Wild Wild West / Lariat pinball rules and strategy
Strategy summary
The goal
Push the red and yellow vari-targets back to build their awards, then collect at the matching colored holes. Reaching WOW before collecting earns another ball; the point award differs between Wild Wild West and Lariat.
Build the target awards: Hit either vari-target to push it back and increase its award. Red and yellow have separate targets and matching collection holes.
Collect a target award: Shoot the red or yellow hole to collect the corresponding vari-target’s award and reset that target. Building the target and collecting at the hole are separate actions.
Collect WOW: Push a vari-target to WOW, then shoot its matching colored hole. Wild Wild West awards 1,000 points and lights Same Player Shoots Again; Lariat awards 10,000 points and an extra ball. The hole resets that target.
Complete Lariat’s numbers: Roll over all five numbers, 1–5, to earn an extra ball. Completing the sequence resets the numbers so you can build it again.
