp chamber, then shoot the lit chamber to hold the upper ball and start play on the lower level. Complete K-O-N for upper Bonus X. On the lower playfield, complete 6 through 10 for bonus and A-B for its multiplier.

The goal

Qualify the chamber first, use the lower level to build its large bonus safely, then resume the upper ball with K-O-N and the Bull's-Eye route already advanced.

  1. Complete upper targets 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to light the ramp chamber.

  2. Shoot the lit chamber to hold the upper-playfield ball and serve a ball onto the lower playfield.

  3. On the lower level, complete targets 6 through 10 to collect and advance bonus, and hit A and B to raise its multiplier.

  4. After the lower ball drains and the upper ball returns, complete K-O-N for upper Bonus X and continue 1-5 completions to raise the chamber value.
